This document, page 14 of a House Oversight report, details Chinese government strategies to influence the U.S. Congress following the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. It describes secret high-level US diplomatic trips to Beijing that angered Congress, and China's use of 'united front' organizations and operatives like Jimmy Wong to cultivate personal relationships. The text contrasts China's focus on person-to-person influence with the methods of Russia and the former Soviet Union.
