Surprise, surprise, surprise!
This article by M. Walter in the American Thinker is another example of assault by means other than open warfare.
On Monday August 25, 2025 The New York Times published a lengthy piece entitled,“How China Influences Elections in America’s Biggest City” with the subtitle: “The Chinese consulate in Manhattan has mobilized community groups to defeat candidates who don’t fall in line with the authoritarian state.”
Though it’s ostensibly a story just on New York City, the reporting is not confined to matters there. Both a Democrat U.S. congresswoman on a sensitive committee and New York’s Democrat Governor get a looking-at. And while Governor Hochul may not be your governor or mine, she clearly has a seat of national influence, and at least according to the piece, has some very troubling associations with Chairman Xi’s agents of influence, so we’ll review what they had to say about her.
You will be unsurprised to learn that the Chinese communists seem to be cut from the same cloth as progressive Democrats.
We’ve got that sketchy Democrat U.S. congresswoman on a sensitive committee to look at, but let’s start with New York’s Democrat Governor Hochul, she of the most brutal resting b*tch face in the lower 48. (I can say that because I am a woman and equally comfortable saying Bernie Sanders has a resting b*tch face too.)
Last year, a federal indictment accused a former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul of conspiring with the heads of two Chinese associations, saying their political activities ‘were supervised, directed, and controlled’ by Chinese officials [emphasis added].
As if that weren’t enough, girlfriend brought her face, presumably with a smile forced onto it, to a fundraiser. But not just any fundraiser. One Xi would heartily approve of. The Times observes that our tax money, which can fund these “associations,” flows freely: “sometimes politicians steer government funding back to the groups that supported them.”
Now what about this sketchy congresswoman, Representative Grace Meng (D-NY)? She too attended a meeting that would make Xi proud:
Representatives of the Chinese consulate, Yin Minjun and Xing Yulin, presided over a ceremony in which the association’s old president passed the official seal to the new one.
Reading from pink pieces of paper, group leaders pledged to uphold core Chinese policies, including ‘reunification’ with Taiwan.
Holding a Chinese flag, the group sang ‘My Chinese Heart,’ a popular patriotic ballad in China.
Later, Representative Grace Meng, a congresswoman from New York, made a short and unremarkable speech…
Representative Grace Meng (D-NY) is a “member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs.”
The first picture Google found of her in a simple search of her name was from The Clinton Foundation.
Good to know she has a voice in how our money is spent and in our diplomacy, hmm?
Both Congresswoman Meng and Governor Hochul have associations which, had they been Republicans and the “associations” involved been Russian, would have ended their careers.
Combine that with how the local and federal tax agencies are looking the other way, and as Chris Plante of WMAL radio in Washington D.C. so often says, “It’s good to be a Democrat!”
