Why Does Congresswoman Chu Want The FBI To Back Off Chinese Spies?
2021-08-14
[AND Magazine] Sometimes it seems like the actions of Chinese intelligence in the United States are invisible and clandestine. Other times, it appears that they are right there for everyone to see in the light of day. Such is the appearance at least of California Representative Judy Chu’s efforts to roll back Trump era efforts to get some control over rampant CCP espionage in this country.

Under Trump, the Department of Justice launched something called the China Initiative. It was an effort, after years of neglect, to push back on the looting of our national security secrets and critical intellectual property by Chinese intelligence operatives. The scale of that Chinese effort had reached the point where it threatened to change the balance of power and give Beijing a decisive military advantage.

Judy Chu wants to end the China Initiative. She is leading the charge on Capitol Hill to brand the DOJ and the FBI as racist and xenophobic and to end the crackdown on Chinese spies. Chu’s mantra is that the China Initiative is analogous to the internment of Japanese during the Second World War, another "Red Scare" and unjustified response to an exaggerated threat.

Maybe Chu genuinely believes all that. Maybe something very different is afoot.

Judy Chu was in contact with and photographed in the company of the same Chinese spy, Fang Fang, who famously slept with and cultivated Congressman Eric Swalwell. Fang was part of a wide-ranging Chinese effort to cultivate Democratic politicians in the Bay area. Fang appears to have taken the same kinds of efforts on behalf of Chu as she did for Swalwell. Fang helped organize a 2012 town hall for Rep. Judy Chu.

Chu has a history of affiliation with Communist organizations. vIn the 1980’s she was a leader of a group called the Federation for Progress, which was a front organization for the Communist Workers Party. Communist Workers Party was a U.S.-based Maoist political organization. The group published an internal bulletin called The Expert Red, a theoretical journal called The Eighties, and a near-weekly newspaper called Workers Viewpoint. The group changed its name to the New Democratic Movement in 1985.

Chu has made a number of trips to China. Her first trip was in 1990 when relations were only just developing between Beijing and Washington. At the time she was a small-town mayor. She visited China again in 1994 and 1999 as a city councilwoman.

In 2011 Chu led a congressional delegation to Beijing. She was invited to travel to China by the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs. After visiting Beijing Chu also traveled to east China’s Jiangsu Province, the financial hub of Shanghai, and south China’s Guangdong Province.
