Republican senators have requested the Justice Department and FBI provide information about seven newly-identified Chinese Communist Party (CCP) outposts operating on U.S. soil.

The outposts, called Overseas Chinese Service Centers (OCSC), are run by the CCP’s United Front department, a powerful agency that works to advance the regime’s interests abroad, including by carrying out foreign influence operations, suppressing dissident movements, gathering intelligence, and facilitating the transfer of technology to China.
