WATCH:ANOTHER Chinese Spy Convicted by Jury for Operating SECRET POLICE Outpost in NYC
President Donald Trump’s high-stakesvisitto China comes at a moment when Americans are receiving a disturbing reminder of how deeply Beijing has tried to penetrate American politics, media, and local government.
On the latest episode ofThe Patriot Perspective, co-hosts Gregory Lyakhov and Ofer Adar discussed Trump’s summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the growing threat of Chinese influence operations inside the United States, and why China may become one of the most important players in the ongoing Iran conflict.
The timing could not be more serious. Trump arrived in Beijing this week for a two-day summit with Xi, with trade, technology, Taiwan, and Iran all expected to figure into the broader diplomatic picture.
Trump is joined by a major business delegation, including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang andElon Musk, as the administration seeks to open China further to American business and preserve a fragile trade truce.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also accompanied Trump on the trip, an unusual move that signals the meeting is about far more than tariffs. TheSouth China Morning Postreported that Hegseth became the first Pentagon chief in decades to accompany a sitting U.S. president on a state visit to China, and the first since Richard Nixon’s 1972 trip to Beijing.
China’s threat to America cannot be measured only through trade statistics or military power. Beijing’s influence inside the United States is becoming harder to ignore.
Just this week, Arcadia, California, MayorEileen Wangagreed to plead guilty to acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China.
According to the Justice Department, Wangworkedfrom late 2020 through 2022 with Yaoning “Mike” Sun at the direction of Chinese government officials to promote pro-China propaganda in the United States. Sun is currently serving a four-year federal prison sentence after pleading guilty in October 2025 to acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government.
Prosecutors said Wanghelpedoperate a website called “U.S. News Center,” which presented itself as a legitimate news source for the Chinese-American community while allegedly functioning as a mouthpiece for Beijing. The propaganda included content disputing reports about human rights abuses against Uyghurs in Xinjiang.
