Ed Cox, state Republican Party chairman, remarked that the indictments of Linda Sun and Christopher Hu signal a dangerous situation involving China's efforts to influence public officials: 'This is a wake-up call that this kind of Chinese operation is going on in New York State. China is not a friend. This is a national security issue.' His emphasis on the significance of these events reflects growing concerns about national security amidst evidence of foreign infiltration.
Rep. Ritchie Torres highlighted the extensive reach of Chinese operations in the U.S., stating, 'There is no foreign government that has penetrated the United States more deeply and broadly than the Chinese Communist Party. It may have the most effective and aggressive espionage operation in human history.' This stark warning stresses the preeminence of the CCP's influence and espionage activities.
A Democratic official from Queens anonymously expressed concern over the CCP's infiltration in the area, noting the visible presence of pro-CCP signs at parades: 'The CCP is trying to infiltrate. At parades there are signs for the CCP. I don’t want to be alarmist, but their presence is undeniable.' This comment underscores a localized awareness of foreign influence.
