Westcol como le va preguntar al Chino si los carros de BYD se pueden blindar JAJAJA


The US invests more than a trillion dollars a year in wars. China invests in technology, hospitals, high-speed rail, schools, teachers, new universities, roads, and its people. Which do you prefer?


Members of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America have been cultivating ties with officials of the CCP and agreeing to take pro-China positions. Minutes of DSA’s internal meetings show participants discussing contacts with officials from China’s ruling party in the name of "anti-imperialism," with some members saying the organization should avoid topics that are sensitive for Beijing, such as China's threats to invade Taiwan, its security crackdown in Hong Kong and abuses of the Uyghur Muslim minority. They also discuss visits to China. Chinese officials did not take part in the meetings themselves but met with members in China and encouraged the DSA to set up exchanges. "China wants to interface with the DSA," one New York-based political activist told a meeting on Oct 8 last year of the China Working Group of the DSA's International Committee, which helps set policy and advises leaders. "If we develop a killer two-week itinerary, hire locals, and develop further connections with the CPC [Communist Party of China], then we're golden," says the person, whose name is redacted. Mamdani was not recorded as being present at any of the meetings minuted. Although Mamdani has been a longstanding member of the Democratic Socialists, he has distanced himself from elements of the group’s national platform. He has also not made extensive public comments on China. Mamdani’s victory in the mayoral election last year highlighted the rise of the Democratic Socialists as a political force and particularly in New York, where China has long sought to influence the leadership of a city with one of the largest Chinese populations outside China. It has used lobbying and campaign donations from dozens of local groups linked to the CCP. While the minutes of the DSA meetings do not indicate any wrongdoing, they do raise new questions over the extent of Chinese influence within the group and more broadly in the US. They are also an indicator of how the CCP seeks to build ties with influential political groupings in the US. The DSA’s website describes the group’s New York chapter as “Zohran’s political home” and says his victory would not have been possible without it. "The materials document a sustained pattern of ideological alignment, narrative filtering, and network overlap consistent with influence conducted at the discursive and organizational level.” Asked about contacts between the DSA, Mamdani's administration and the CCP, Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C.: "Local exchanges and cooperation are the important component of China-US relations, serving as the foundation, vitality, and source of strength for the relations between the two countries." 📍 Dozens of Documents The dozens of internal documents go back to 2021. They include a detailed slideshow of an Aug 2025 visit to Guizhou and a trip by members to Xinjiang, apparently in 2023. The minutes show members of the China Working Group, led by Anlin Wang, discussing strategy and debating with members of like-minded groups such as Code Pink and the Britain-based Friends of Socialist China. "Anti-imperialism should be at the forefront of everything we do in DSA," says one member at a meeting in May 2021. In a meeting in June 2023, Wang comments: “I think one thing we would like to see is robust internationalism / anti-imperialism." Also in June 2023, members praise what they say is a Code Pink tactic of avoiding discussion of politically sensitive Communist Party policies. On June 12, 2023, the minutes show that Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans briefed the Democratic Socialists on her organization's "China Is Not Our Enemy" (CINOE) campaign and advised the group: "Stay out of the weeds. Focus on points that are easier to sell.” One of those is poverty alleviation programs in China, with the minutes showing the DSA group planning events to communicate that in the US. 1/n newsweek.com/mamdani-china-…
