The Epoch Times recently obtained leaked government documents from a trusted source that reveal the go-betweens who have helped the Chinese regime establish its sister city programs with other countries. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has promoted its agenda through sister city partnerships with the West, and U.S. lawmakers have sounded the alarm of the threats posed by such programs.

The documents show that over the years, the CCP’s “fifth column“ such as Chinese cultural, trade, and student associations, and their representatives who toe the Party line have played an important role in assisting the regime’s United Front Department to promote the sister city partnerships with foreign local governments.
