High ranking CCP scholar at elite DC think tank | Eastern North Carolina Now

A decade-old Chinese-language press release reveals an elite Washington, D.C., think tank knew of a prominent Chinese academic’s high-ranking Communist Party position before hiring him a month later — an affiliation the think tank omitted from the English-language press release heralding the opening of their new center in Beijing.

This new revelation comes as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace takes fire from Republicans on Capitol Hill after a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found the think tank employed at least 20 Chinese Communist Party (CCP) members during current CIA director William Burns’ tenure as the group’s president.

Yet, Shi is not the only individual tied to the Chinese government whom Carnegie appears to have knowingly allowed to join — the think tank also welcomed Zhang Yichen to its board of trustees in 2016. Zhang is an individual whom Carnegie acknowledged at the time was a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which directs Beijing’s influence operations, according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC).

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a major U.S. green group that has influenced Biden administration policymaking, has deep ties to the Chinese government.

The NRDC, a non-profit organization based in New York City with total assets exceeding $450 million, has worked on climate issues extensively in China since the mid-1990s and several of its top officials have worked for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or government-sponsored institutions.

I have to wonder how many of our "elected" so called representatives are on the CCP payroll.
