Queens Assemblyman Ron Kim has come forward with explosive allegations of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in New York’s political landscape.
The Korean-American politician claims that CCP-affiliated groups attempted to unseat him in the recent Democratic primary, raising alarm bells about foreign influence in local elections.
Kim, who narrowly won his primary battle in the 40th District by just 443 votes, told New York Post reporters, “There were clear patterns of foreign influence trying to dictate the outcome of the election — groups with ties to mainland China and the CCP.”
“They were trying to steal the Flushing seat.”
The assemblyman’s revelations come on the heels of a high-profile arrest that has sent shockwaves through New York’s political circles.
