Democrat Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), who voted against the creation of the House committee to investigate China, reportedly serves as the “honorary chairwoman” of an organization that allegedly serves as a front group for Chinese intelligence.
The Daily Caller reported that in August 2019, Chu was named “honorary chairwoman” of the Forums for Peaceful Reunification of China, an organization that is opposed to Taiwanese independence. Chu reportedly received her position during the organization’s 34th executive committee inauguration ceremony.
As the Daily Caller reported:
Chu received a signed English certificate at the August 2019 event from Guo Zhiming, the incoming “chairman” of the Forums for Peaceful Reunification of China, stating that her appointment was in recognition of her “outstanding friendship and support,” according to photos of the event posted by the Las Vegas Chinese News Network.
Chu advocated against Taiwan’s independence at the event, stating that she wished for China and Taiwan “to become one family,” according to a DCNF translation of an archived article posted by the Alliance for China’s Peaceful Reunification USA (ACPRUSA), an anti-Taiwan independence organization also listed as one of CCPPNR’s 33 U.S. chapters.
