Pennsylvania state Sen. Doug Mastriano, a Republican, has voiced strong concern over the Chinese Communist Party’s growing campaign of transnational repression and criticized a Chinese flag-raising ceremony to be held in front of Philadelphia City Hall later in September.
During a visit to the Magnolia Women’s Center in Philadelphia on Sept. 13, Mastriano said the repression campaign of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has extended beyond China’s borders.
