From the Executive Summary of the report (Page 9):

INTRODUCTION
The United States and Europe increasingly agree that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) poses significant political, economic, and even security challenges. Legislators and parliamentarians on both sides of the Atlantic have played an active and leading role in shifting approaches to meet these challenges. The next step is to turn this growing agreement into a constructive and concrete transatlantic agenda to defend shared interests and values. This report puts forward concrete ideas for collaboration in six key areas: • Fending off malign political influence, • Protecting the integrity of international organizations, • Addressing anti-competitive trade and economic practices, • Investing in future technologies and shaping how they are used, • Confronting the security implications of the PRC’s strategic investments in energy, transport, and digital infrastructure through “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR), and • Invigorating partnerships in Africa and the Indo-Pacific.

POLITICAL AND CULTURAL INFLUENCE
Since Xi Jinping took over as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 2012, the PRC has undertaken extensive operations to manipulate the information space to its advantage and legitimize the Party’s authority on the global stage. The PRC, alongside its affiliated entities, leverages its vast economic resources to coerce universities, think tanks, the media, and local and national politicians to accept the CCP’s narrative by punishing criticism and rewarding support. Democracies have begun to realize the threat this coercive influence poses to free and open societies and have taken actions to protect themselves. However, there is much more the community of democracies should do to push back on the PRC’s malign influence. This includes: • Combatting disinformation, • Strengthening transparency structures, • Developing independent expertise on China, and • Establishing codes of conduct to inoculate institutions from all malign influences, including from the PRC.

I believe @Jumpin Jack Flash is the PRC's representative here on BC. Any thoughts on this, Jack?

I haven't noticed anyone even remotely with the intelligence to represent the PRC on Brown Cafe.

However, there are several LibTurds on here that repeat the beliefs of the PRC and obviously would be happy to live in a society where individual freedoms are not supported or even recognized.

Since 2005, Trump has applied for at least 130 trademarks in China. In February, in its first major real estate transaction after Trump’s inauguration, the Trump Organization sold a $15.8 million penthouse apartment in Trump Tower to Chinese-American business executive Xiao Yan Chen, who also goes by the name Angela Chen and has been directly linked to a front group for Chinese military intelligence through the misleadingly innocuous-sounding China Arts Foundation. A 2011 congressional report was quite blunt in labeling the China Arts Foundation as “a front organization for the International Liaison Department of the People’s Liberation Army’s General Political Department.”

Your purchase of goods made in China does more to support the PRC than Trump selling real estate to a Chinese national.
