China’s secret grip on Boston: CCP proxies apparently infiltrate City Hall
Hidden foreign ties linked to US nonprofit may pose a threat to the city.
Chinese Communist Party members have reportedly managed to infiltrate a U.S.-based nonprofit embraced by one East Coast mayor's administration.
The Boston Urban Forum, an organization that states it is "dedicated to nurturing community cohesion and development," hosts a monthly public meeting at Boston City Hall.
'China has installed hundreds of CCP proxies in every major city across America.'
However, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found that the forum, which "invites officials and professionals from political, academic, and business sectors to discuss municipal policies and livelihood issues," has hosted speakers identified as CCP members for at least half of its events.
A DCNF translation of Chinese government and university reports found that of the 10 events hosted at Boston City Hall since the BUF's founding in 2024, at least eight CCP-affiliated moderators or guest speakers attended five of them.
The organization's website states that its monthly forum was established "with support from the City of Boston."
Further, it notes that its co-founder, Gary Yu, "joined Michelle Wu's campaign for Boston Mayor in 2020 as the Chief Asian Community Liaison Director" after "recognizing the need for [the] Asian Community to be more active in politics."
The DCNF reported in April that Yu helped Wu's campaign raise over $300,000.
The news outlet also previously revealed that Yu is listed as an official of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, which federal authorities have warned "was a CCP organization used to influence overseas Chinese."
