Inside The CCP’s Training Program For Communist Party USA Operatives

Are America’s newest communist cadres being manufactured in Beijing?

Jul 30, 2026

Beijing’s foreign-party influence arm hosted a Communist Party USA labor organizer for two weeks of political instruction. Weeks later, he was attacking the AFL-CIO for blaming China and helping devise plans to penetrate unions, workplaces, and election operations.

It is cultivating American communists.

Documents and public statements reveal an organized pipeline through which the Chinese Communist Party identifies American Marxists, brings them to China, immerses them in party doctrine, connects them with senior CCP officials, and sends them back into the United States, where they work inside unions, political coalitions, media outlets, and voter-mobilization operations.

The clearest recent example centers on Cameron Harrison, a Detroit trade-union activist and organizer for the Communist Party USA’s Labor Commission.

In May 2026, Harrison traveled to China as CPUSA’s official representative on a two-week program organized by the International Department of the Communist Party of China, the CCP organ responsible for building relationships with foreign political parties.
