PoliticsHerridge: Fang Fang Case Shows CCP’s Multifaceted Infiltration of U.S. Politics

In a VOA interview, veteran U.S. investigative journalist Catherine Herridge described the Fang Fang case as evidence of a CCP influence effort using several channels in American politics. She cited political outreach, campaign donations, the collection of information that might be used to constrain politicians, and prolonged penetration of U.S. institutions and political networks. Records spanning more than a decade, she said, show that Beijing’s efforts were not a recent development.
