Does The Chinese Communist Party Have A “Ground Game” Ongoing In Georgia To Defeat Herschel Walker?

Does the Chinese Communist Party have a “ground game” ongoing in Georgia to defeat Herschel Walker?

A November 15, 2022 article entitled “U.S. midterm elections: Georgia’s “play-in” to determine the final Senate map – How Chinese can seize the critical moment,” published on the Chinese language website of the BBC, described how the Chinese in Georgia are organizing to defeat Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker in the upcoming run-off election.

According to that BBC article, Xiao Yu, who has helped several Chinese people run for office in Georgia and organized Chinese electioneering in the 2020 presidential election, is mobilizing Chinese to participate in the second round of the ballot in support of Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock.

Soon after arriving in the United Sates in 1990 to attend the University of Miami, Xiao Yu co-founded and was a board member of the Chinese Association of Science, Education and Culture of South Florida (CASEC), whose goals include “to strengthen the ties between the local Chinese community and China” and to “promote and preserve Chinese culture” in the United States.

In 2016, the CASEC Chairman, Zhang XueFeng sent a New Year’s greeting to the Chinese Communist Party:

“On behalf of the Chinese Association of Science, Education and Culture of South Florida, I would like to wish our great country prosperity and prosperity! Peace to the people and the country! South Florida Chinese are connected to the people of the motherland by heart, looking forward to direct flights with the motherland and economic take-off, let’s work for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!”
