The Spy's United Front Network
Wanying 'Heather' Zhang, who is alleged to be a CCP spy for surveilling the US-based son of the Taiwanese President, is a member of All American Chinese Association (AACA).
The AACA is identified as a 'united front' org in one investigation and has extensive ties to CCP intelligence and narrative messaging. AACA President Cai 'Edward' Chenghua works with an ostensible 'Who's who" of CCP intel orgs, is directly tied to a Chinese principal that is a PRC registered agent under FARA, and has extensive operations with united front activities and PRC consulates inside the US.
The CCP's united front, which spans at least 1,000 orgs across the U.S., operates like a network for spies and influence operatives to drop in, network across, and leverage for trouble-making.
The U.S. needs to be overwhelming response to this political warfare that includes sanctions, charges, deportations, and registration of any remaining agents. 🧵👇
