The State Department has designated a Chinese Communist Party organization operating in the United States as a foreign mission. It also terminated a 2011 agreement with Beijing to hold a collaboration summit between governors in both nations.
The National Association for China’s Peaceful Unification (NACPU), an organization controlled by China’s United Front Work Department (UFWD), was slapped with the designation on Oct. 28, which means it will now be treated as a foreign embassy or diplomatic mission and be required to register its staff rosters and U.S. properties with the State Department.
