The Spin

Republican narrative

Mikie Sherrill accepted over $65,000 from Pin Ni, a CCP member barred from foreign citizenship and prohibited by U.S. law from giving to campaigns. Pin’s ties to CCP networks illustrate how Beijing infiltrates American politics, universities, and even illicit industries to advance its agenda. By taking his money, Sherrill ignored both the law and the serious national security threat it poses, showing terrible judgment from someone who should understand the CCP's dangerous influence operations.

Democratic narrative

While Republicans raise alarms over donations from an alleged CCP-linked donor, Mikie Sherrill has spent her career defending Americans from threats like the CCP and the fentanyl epidemic it fuels. As a former U.S. Attorney, she exposed China’s role in opioid trafficking, saving lives and strengthening national security. Meanwhile, Jack Ciattarelli made millions creating propaganda for opioid makers, downplaying addiction risks and profiting from the devastation as New Jersey families suffered.

Pro-China narrative

Pin Ni’s support reflects his commitment to fostering U.S.-China collaboration through institutions like the China Institute and the China General Chamber of Commerce. For decades, these organizations have advanced cultural exchange, education, and responsible business ties between the two countries. Far from nefarious, their work strengthens mutual understanding, equips Americans to engage with China thoughtfully, and highlights the benefits of cross-cultural cooperation for communities across the United States.
