“Lu Jianshun supported fundraising efforts for Adams through his role as the president of America Changle Association, an organization based in Manhattan’s Chinatown that caters to overseas Chinese from the Changle district of Fuzhou, Fujian province in China,” the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) found.
“America Changle’s leaders include an individual identified by the Chinese government as both a ‘propagandist’ and ‘special liaison officer,’ as well as individuals who take direct orders from a CCP propaganda and intelligence agency known as the United Front Work Department,” DCNF added.

As WeLoveTrump previously reported, China has one of their “overseas police service stations” in New York City.
Trudeau Allowing China to Open Secret Police Stations in Canada??
Not only has the Chinese regime sent spies to the U.S. and managed to plagiarize confidential information and intellectual property, but it has now also set up a “police service station” located in New York. https://t.co/kdmEiKy4Cr by @SabrinaMartinR.

Cont. from Daily Caller:
Lu and America Changle have worked closely with the United Front Work Department (UFWD), the DCNF found based on a review of Chinese state media and government sources. The UFWD is a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) agency tasked with running influence operations and monitoring overseas Chinese communities, according to a 2018 report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.
The UFWD “seeks to co-opt ethnic Chinese individuals and communities living outside China” and plays “an increasingly important role in China’s broader foreign policy” under General Secretary Xi Jinping, the report states.
America Changle has maintained close contact with and taken instruction from UFWD officials during video conference calls in recent years, according to multiple Chinese-state-run media sources.
For example, both America Changle President Lu Jianshun and its former chairman Lu Jianwang received orders from the UFWD on how best to respond to the COVID-19 virus during one March 2020 video call, according to U.S.-based Chinese-language outlet icitynews. During the call, the deputy minister of the UFWD for Fuzhou instructed America Changle to guide the overseas Chinese to wear masks, wash their hands and increase communication with their China-based counterparts, a state media outlet for overseas Fujianese reported.
Zhang Zikuo, former chairman of America Changle, took part in the March 2020 video conference and replied to the UFWD deputy minister by saying their organization would “comply” with the Chinese government’s request and increase safety measures, according to the state-run outlet.
One year later, in March 2021, Lu Jianshun, Lu Jianwang and others held another video conference with CCP members and UFWD officials who acknowledged America Changle’s role in planting a UFWD “liaison office” in Manhattan, according to a report from the official news organization of China’s Fujian province.
