Chinese Influence Operations in the U.S.: Shedding Some Light on All the Heat
Concern about the impact of Chinese Communist Party United Front work, investment, espionage, and market power on American higher education, film, technology, and other industries has emerged as a new factor in bilateral relations.

Overview
In 2017, prior to the White House's declaration that China was a “horrible danger” to American interests, economic well-being, and values, U.S. China-watchers had become increasingly alarmed about Chinese political influence on American institutions and communities.
