Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Reporter Philip Lenczycki outlined his findings about Chinese Communist Party (CCP) activity in Nebraska during a state senate hearing Wednesday.

Omaha, Neb., is one of seven United States cities where Overseas Chinese Service Centers (OCSCs) are operated by the United Front Work Department, an intelligence service of the CCP. Lenczycki told state lawmakers on the Nebraska legislature’s Government, Military, and Veterans Affairs Committee during a hearing on LB644 that the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) hosted personnel from the OCSCs in the past.

“The Party has historically leveraged espionage and irregular warfare to outmaneuver much larger opponents, and it now aims to supplant the U.S. as the world’s superpower before the 100th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China in 2049,” Lenczycki said. “Toward this end, the Chinese government wages a whole-of-society People’s War against the West utilizing both witting and unwitting, cooperative and co-opted proxies.”

“Unfortunately, the Cornhusker state is also in China’s crosshairs, as evidenced by multiple entities operating in Nebraska under the control of a Chinese intelligence service called the United Front Work Department,” Lenczycki said.

The presence of such centers has been a concern since the FBI raided a similar station in New York operated by the America Changle Association in January 2023. The Justice Department indicted two individuals on multiple charges in April 2023, alleging that they helped the Chinese government harass citizens who were overseas.

“In addition to their United Front ties, there is also evidence indicating all Overseas Chinese Service Centers cooperate with China’s civilian police authority, the Ministry of Public Security, and reports show at least some branches outside the U.S. likewise moonlight as unsanctioned police stations and courts within their host countries,” Lenczycki told the committee. “In 2018, Overseas Chinese Service Center leaders from around the world — including Omaha — met with CCP, United Front, and Ministry of Public Security officials in China. During that trip, participants visited a Chinese police department, where officers demonstrated how certain centers in the network secretly host satellite police stations and courts overseas.”

The Justice Department also accused MPS of engaging in harassment campaigns and other forms of intimidation to compel dissidents to return to China in a 2022 indictment and a 2020 complaint.

“Communist China presents an unprecedented and existential threat to the U.S., and the aforementioned entities are but a few operating in Nebraska on behalf of the Party,” Lenczycki told the committee. “Representatives of this great state, which has enshrined ‘equality before the law’ as its motto, should do everything in their power to prohibit the importation of the CCP’s repressive practices and shadow justice system.”
