    There’s a huge Chinese diaspora that could be used to fund a PAC that advocates for China’s interests.

    Yeahno, that’s ridiculous. The Chinese diaspora is hardly in step with the China. Have you met these people? Over 20% of San Franciscans are Chinese, and virtually none of them care about the interests of the Chinese state.

    This kind of nonsense is how we ended up with Japanese internment camps during WWII.

      You only need a few to funnel a bunch of money to an organisation like this, it’s not like AIPAC is super popular with American Jews either. I was using China as an example, but any country could basically do it. You could take India as another example, Modi definitely has his share of fans abroad.
