Caught in the act?

More fallout from the Chinese Spy out of New York.
 Exclusive | Chinese Communist Party tried to 'steal' NY assembly seat, Queens pol Ron Kim claims just days after ex-Hochul aide's arrest as foreign agent (nypost.com)

 Queens state Assemblyman Ron Kim says groups tied to the Chinese Community Party tried to topple him and steal his predominantly Asian-populated seat in the June Democratic primary.
 
“There were clear patterns of foreign influence trying to dictate the outcome of the election — groups with ties to mainland China and the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. They were trying to steal the Flushing seat,”  Kim told The Post.
 
“It’s a very layered operation. We’re entering dangerous territory. I don’t know how we can stop it,”  he said. 
 
Kim, a Korean-American, is speaking out after the stunning arrest of Linda Sun, a former top aide to Govs. Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo.

Sun, along with her husband, Christopher Hu, is charged with being an unregistered agent for the CCP in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks and laundering the illicit money to buy a $4.1 million mansion in Manhasset, LI, a $2 million posh Honolulu condo and a fleet of luxury cars, including a 2024 Ferrari Roma.
 
Kim’s Dem opponent in the 40th District’s primary race, upstart Yi Andy Chen, was endorsed by the American Chinese Commerce Association. The association is a group identified as linked to the CCP and John Chan, a Chinese-American activist and chairman of the group with reportedly close ties to the People’s Republic of China and its Consulate General office in New York.
 
Kim, who was first elected in 2012, won his tough primary battle by 443 votes. 
 
The CCP’s influence-flexing in New York’s growing Asian communities has been whispered about in recent years, but people feared going on the record to avoid being targeted by the powerful foreign government known to monitor its critics abroad, sources said.
 
“It’s a scary thing,” Kim said of speaking out against the CCP.
 
He said an overwhelming majority of Chinese and other Asians move here to flee communism and authoritarianism for a better life and are patriotic Americans.
“The majority of Asia groups are loyal to American business and American capital,” Kim said.
 
But “there is a new wave of organizations tied to the CCP that are not loyal to our way of life,” he said.

Sorry for quoting so much of the story, but there is a lot I didn't quote but really wanted to. The highlight here is that the roll of the CCP in influencing local politicians through extortion and bribes seems to have crossed a tipping point for enough people that something is being done about it. 

One thing I'm worried about is that China might be allowing this exposure on purpose. By this winter there won't be any Aircraft Carrier fleets in the Pacific Occean. If this information is correct, then I would expect a Pearl Harbor like attack from China in either the US or one of its allies, most likely Tiawan but Japan or even US mainland is possible. With these negative reports going out about China, goading the US population into a war with China wouldn't be too hard with these reports being allowed to come out. 

Hopefully my assessment is wrong and these reports about Chinese corruption getting exposed is due to people having enough of their crap, but I'm still warry about why now.
