Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is revoking visas for agents of China’s United Front Work Department, a Chinese Communist Party department that orchestrates foreign influence operations.

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has long sought to spread Marxist-Leninist ideology and exert its influence all over the world,” Pompeo said in a statement Friday. “The CCP’s United Front Work Department funds and supports overseas organizations to spread propaganda and coerces and bullies those who would oppose Beijing’s policies.”
