A prominent lawyer in Britain, accused of trying to advance Beijing\u2019s interests in Parliament.An aide to a far-right politician in Germany, suspected of passing information about the inner workings of the European Parliament to China.A politician in Canada, accused of receiving help from the Chinese Consulate organizing busloads of international students from China to vote for him in party elections.Even before Linda Sun, a former senior aide in the New York governor\u2019s office, was charged this month with using her position to benefit the Chinese government, suspected cases of Chinese foreign meddling had been on the rise in Western democracies.Allegations of Chinese political interference have also surfaced in Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium and the Netherlands in recent years.The clandestine activity usually follows a pattern, analysts said. China recruits members of Chinese diaspora communities to infiltrate halls of power, or to silence Chinese dissidents and other critics of Beijing.Covert Chinese operations abroad have long centered on seizing industrial secrets and technology in sensitive sectors such as the military, aviation or telecommunications, with the aim of trying to erode the United States\u2019 edge.What Ms. Sun is accused of doing is part of a different side of Chinese intelligence work \u2014 one that is focused on influencing political discourse so that it leans more favorably toward China\u2019s positions on contentious issues like the status of Taiwan, the self-governing island claimed by Beijing, or the repression of China\u2019s ethnic Uyghur minority.Federal prosecutors said Ms. Sun, who served as a liaison to the Asian community, blocked Taiwanese officials from having access to the governor\u2019s office and removed references to Taiwan and Uyghurs from state communications. In return, prosecutors say, she and her husband, Chris Hu, received millions of dollars in benefits.\u201cThese are classic tactics that we are seeing,\u201d said Anne-Marie Brady, a political scientist at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, who specializes in Chinese influence efforts, referring to the allegations against Ms. Sun. \u201cChina is very proactive at trying to make use of overseas Chinese communities and ethnic Chinese politicians and officials to get information and shape policy.\u201dChina\u2019s attempts to interfere with Western democracies are likely to grow more acute as relations between Beijing and the West fray, Ms. Brady said. Not since the Cold War have two powers like the United States and China competed so fiercely for global influence.Finding it harder to sway national governments in such an environment, the Chinese government has instead directed its attention to local, county and state governments, which are not as savvy at detecting such efforts, experts say.Chinese leaders and intelligence officials may feel emboldened if their interference efforts exact little cost to Beijing, analysts say.No Chinese diplomats at the New York consulate, for example, have been expelled from the United States despite four officials being implicated as co-conspirators in the indictment against Ms. Sun and her husband. In contrast, as recently as 2019, two Chinese officials suspected of espionage were secretly expelled from the United States for driving onto a sensitive military base in Virginia.\u201cThe point we should be making about this case is not that a Chinese American allegedly committed this crime, but that the P.R.C. Government, and its senior officials, intentionally sought to place an American citizen into this position,\u201d said Matt Turpin, former director for China at the National Security Council and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, referring to the People\u2019s Republic of China. Mr. Turpin said the Biden administration should have declared the four diplomats included in Ms. Sun\u2019s indictment as persona non grata.\u201cNow they just look weak,\u201d Mr. Turpin said.China has said virtually nothing about Ms. Sun\u2019s arrest, and has heavily censored discussions about it online. A spokeswoman for China\u2019s foreign ministry, Mao Ning, declined to comment on the case other than to say, \u201cWe oppose malicious associations and slander against China.\u201dMany other countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand, remain divided about how to deter Chinese interference. Some want law enforcement to be more aggressive. Others fear doing so will sow racism and result in racial profiling of Chinese diaspora communities.Those debates play into what Ms. Brady said were growing divisions in free societies, fueled by partisanship and populism, that China views as irrefutable signs of the West\u2019s decline. Beijing aims to exploit those fissures, much as Russia has been doing, to weaken its geopolitical rivals.\u201cChina thinks its moment is now,\u201d Ms. Brady said. \u201cSo instead of withdrawing, they\u2019re going harder.\u201dChina\u2019s assertive tactics reflect the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping.Under his rule, upholding national security has required a \u201cwhole of society\u201d mobilization. Ordinary Chinese citizens are encouraged to spy on one another and to be suspicious of foreigners and virtually everything else. Senior leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is stacked with officials with security backgrounds. China\u2019s spy agency, the Ministry of State Security, has also raised its ambitions and public profile, going so far as to create a social media account to publicize its investigations.\u201cIt\u2019s a bit like the Venetian Republic at its apogee, where everyone was potentially engaged in some form of covert activity to further the interests of the state,\u201d said Nigel Inkster, the former director of operations and intelligence for Britain\u2019s Secret Intelligence Service.\u201cAnd of course, the Chinese Communist Party was forged in a crucible of clandestinity that is still very much part of its political culture,\u201d Mr. Inkster added, referring to the party\u2019s emergence more than a century ago as an underground revolutionary organization.China has tried to apply the same furtive strategy to its relations with the outside world. It supplements its normal diplomacy with a covert network of party members, organizations and overseas Chinese groups that work to promote China\u2019s policies abroad. Those efforts, which Mr. Xi has called one of China\u2019s \u201cmagic weapons,\u201d often come under the guidance of a party organ known as the United Front Work Department.The group, which had an estimated budget of $2.6 billion as recently as 2019, serves as the party\u2019s intelligence agency. It often works in conjunction with China\u2019s other spy agencies, which fall under the control of the military and the central government.In 2017, when Ms. Sun was in her early 30s, she traveled to Beijing to attend an event where she was celebrated as a Chinese youth living overseas. On that same trip, Ms. Sun made a side visit to the eastern city of Nanjing in Jiangsu province, where she was born, to meet with Wang Hua, the top official for the province\u2019s United Front Work Department.During the meeting, Mr. Wang told Ms. Sun she should \u201cbe an ambassador of Sino-American friendship\u201d and \u201cactively promote solidarity\u201d among Chinese migrants in New York, Chinese state media reported at the time.The United Front Work Department plays prominently in other suspected cases too. In 2022, Britain\u2019s domestic security agency, MI5, issued an alert about a British Chinese lawyer named Christine Ching Kui Lee. The notice accused Ms. Lee of acting covertly through the United Front Work Department to \u201ccultivate relationships with influential figures in order to ensure the U.K. political landscape is favorable\u201d to the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s agenda. Ms. Lee has reportedly denied the allegations and has filed a lawsuit against MI5.The United Front Work Department is also linked to an Australian Chinese community leader, Di Sanh \u201cSunny\u201d Duong, the target of Australia\u2019s first prosecution under a new foreign interference law; and bands of pro-Beijing supporters accused of attacking protesters last November in San Francisco when Mr. Xi attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, according to an investigation by The Washington Post.Mr. Xi and the party have long considered overseas Chinese populations both an asset and a risk. An estimated 60 million people of Chinese origin live outside of China, including 5.4 million in the United States, and they have been called on by Mr. Xi to help with \u201ctelling China\u2019s story well.\u201d They have been encouraged to \u201cactively participate in and support\u201d the \u201cpeaceful reunification of China,\u201d a reference to Taiwan coming under Beijing\u2019s control.At the same time, Mr. Xi\u2019s supporters overseas have worked to silence and intimidate Beijing\u2019s critics living abroad. That has grown more urgent with the expansion of Uyghur and Hong Kong Chinese diasporas escaping crackdowns on freedoms at home. Overseas Chinese student associations, for example, have played a central role in pushing back against open criticism of Beijing and its policies on college campuses around the world.China\u2019s embrace of overseas Chinese has left many members of that community feeling like there is a target on their backs. In the United States, Chinese Americans have been obliged to defend their loyalties \u2014 with a chilling effect on scientists of Chinese descent. In 2022, the Justice Department scrapped a Trump-era initiative aimed at Chinese theft of American intellectual property. The program came under fire from civil rights groups and was criticized for failing to win many prosecutions.Researchers say the emergence of Ms. Sun\u2019s case risks trapping the diaspora between a suspicious American public and Beijing\u2019s desire to drive a wedge between ethnic Chinese and their adopted homes.\u201cThe freedoms of Chinese diaspora communities and the health of multicultural democracies are at stake,\u201d said Audrye Wong, an expert on Chinese foreign influence at the University of Southern California. \u201cBeijing likes to claim to speak on behalf of all ethnic Chinese overseas, intentionally blurring the lines between Chinese nationals and those of ethnic Chinese descent who are citizens of other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
