Representative Tom Suozzi (D-NY) was caught paying a Chinese Communist Party agent thousands of dollars to place ads in a Chinese-owned newspaper. Suozzi also happens to be on the House committee currently investigating China’s alleged ongoing genocide of the Uyghurs.
Suozzi declared to the press, “If they are in any way affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, they’ll never get anything from us again. The CCP has tentacles trying to influence the distribution of information and disinformation throughout our society. There’s lesser-known examples like this and [China] has a very sophisticated effort.”

EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) paid thousands of dollars from his campaign to place ads in a Chinese-owned newspaper registered as a foreign agent. However, the House Democrat now claims this was done “unknowingly” and says he is reviewing the cash transfers….
Suozzi, co-chair of a congressional caucus raising concerns over China’s persecution of Uyghur ethnic minorities, made the comments in an interview with the Washington Examiner after the outlet reached out to him with a list of questions about over $7,200 that his campaign dished out in February to a New York-based subsidiary of Sing Tao U.S. The payments to Sing Tao were earmarked under “print advertising” in New York.
That Chinese-owned newspaper was forced by the Biden administration in 2021 to register as a foreign agent engaged in “political activity,” according to records on file with the Department of Justice. The newspaper also reportedly shares ties to the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department, which, according to the U.S. government, coordinates the party’s intelligence gathering and influence operations overseas.
