Natalie Winters writes about "Top American Generals Joined a CCP Spy Front's Backchannel Pushing China’s Military Agenda in Washington. Some Ended Up on China’s Payroll." As she points out:
The Chinese Communist Party did not need to penetrate the Pentagon to gain access to America’s military leadership.
It built a private network around it.
The program, she reveals, was called the Sanya Initiative (and, later, the “U.S.-China Military-to-Military Dialogue”); and it brought together "some of the most powerful retired officers in the United States participated in closed-door meetings with senior Chinese military leaders" to discuss "Taiwan, the South China Sea, missile defense, cybersecurity and the future of relations between the two militaries." She names names, which include a bevy of former top generals of the various branches of the military as well as chairmen or vice-chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But it didn't stop there:
According to the foundation’s own brochure, they met:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen
Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell
Rep. Rick Larsen
Rep. Mark Kirk
Adm. Timothy Keating
Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle
CUSEF published a photograph of the Chinese and American generals meeting Clinton in Washington.
And it appears that lasted, with only a few years skipped, between 2008 and 2024.
