The CCP is a mafia. The world’s largest, richest, and most insidious mafia. The worst part is that the “free world” made it what it is today. Now we must undo that mistake at great cost and great risk.
“The FBI calls the Chinese Communist Party’s stalking, harassment, and assault of those who might oppose the Party ‘transnational repression,' but to most Americans, the CCP’s bullying looks a lot like mafia behavior.” — Chairman
