According to Asia analyst Gordon Chang, the Chinese consulate in Houston, recently ordered closed by the state department, may have been clandestinely supporting various protest groups in the United States with the goal of stoking racial violence.
Chinese consulates across the country have come under renewed scrutiny in recent months as several high-profile hacking jobs targeting Americans were exposed. Just recently, two college-age hackers were arrested by the FBI and charged with several cybercrimes.
The Chinese consulates in America have become nests of spies and saboteurs, so it shouldn’t surprise us that they are carrying out directives of the Chinese Communist government to weaken and divide America by stirring the pot of racial division.
“Also, there are stories that this consulate had links with protest groups in the United States providing financial and logistical support. That’s unconfirmed,” he added. “But, what is confirmed is that the Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Communist Party’s global ties have been engaged in a malicious disinformation campaign, deliberately stoking racial tensions in the U.S.
“And, U.S. Customs has seized items coming from China this year that would be very handy for protesters,” Chang noted.
It’s one thing to create false Facebook and Twitter accounts to try and influence the American election, as Russia is accused of doing in 2016. But it’s quite another thing to give aid to violent protest groups, buy off journalists, steal intellectual property, hack into private networks, and conduct massive surveillance operations designed to undermine the American government.
