The State Department is reviewing the U.S. activities of two organizations supervised by the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department (UFWD)–a powerful agency tasked with overseeing the regime’s foreign influence operations, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.

Pompeo said the department is probing the U.S.-China Friendship Association and the China Council for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification.
