Josh Rogin: “The Chinese government claims a foreign policy of noninterference in other countries’ internal affairs, but there’s a growing mountain of evidence that’s just not true.

Its efforts are aimed at undermining their democratic institutions, creating economic dependence and stifling any criticism of Beijing.”

“In the United States, Chinese influence operations combined with Chinese government-sponsored economic aggression are causing increasing alarm.”
