Chinese United Front appoints Chinese Americans as overseas propaganda agents and uses honors to influence diaspora The passage details a systematic effort by the Chinese Communist Party to co‑opt Chinese‑American community leaders through United Front appointments and trips, linking them to campaigns against dissidents such as Guo Wengui. It provides concrete examples (vice‑president of COFA, Fujian Daily report, dates) that could be followed up for verification, but the information is largely descriptive and not yet tied to specific illegal actions or financial transactions, limiting its immediate investigative payoff. Key insights: United Front agencies appoint Chinese‑American diaspora leaders to formal positions (e.g., vice‑president of COFA).; Recipients receive honors, free trips, and are tasked as "overseas propaganda agents" after the 19th Party Congress (Oct 2017).; These appointees have led protests against Taiwan and Tibet and targeted dissident billionaire Guo Wengui.
