APAPA's Hidden Ties to Chinese Influence | Charleston News

A nonprofit linked to the Chinese Communist Party quietly placed interns in U.S. political offices — including those of prominent lawmakers — while its former president, Fang Fang, allegedly operated as an unregistered foreign agent before fleeing the country. FBI documents reveal she targeted Midwest politicians and was a key contact for Rep. Adam Smith. Current APAPA leadership denies her ties, but national chair Henry Yin — who claims to advise Rep. Ro Khanna — has deep connections to CCP-linked groups, traveled to China on state-backed missions, and holds advisory roles with multiple U.S. officials. The episode exposes a tangled web of influence, raising urgent questions about transparency and foreign interference in American politics.
