Frank Gaffney, former acting assistant secretary of defense under the Reagan administration, has advocated for decisive action to cut off financial flows to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in response to its intensifying transnational repression of Chinese dissidents, including Falun Gong practitioners and Shen Yun Performing Arts.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Gaffney described the CCP’s growing cross-border influence operations as a pressing national security concern that demands immediate attention.
