The US State Department announced on Wednesday (28th) that the Washington-based "China Peaceful Reunification Association" (hereinafter referred to as the Peace Reunification Council) was listed as a foreign mission.
Secretary of State Pompeo stated that the China Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification is controlled by the United Front Work Department of China and conducts external propaganda and malicious influence operations in the United States, so it has decided to list the organization as a foreign mission.
Lu Wenduan, chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of the China Association for the Promotion of Peaceful Reunification and vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, said in an inquiry from "Hong Kong 01" that the relevant actions were only directed at the Peace and Reunification Association in Washington and had no impact on the Hong Kong Reunification Association.
Lu Wenrui emphasized that the Peace and Reunification Council is only a non-governmental exchange organization, criticizing the US for no reason to regulate, and the practice is unnecessary.
