Details Revealed: Inside the CCP’s United Front Work in Minnesota

The CCP’s Covert Operations in Minnesota

In St. Paul, Minnesota, a mere ten-minute drive from the Governor’s Mansion, a nondescript brutalist brick building on the 1300 block of North Eustis Street is reportedly a hub for clandestine activities orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). This location is purportedly involved in operations detrimental to U.S. interests, including influencing local politicians and aiding Chinese Americans loyal to Beijing.

CCP’s Influence on Local Politics

It is alleged that from this facility, CCP operatives engage with political figures such as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and offer services to the Chinese community in Minnesota, including organizing events with CCP diplomats. Shockingly, businesses at this address have received substantial grants funded by American taxpayers.

Network of CCP-Linked Organizations

The building is linked to several entities including the Alliance of Chinese Culture & Arts, the Center for Community Service, and the Alliance of Minnesota Chinese Organizations. It also houses the Overseas Chinese Service Center of Minnesota (Minnesota OCSC), which is said to operate under the CCP’s “united front” strategy.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee describes the united front work as a comprehensive network that includes the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and Chinese intelligence services like the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and the Ministry of State Security (MSS), akin to China’s FBI and CIA, respectively.

George Soros sent his goons into my district to hold a fake townhall meeting. This is Rep. Jack Bergman. They didn’t invite me, but they used an empty chair as a prop while they attacked my support for DOGE and America First policies. If you’re tired of Soros-funded leftists attempting to sabotage America’s future, then please help me keep up the fight in Congress.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has referred to united front work as a “magic weapon” used to undermine the political sovereignty of targeted states. According to Peter Mattis, former CIA Counterintelligence Analyst and President of the Jamestown Foundation, this strategy harms U.S. interests through various means including technology transfers, surveillance, and spreading propaganda.

Notably, the Ministry of Public Security’s united front work includes operating covert overseas police stations. An example of such an operation was uncovered in Manhattan, where the FBI dismantled what they described as a “secret, illegal police station” used to intimidate Chinese dissidents and spread disinformation within the U.S.

Propaganda Efforts in Minnesota

The Minnesota OCSC is reportedly involved in spreading pro-CCP propaganda. Documents from the Chinese Foreign Ministry indicate the presence of a “propaganda chief” at the Minnesota OCSC, who participates in events at the Eustis Street location. High-profile CCP officials, including the Chinese Ambassador to the U.S., have visited this center, which has also sponsored events featuring CCP dignitaries.

Less than six weeks before the 2018 elections, then-gubernatorial candidate Tim Walz shared a stage with CCP officials at an event. After his election, Governor Walz invited the Chinese Consul General to his inauguration, signaling a concerning level of cooperation.

Dr. Bingwen Yan: A Key Figure

Dr. Bingwen Yan, head of the Minnesota OCSC, has established significant political connections in Minnesota and has made political donations to various candidates including Governor Walz. Dr. Yan has been instrumental in directing the united front operations in the Twin Cities since the Minnesota OCSC’s official charter by the Chinese government in 2016.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Yan organized efforts to send American medical supplies to China, aligning with the CCP’s global strategy to hoard medical resources. He also holds a title as Consular Protection Liaison Officer, further cementing his role in facilitating CCP’s objectives in the U.S.

Local Impact and Global Broadcast

Dr. Yan has also moderated significant events with Minnesota’s political leaders, focusing on issues like combating hate crimes against Asian Americans. These events were broadcast globally by Chinese state media, praised as exemplary advocacy for the overseas Chinese community.

Financial and Operational Details

The property of the Minnesota OCSC is owned by Eustis Partners, managed by Huan Gao, Dr. Yan’s deputy. This location supports multiple businesses, some of which have received substantial funding from Minnesota’s grant programs.

This ongoing investigation into the CCP’s covert operations in Minnesota reveals a troubling pattern of foreign interference that poses a significant threat to the integrity of American democratic and social systems.
