United Front main ‘soft-power’ tool for China’s governing Communist Party

"China’s President and Communist Party boss, Xi Jinping, has called the United Front his regime’s 'magic weapon' in his drive to achieve the 'Chinese Dream' of returning to his country’s historic position as the world’s predominant economic, political and cultural superpower."

Book promotion tours are an opportunity for readers to tell authors everything they’ve got wrong.

I’m in the middle of peddling my book Claws of the Panda: Beijing’s Campaign of Influence and Intimidation in Canada. While the audience response is largely positive, questions and comments point to some flaws.

Listening to Canadians of Chinese, Tibetan, Uigher and Taiwanese heritage in particular I wish I had reflected far more powerfully the daily pressure many of these people feel from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) through its agents of influence and clandestine organizations operating in Canada.

One of the themes running through Claws of the Panda is that it is Canadians who hail from China or from territories occupied or claimed by the CCP who are the main victims of Beijing’s campaign of intimidation here.

The book presents a catalogue of well-documented cases of CCP agents targeting and threatening Canadian citizens who Beijing considers a threat to its one party state. It also sets out the CCP’s successful efforts to control most Chinese language media in Canada, and the mechanisms put in place by Beijing’s agents to direct the political life of Canada’s ethnic Chinese communities.

But in retrospect I don’t think I fully grasped or conveyed the impact on the lives of these Canadians, the vast majority of whom or whose forebears came to Canada to escape authoritarian CCP rule.

How China’s ‘United Front’ Endangers Ethnic Chinese Abroad

https://thediplomat.com/2020/05/how-chinas-united-front-endangers-ethnic-chinese-abroad/

Amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, China’s United Front Work Department is putting the Chinese diaspora in greater danger.

Countries around the world continue to suffer in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. At the same time, the issue of China’s role in this global pandemic – and how to hold the Chinese regime accountable — is getting more attention.

Countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, and more are joining the discussion regarding the origin of the new coronavirus strand that causes COVID-19. More importantly, countries are beginning to ponder the post-COVID international order as the world economy goes into recession as a result of this global pandemic. The United States continues to pressure China over its actions in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Australia and China are stuck in some heated exchanges as the Chinese regime threatens to boycott Australian goods over Canberra’s calls for an investigation into the early handling of COVID-19 in China.

In Canada, the country’s relationship with China is becoming a critical part of political campaigns. Erin O’Toole, a Canadian member of parliament running to become the leader of Canada’s Official Opposition, claims that Canada is on the brink of a new Cold War with China. Peter MacKay, another Conservative leadership candidate, is calling to use the Magnitsky Act to sanction Chinese officials over their mishandling of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 pandemic has damaged the Canadian economy significantly. According to Statistics Canada, the country lost 2 million jobs in April, driving the unemployment rate up to 13 percent. A forecast made by Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer predicted that the Canadian economy will shrink by 5.1 percent in 2020.

These concerns are echoed by the latest media stories on China’s influence in Canada and its implications for the general public. Canadian media outlet Global News reported that China utilized all channels, from diplomatic means and state-owned enterprises to the Chinese diaspora community associations under the influence of the Chinese United Front Work Department, to purchase personal protective equipment as the COVID-19 outbreak troubled China from mid-January on. According to the Global News reports, these actions were supported by networks from cities like Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Melbourne, and Tokyo. The Communist regime was attempting to take advantage of its diaspora community to bulk-buy N95 masks in order to ship “back batches of scarce supplies for the motherland.”

Reorganizing the United Front Work Department: New Structures for a New Era of Diaspora and Religious Affairs Work

Introduction—The Growing Role of the CCP’s United Front Work

The structure and functions of organizations within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are often poorly documented. However, buried inside a January 2019 Global Times article was a reference to “a deputy head of the 12th bureau of the United Front Work Department” (Global Times, January 6), or UFWD. This mention of a previously unknown bureau hinted that over the past four years the UFWD has undergone one of the most substantial restructurings seen in any of the CCP’s core civilian departments since the early 1950s.

Western analysts have frequently downplayed the significance of united front work and the department coordinating it—the UFWD—or overlooked it altogether. [1] But in recent years, the global discussion about CCP interference has drawn greater attention to united front activities and the UFWD (Wilson Center, September 2017). Without question, united front activities have taken on renewed importance under General Secretary Xi Jinping, who has been working to ensure that all relevant parts of the CCP bureaucracy carry out united front work (Lowy Institute, November 2017; China Tibet Net, October 28, 2016). The past four years have seen united front work expand in scope, resourcing and top-level coordination (Central Institute of Socialism, May 7, 2017; China Brief, April 24, 2018).

United front work (tongzhan gongzuo, 统战工作) is the process of building a “united front” coalition around the CCP in order to serve the Party’s objectives, subordinating targeted groups both domestically and abroad. United front work is viewed by Party leaders as a crucial component of the CCP’s victory in the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949), and is now central to controlling and utilizing domestic groups that might threaten the CCP’s power, as well as projecting influence abroad. Building a greater understanding of united front work is essential to countering political influence and interference conducted by the CCP.

The MERCER pen is pointing at Sechin.

Igor Sechin was the head of Rosneft when he signed a sweetheart supply deal with China that basically guaranteed supplies at a stable price regardless of OPEC and the international market price moves.

Even though he resigned from Rosneft in 2011 he is still involved.

If Mercer the dog is pointing at Pooh bear who represents China's Xi then the pen is pointing at Sechin who represents Rosneft or perhaps Russian Petroleum in general

==Igor Sechin and Zhang Jianhua Sign Provision on Russian-Chinese Energy Business

Forum==

https://www.rosneft.com/press/releases/item/195533/

Executive Secretary of the Presidential Commission on the Strategy for the Development of the Fuel and Energy Industry and Environmental Safety, Chief Executive Officer of Rosneft Oil Company Igor Sechin and Director of the National Energy Administration of China Zhang Jianhua have signed a provision on the Russian-Chinese Energy Business Forum.

The document was signed in the presence of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping during the state visit of the Chinese leader.

The Forum was established upon an initiative of the leaders of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China to exchange opinions and develop energy cooperation between Russian and Chinese enterprises, financial institutions, associations, think-tanks, and R&D organisations.

The Forum is coordinated by the Presidential Commission on the Strategy for the Development of the Fuel and Energy Industry and Environmental Safety and the National Energy Administration of China.

The first Forum took place last November in Beijing and became a significant event for the development of the energy dialogue between Russia and China. Currently, it is a permanent institution that will contribute to the implementation of promising joint projects, development of a transparent and constructive dialogue between business and government bodies of Russia and China.

Think the problem will be solved if China backs off?

The infiltration is a hundred times worse than that!

The YOUs are the root of all our problems

There is onlyONE ENEMY

And that enemy isYOU!!!

Blame the YOU for complying with the evil plans of the Cabal.

We The People Have All The Power.

That is why they had to trick us!

You broke it!

No point moaning and crying on this board.

Because nothing will change for the better until the majority actually take action.

Non violent action to stand up against evil

And to speak truth to power

And bluntly tell them that they do not have the right to be dictators.

It is really weird that in a town of 4000

In a mainly rural area of Ontario

The police would shoot a guy because he roughed up a worker

And ran home.

What was the big hurry?

They had ID. They had address.

They could have encircled his place and waited.

It's called KEEPING THE PEACE.

5d chess is where you fool everybody

But especially, you trick the blackhats into a trap

They think they are doubling down

And then BOOM

They have been surrounded.

So do not believe that Pence has done anything wrong

When you have no hard evidence that would stand up in a court of law.

The people micro-analyzing words are howling hyenas

Being paid by the evil Cabal of pedophile murderers.

Never forget that!

So China is enable the Cultural Marxist crowd to dominate the Universities in the USA.

If the universities had to serve American customers, they would be more responsive to the needs of the majority for real education minus the propaganda

Tell you what, Anon.

I like your house and your car and that garage has some interesting stuff in it.

So I have a plan to redistribute your wealth to me

Now take a knee and bow to me because you don't want to be called greedy, now do you?

What do you say? Isn't this a great idea to redistribute other people's stuff?'

McCain acted to directly support ISIS including personally meeting with their leaders in Syria. This makes him guilty of treason and if there were two witnesses to go with the other evidence, it is a slam dunk case.

Lindsey Graham was being blackmailed by McCain and told to take various political actions or else. There is no evidence that he knew any of the specifics of what McCain was doing.

See the difference?

Even a seditious conspiracy charge would not stick against someone who was blackmailed to take actions.

Since the ginger haired guy IS NOT EVEN LOOKING AT ZUCKERERG

And he is clearly not a clone of Zuckerberg either.

The evidence presented shows that the questioner is a MORON not an Autist.

I agree that it is notable but I am shocked that they dared to even suggest such a thing.
