At least five American student groups completed trips to Beijing in just one month this January, since the Chinese leader Xi Jinping announced his plan to renew the China-U.S. youth friendship late last year, said a report. Critics warn that the regime has successfully expanded its brainwashing techniques to American soil, aiming to turn innocent American youths into its authoritarian agents.
During Xi’s visit to San Francisco last year, he announced his plan to invite 50,000 young Americans to China on exchange and study programs in the next five years in a dinner event organized by the U.S. Friendly Organizations.
According to the Chinese state media Xinhua’s report, Xi said in a letter on Jan. 4 to Sarah Lande, a friend of his in the U.S. state of Iowa, regarding his plan to invite 50,000 young Americans to China on exchange and study programs in the next five years.
On January 10, Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, again mentioned the programs in their reply to a Chinese New Year greeting card from teachers and students of the U.S. Lincoln High School, encouraging their participation in the exchange and study programs in China, reported Xinhua.
However, U.S. scholars warned that the latest exchange programs are turning American youths into Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agents.
They cautioned that such free trips are by no means a normal study-abroad experience of another culture such as France or Japan, its main purpose is “clearly to cultivate attitudes favorable to CCP China among young Americans,” read the article.
The article introduced the visit itineraries which include routine arrangement of ancient Chinese culture and cuisine, a visit to the Tesla factory, National Gene Bank, modern metropolises and the large-scale construction projects that deceive the students to believe the rapid development and superiority of the Communist social system, while keep the students in the dark about the cruel side of the authoritarian state such as the multitude of surveillance cameras, concentration camps, suppression of religion and human rights, and ignorance of pollution, substandard living and poverty among majority population.
Through the “host” Chinese students, the American students bonded with them quickly and even “unsuspectingly” downloaded the notorious Chinese social media, WeChat app, some were “even invited to study and consider future work in China,” said the article.
The authors said, “The CCP wants more such student visitors, with all accepting the CCP’s narrative, that Xi”s dream of China’s global dominance is harmless, its actions against the world order and democratic values and its extensive human-rights violations all benign.”
It is believed that the American youth have become Xi’s brainwashing target. The program aims to cultivate Xi’s future supporters with the CCP’s ideological and emotional cultivation to instill so-called “red genes” and turn the innocent American youth into “unwitting mere tools for its authoritarian model,” said the article.
The authors reminded the institutions planning these trips to be aware the trip destination is not China, but “CCP China, a place where one Orwellian party controls all,” and strongly urged the students to be fully informed with pre-trip training from the American perspective in subjects such as current status of and reasons behind the deterioration of the U.S.-China relations, the CCP’s purpose in sponsoring such trips, the human rights issues, the extensive surveillance of the populace, the security risks of WeChat, and so forth.
In the end, the authors warned, “The values of democracy and freedom that America defends are now under comprehensive CCP attack.”
On Saturday, Cai Xia, chief editor of Yibao, a renowned scholar of political party and ideology, said on social media platform X, that the CCP has adopted such tactics on the African nations.
She said the CCP has been investing heavily in bringing numerous young students from African nations to China. These individuals are provided with generous living allowances, and Shandong University even goes so far as to assign three Chinese female university students to each African student as “study partners.”
“This strategy employs both financial incentives and sexual allurements to groom new agents for the CCP within African countries,” she wrote.
Presently, Xi’s plan to bring 50,000 American youths to “experience China” within five years aims to “start with the young,” seeking to identify and cultivate CCP agents in the United States.
She urged the American public to “remain extremely vigilant about this and not let the CCP’s deceit blind their children’s eyes and poison their hearts.”
