The Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department (UFWD) doesn’t just meddle overseas; it twists U.S. politics at every level—including the Texas capitol. The UFWD thrives on mobilizing diaspora voices and sympathetic groups around legislation blocking Beijing’s strategic land grabs.

TPPF’s Chuck DeVore witnessed this firsthand when he recently testified in support of Texas Senate Bill 17, dubbed “Stopping Foreign Adversaries’ Land Grabs.” Dozens of the testimonies opposing the bill parroted talking points that could have been texted straight from Beijing. It wasn’t just a policy debate; it was a masterclass in how the CCP turns American freedoms into weapons against us.

China is not here to play nice. RSVP to join this expert panel for an eye-opening discussion on China’s coordinated interference operations within Texas.

Complimentary lunch will be provided for in-person attendees, and you are also welcome to tune in online via livestream.
