CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It means that I was prepared to point of the difference in someone being the beneficiary of foreign propaganda vs. actively participating in it.
Wang admitted she took directives from PRC officials and concealed them. Mueller found Russia interfered on its own initiative; the Trump campaign welcomed the "help" (ex: the Trump Tower meeting, public requests for Russia to find Clinton's emails) but the evidence didn't show them taking operational direction from the Kremlin. "Trump's crew did the same thing" overstates the similarities, as nobody in Trump's orbit pleaded guilty to or was convicted of acting as an agent of the Russian government, which is the specific charge Wang admitted to.
Flynn pleaded guilty to one felony count of "willfully and knowingly making materially false statements and omissions to the Federal Bureau of Investigation" about conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak. The lies concerned his December 2016 conversations with Kislyak, in which Flynn asked Russia to moderate its response to sanctions the Obama administration had just imposed, and not to support a UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements.
Manaforts charges largely had nothing to do with Russia directly — they were about his prior work in Ukraine (which involved money laundering). Manaforts sharing of polling data with Kilimnik drew undestandable scrutiny, but Manafort was never actually charged with anything in relation to that.

Trump have worked to weaken NATO since 1987. If he's not taking instructions from Russia, he is a useful fool to them.

Fine. I'm all for using credible sources, and check several to make sure something actually did occur as represented. A California MAYOR actually pleaded guilty to working for China, and that should concern everyone. How many others are there?

Thats a good question. How often has this been an problem? Last time I heard about something like this it was quickly dismissed as a non issue so the question that comes to mind is how can we investigate this without it becoming a huge partisan issue?

It should be a non-partisan issue, but I don't think identifying the party of a person is wrong. We all need to be aware of the tactics the Chinese use, here is a quote from another article as to the Chinese government approach:
“It’s quite common for them to try and rope foreigners, either speaking out on China’s behalf and kind of repeating key talking points, or to amplify stuff that was already out there,” Ohlberg said. China’s mentality, she said, was that you “need to fight hostile narratives and you need to make sure there’s no space for them”.
A California mayor pleaded guilty to acting as an agent for China. Foreign policy experts aren’t surprised
Eileen Wang, 58, worked with China to promote Beijing’s interests and could face up to 10 years in federal prison

Eileen Wang agreed with prosecutors that she worked with the People’s Republic of China to boost propaganda with a fake news website on US soil between 2020 and 2022. She was elected to Arcadia City Council in November 2022 — the city is located in the San Gabriel Valley within LA County.There is plenty of fake news out there, I am sure China not only has direct links like this but also funnels money to the sites that are most anti-Trump.

Over the years, there have been similar cases of China’s political meddling, and analysts have said there is a pattern in which Beijing recruits Chinese immigrants to infiltrate governments or to silence Chinese dissidents living abroad and other critics of the government.
Intelligence officials have said that as China’s sway in Washington diminishes, the government is increasingly seeking to influence local governments, which are not as savvy at detecting such efforts.
