China’s communist regime presents a unique threat to the U.S. homeland and is actively working to undermine U.S. security and damage U.S. economic standing, a senior Homeland Security (DHS) official says.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, seeks to leverage the whole of the Chinese nation against the United States, according to Iranga Kahangama, assistant DHS secretary for cyber, infrastructure, risk, and resilience.
