I'm John Bachelor. Gordon Chang at Gordon G. Chang with me, and we're very pleased to welcome our friend Charles Burton of synopsis to comment on a story recently at Fox News. China's American Mao. Inside Singham's blueprint to quote wage war for a new world order. This reads something like a novel from the 1930s, but it is not. Neville Roy Singham.

I'm welcome Charles, and the puzzle that came to me immediately, because I didn't recognize

the name, have I missed an important piece of reading? Charles, who is Neville Roy Singham,

who may or may not fancy himself as the American

Mao? Good heavens. Good day, too, Charles. A good day. Well, I mean, Mr. Singham was extraordinarily

Anyway, he's working out of Shanghai. Clearly, everything that he's doing supports the overall purposes of the Chinese Communist Party,

which, as I've argued in a piece that Gordon is producing, has a primary foreign policy of subversion, not diplomacy.

And the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department, which is the agency designed to

try and bring diverse elements throughout the world, influence operations and other subversive means

to support the purposes of the Chinese Communist Party, has a larger budget. The party's United

Front Work Department has a larger budget. The parties, the United Front Work

Department has a larger budget, more personnel than the entire Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

So, you know, China's idea is through use of sophisticated algorithms and social media and

through trying to shape discourse and subvert policymakers through various forms of

bribery, some subtle, some not, attempts to try and subvert the United States from within.

And Mr. Singham is doing something slightly different, which is that he's giving the money

directly. The Chinese Communist Party's approach is largely focused on undeniability, on deniability and
