The CCP Threat to the Civilized World
The numbered NFSC Speaks episodes: how the CCP reaches into law, finance and politics beyond China.
2026.11.10 (EP86) The law became a weapon. But who wielded it? Miles Guo identified Bruno Wu Zheng as a key enforcer, accusing him of orchestrating 30 lawsuits and coordinating media attacks.
In December 2018, Wu registered under FARA and disclosed the Charhar Institute—a Chinese think tank that carried out annual assignments for the CCP’s United Front Work Department (UFWD).
Guo exposed Charhar as an intelligence front staffed by Chinese diplomatic, military intelligence, and state-security operatives, linking it to the CCP’s “Shanghai Gang.” A handful of kleptocrats. The machinery of an entire state. The coordinated offensive extended beyond American courtrooms—into American streets.
View on GETTR2026.11.09 (EP85) A kleptocratic fortress needs legal muscle. In 1992, Beijing officially opened China to foreign law firms as CCP elites exploited economic reforms to loot public wealth. Western lawyers helped structure deals. Then came scandals. More lawyers. More fees. Even the cleanup became a business.
Jho Low’s $4.5 billion 1MDB scandal exposed the machinery: illicit campaign contributions, secret Washington lobbying to derail DOJ proceedings—and pressure to deport Miles Guo to China. Guo’s American court battles revealed the darkest shift: from shielding stolen wealth to weaponizing the justice system against the regime’s enemies.
View on GETTR2026.11.07(EP84) They commit crimes in plain sight, fearing nothing.
The CCP’s kleptocrats never won a vote. Where does their power come from? Joint ventures, Western investment, marriages into powerful Western families, heirs abroad. They borrow legitimacy and buy credibility, access and influence. Behind the scenes runs the same dark machinery: bribery, BGY and blackmail. Guo identified four targets where they spend the most: the UN, the media, medical and scientific research, and the judiciary.
It looks like a fortress. It’s a house of cards, propped up by Western politicians, CEOs and institutions. Without the Chinese people's consent, the regime is hollow at its core. Pull out the cards, and it falls.

View on GETTR2026.11.06 (EP83) Jho Low's blackmail of an American lawyer exposed a far bigger question: Who held the power behind him?
Miles Guo exposed that $20 trillion stolen from the Chinese people was hidden overseas, with its whereabouts known to just four powerful families.
Imagine the global reach of such concentrated wealth—and the powerful relationships it could cultivate across Wall Street, Washington, and beyond. From Kissinger and Clinton praising Zhu Rongji to Ray Dalio calling Wang Qishan a “classic hero,” Western elites openly celebrated the CCP kleptocracts.
When enormous wealth meets political power and elite connections, who holds the kleptocrats accountable for robbing the Chinese people and people around the world?
View on GETTR2026.11.05 (EP82) BEIJING'S BGY PLAYBOOK: BLACKMAIL THE LAWYERS. CONTROL THE OUTCOME.
In 2019, Miles Guo exposed a blackmail operation targeting an American lawyer involved in a dispute over New York's Park Lane Hotel, purchased with stolen 1MDB funds. Surveillance footage. Intimate secrets. Family bank records. Offshore accounts. Guo described how compromising material was weaponized to force the lawyer to abandon a case Jho Low’s interests—and ultimately serve them.
From legal adversary to captive advocate. Guo's warning went far beyond one lawyer: Beijing's strategy is to compromise Western judicial gatekeepers, turn their influence into leverage, and weaponize the justice system. How many remain under Beijing's influence?
View on GETTR2026.11.04 (EP81) $4.5 BILLION STOLEN. ONE GLOBAL NETWORK. WHO ENABLED IT?
Jho Low’s 1MDB scandal spanned at least 16 jurisdictions. Dozens of banks. Countless transactions. Miles Guo exposed the CCP kleptocratic machinery behind the heist—from compromising Malaysia’s leadership through BGY to laundering stolen wealth through shell companies and layered transfers.
The recurring pattern? LAWYERS. LAW FIRMS. Hundreds of millions of stolen funds flowed through American lawyers' trust and escrow accounts.
In 2017, another $41 MILLION entered a former DOJ employee’s attorney escrow account—a partial payment for Miles Guo's successful deportation back to China.
View on GETTR2026.11.02 (EP80) Western financiers convicted. Western lawyers shielded by legal privilege.
In 2023, a Guo supporter sued O’Melveny and Stuart Sarnoff, demanding FARA registration. Case dismissed. Plaintiff and lawyers sanctioned. Yet in 2018, Kobre & Kim registered under FARA for advising Jho Low, whom Guo exposed as CCP kleptocrat Meng Jianzhu’s illegitimate son, implicated in the $4.5 BILLION 1MDB scandal. Two Goldman Sachs bankers faced criminal convictions.
The issue isn’t defending foreign clients. It’s whether legal privilege shields foreign influence and stolen public wealth.
Where does legal representation end—and foreign influence begin?
#FreeMilesGuo #TakeDownTheCCP
View on GETTR2026.10.30 (EP79) Chinese Public Wealth. Western Intermediaries. Private Fortunes.
In 2006, O’Melveny client Avenue Capital bought distressed loans from state-owned China Cinda (中国信达), part of a reported $1 BILLION buying spree at steep discounts.
Who set the prices? Who pocketed the profits? Miles Guo exposed what he described as a CCP kleptocratic scheme: Label valuable public assets “nonperforming”; sell them cheaply to Western funds; funnel the wealth offshore to CCP kleptocrats’ illegitimate children.
CCP kleptocrats. Western financiers. American law firms. The connection? O’Melveny’s Stuart Sarnoff oversaw Asian investments at Avenue Capital prior to joining O’Melveny, then represented PAX/PAG against Guo, the man exposing the very system.
View on GETTR2026.10.27 (EP78) How deeply has Beijing penetrated the American judiciary? Follow Miles Guo’s legal battles - and see just how far the weaponization of American justice has gone.
After exposing CCP kleptocracy, Guo faced a relentless legal offensive in U.S. courts. PAX v. Kwok began in April 2017. More than 70 lawsuits followed—a campaign aimed to destroy him and crush his movement.
After the 2021 GTV-SEC settlement, $455 million in GTV investments entered a years-long refund process, leaving thousands of supporters waiting. Some in China faced detention, persecution, or death. Others feared claiming refunds. By 2022, a scheduled PAX jury trial had been postponed and never held.
View on GETTR2026.10.24 (EP77) How American law firms build influence across government? From the White House and DOJ to Congress and federal courts, American law firms extend their reach through alumni networks and the revolving door between private practice and government.
Take O’Melveny & Myers. Its network exceeds 5,000 alumni, including nearly 50 judges and over 430 government officials. These relationships endure long after lawyers leave the firm.
Miles Guo warned that U.S. law firms operating in China became pipelines for Beijing’s influence over America’s justice system. Could Beijing exploit these networks—and how deeply could its influence penetrate America’s most powerful institutions?
#FreeMilesGuo #TakeDownTheCCP
View on GETTR2026.10.23 (EP76) American law firms didn’t just help Beijing navigate rules; they helped shape them.
Former DOJ official Chad Mizelle warned of national security risks from U.S. law firms’ CCP ties, citing Latham & Watkins’ support for ELI, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit focused on environmental law and judicial education.
In 2019, O’Melveny & Myers proposed changes to China’s Foreign Investment Law and helped develop corporate governance templates alongside Latham, Chinese law firms, and state-owned giants.
From shaping Beijing’s rules to helping implement them.
Miles Guo warned that American law firms helped Beijing "deceive America". How far could that influence reach into America’s government and justice system?

View on GETTR2026.10.22 (EP75) How American law firms help Chinese giants navigate U.S. markets and national security barriers!
Miles Guo exposed one snowflake on the iceberg of CCP kleptocracy. Behind it: corporate giants, global finance, and American law firms. O’Melveny & Myers, which pursued Guo, helped BGI acquire U.S. genomics firm Complete Genomics for $117 million—a deal that required CFIUS clearance. The firm also represented Alibaba and BYD. The Pentagon listed BGI as a Chinese military company in 2022, followed by Alibaba, BYD, and Complete Genomics in 2026.
Beyond corporate deals, American law firms also influence legal and regulatory policies affecting both U.S. and CCP interests. Whose interests come first?
View on GETTR2026.10.21 (EP74) HKICIM: FOLLOW THE MONEY BEHIND CCP KLEPTOCRACY!
Sold to HNA. Pledged to PAG. Bought back by Blackstone.
In 2016, Blackstone sold Tysan Holdings to HNA, which renamed it HKICIM. Miles Guo identified HKICIM as a key player in what he described as Wang Qishan’s money-laundering, fraud, and insider-trading network, involving Tianjin Bohai and nearly 60 listed companies. In 2018, HNA pledged 41% of HKICIM to PAG Holdings. Weeks later, Blackstone invested in PAG. In 2019, Blackstone bought control back for about $900 million.
Guo warned: What he exposed was just one snowflake on the vast iceberg of CCP kleptocracy.
View on GETTR2026.10.20 (EP73) HNA. PAG. BLACKSTONE. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Miles Guo identified Wang Qishan as a central figure in a CCP kleptocratic network looting China and moving wealth overseas.
The playbook? Seize public assets through financial restructuring. Use public wealth to buy Wall Street influence and build overseas money pipelines.
2007: Just before Blackstone went public, Beijing invested $3 billion in the firm. Simpson Thacher, Judge Ostrager’s former firm, advised on both the IPO and Beijing's investment.
HNA: Guo’s primary target.
PAG: Manager of PAX, the fund suing Guo.
Blackstone: Linked to Ostrager’s former firm and pension interests.
One Hong Kong-listed company connected all three: HKICIM. #FreeMilesGuo #TakeDownTheCCP
View on GETTR2026.10.19 (EP72) Blackstone. HNA. PAG. PAX. Isolated conflicts or a vast network of influence?
In 2017, Miles Guo exposed former CCP anti-graft czar Wang Qishan for using HNA to loot China, launder fortunes overseas, and entangle Western elites. Following Guo’s revelations, HNA faced mounting scrutiny in China and abroad before entering bankruptcy restructuring. But who structured its global financial empire? Behind the offshore funds, billion-dollar deals, and acquisitions stood powerful banks, American law firms, and connected insiders.
Did those same connections play a role in the lawsuits against Guo? Follow the money.
View on GETTR2026.10.17 (EP71) Judge Barry Ostrager knew when to recuse himself. But did he apply the same standard in Miles Guo’s cases?
In 2021, Ostrager withdrew from a Blackstone-related case over financial ties through his former law firm, Simpson Thacher.
Yet in Guo’s PAX case, he stayed. Blackstone acquired a stake in PAG, PAX’s investment manager—a deal handled by Simpson Thacher.
Then came Pangu’s lawsuit against Alibaba and BBMG, alleging that a CCP kleptocratic network seized its property through a sham online auction facilitated by Alibaba, another Simpson Thacher client.
Ostrager stayed again and dismissed the Pangu case.
One judge.
Three cases. Two involving Guo. Two different recusal decisions. Why?
View on GETTR2026.10.16 (EP70) Why did Edward Moss join Cahill? The court never asked. Judge Barry Ostrager disqualified Cahill from representing PAX but expressed “utmost respect” for Moss’s integrity, calling him “an exceptional advocate.”
In October 2021, Guo dropped a bombshell: He accused Moss of engaging in sexual misconduct involving young girls alongside former CCP justice minister Fu Zhenghua in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
Was CCP influence behind Moss’s move to Cahill? Remember Beijing’s “political trust”—not built on integrity, but on weakness and leverage. Judge Ostrager praised Moss’s integrity. Guo saw through the mask.
View on GETTR2026.10.15 (EP69) When does coincidence become a pattern? Miles Guo challenged Edward Moss’s move to Cahill, the very firm holding GTV’s confidential information Beijing wanted.
GTV demanded answers. Cahill never responded. Instead, Cahill defended Moss, arguing PAX wasn’t targeting GTV, even though Moss had previously called Guo and GTV “inextricably linked.” No notice. No conflict waiver. Ethical safeguards arrived late. Then, on December 6, Cahill exposed GTV’s privileged information on the public docket for over 14 hours, calling it an “inadvertent filing error.”
First, the CGI–Duowei mystery. Then Moss’s move right after the SEC settlement. Then another exposure. Why did PAX’s lead lawyer land inside the firm holding GTV’s secrets?
View on GETTR2026.10.14 (EP68) Cahill held GTV’s confidential financial records, corporate information, and private communications—exactly what Beijing wanted. In late 2020, GTV’s banking records mysteriously surfaced in PAX’s judgment enforcement demands. Investigator CGI pointed to a secret Chinese source, then a CCP-linked Duowei blog. GTV demanded answers. Judge Ostrager denied discovery.
On October 14, 2021, Cahill announced Moss as a partner, one month after GTV’s SEC settlement. Five days later, Moss appeared as PAX’s attorney, at the very firm that had represented GTV.
Moss changed firms. Not sides. He kept pursuing Guo, from inside GTV’s former law firm.
View on GETTR2026.10.13 (EP67) Beijing’s unrestricted legal warfare targeted the GTV platform. As other social media platforms censored COVID-19 and vaccine debates, Miles Guo and supporters of the Whistleblower Movement used GTV to spread the truth.
Researchers exposed a massive CCP-linked smear campaign targeting Guo and his warnings: COVID-19 is a bioweapon and don't take COVID vaccines. Court evidence pointed to Beijing’s efforts to trigger U.S. investigations through coordinated complaints against GTV’s fundraising.
But GTV survived, settling with the SEC in September 2021. Then came another twist: PAX lawyer Edward Moss left O’Melveny for Cahill Gordon & Reindel, a firm that had represented GTV.
View on GETTR2026.10.11 (EP66) Miles Guo warned of Beijing’s infiltration of American justice. Then he put everything on the line. His fortune. His family. His freedom. Armed with intelligence from whistleblowers inside China, Guo confronted Edward Moss, then an O’Melveny & Myers partner representing PAX, a PAG subsidiary fund.
October 3, 2018. Under oath. Guo accused Moss of “working for the communists” and “helping the mafia.” In a second deposition, Guo declared: The lawsuit was fake. The documents were forged. PAX was working for the CCP. Moss kept pressing. And what happened next would raise more questions about Moss and O'Melveny’s pursuit of Guo.
View on GETTR2026.10.9 (EP65) Beijing’s most dangerous assault on American justice wasn’t hacking. It was the corruption of legal power.
Miles Guo exposed former CCP justice minister Fu Zhenghua’s network of persecution, extortion and money laundering, revealing how foreign lawyers helped move stolen wealth. The consequences of complicity? Vulnerability. Blackmail. Control. But American lawyers don’t stay in China forever. Some return to U.S. law firms. Others enter government agencies, courts and corporate boardrooms. What happens when lawyers compromised by Beijing become American judges, prosecutors or government officials?
View on GETTR2026.10.8 (EP64) Beijing turned foreign law firms into a gateway to America’s justice system. After hackers breached Clark Hill, Miles Guo asked: How many American secrets had Beijing already stolen? Guo warned that U.S. law firms hold America’s most sensitive information: privileged communications, defense records, corporate secrets, and litigation strategies.
But hacking wasn’t Beijing’s only route.
Guo revealed that CCP-connected lawyers inside major Western firms already provided Beijing with access to sensitive information. No hacking. No stolen passwords. The access was already inside.
Guo called it “the real robbery of American intelligence.”
View on GETTR2026.10.7 (EP63) What happened to law firms that took Miles Guo on? After Guo fled China, lawyers handling his cases in Hong Kong faced detention, raids, threats and hacking.
In America, Boies Schiller and Clark Hill became the first two targets. Guo revealed documents tied to CCP bribery bearing Boies Schiller’s sign-off. Clark Hill, handling his asylum case, was hacked, confidential files were stolen, and 500+ computers were locked. Guo said the hackers contacted the firm directly, demanding: drop Guo and surrender files kept offline. One week later, Clark Hill withdrew. This wasn’t just an attack on Guo, the CCP’s “Public Enemy No. 1.” It was a war on America’s justice system.
View on GETTR2026.10.6 (EP62) Foreign law firms made billions in China. What happens when that dependence reaches America’s justice system?
Since 2017, Miles Guo, known as the CCP’s enemy No. 1, has told his story. His first obstacle: top U.S. lawyers agreed to represent him, then suddenly cited “conflicts.” In his UBS case, his team approached 70 firms. Not one took it.
Guo’s explanation: buy the conflict first. Guo revealed that HNA, which owned by CCP kleptocrat Wang Qishan, retained dozens of elite U.S. firms after he began exposing Wang and his network.
The retainers didn’t just buy lawyers. They bought their unavailability.
View on GETTR2026.10.5 (EP61) What does “political trust” really mean inside the CCP’s power network? According to Miles Guo, it wasn’t built on integrity. It was built on leverage. He described roughly 2,000 lawyers at foreign law firms concentrated across Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, working, living and socializing in environments that made them easier to monitor.
First came temptation: Money. Sex. Drugs.
Then the loyalty test: do the CCP’s dirty work.
Guo called it the CCP’s “BGY” playbook: Find the weakness. Feed it. Record it. Own it. The goal: turn compromise into leverage—and leverage into predictable behavior under pressure.
View on GETTR2026.10.4 (EP60) $30 BILLION in legal fees. And that was just the beginning. According to Miles Guo, foreign law firms competed for a massive CCP-linked business machine that handled $4–5 TRILLION in assets every year through IPOs, acquisitions, offshore structures, and cross-border deals. Beijing could sweeten the pot with shares, equity and under-the-table deals, pushing the value to $100 billion or more.
So who got the prize? Not the cheapest firm. Not the best lawyers. The deciding currency was political trust.
View on GETTR2026.10.3 (EP59) Paul Hastings partner Jia Yan’s trail leads to the CCP’s top echelon. At Fudan, his debate-team adviser, Wang Huning, went on to advise Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping and now sits on the Politburo Standing Committee. Then comes the Jiang family. One of Oriental DreamWorks’ backers, SAI, was run by Jiang Zemin’s son, Jiang Mianheng.
Miles Guo called them “kleptocrats.” A 2019 complaint filed by Guo family-owned Pangu revealed that the Jiang family amassed over $1 trillion and linked Wang Qishan to the network. When power and wealth merge, they decide who manages the money and who profits from protecting it.
View on GETTR2026.10.1 (EP58) Paul Hastings was among the foreign law firms expanding in China, but access came on the CCP’s terms. By 2012, 174 foreign firms operated there, nearly half American. They faced government approval, registration, supervision and strict limits on practicing Chinese law. By 2002, Beijing moved to inspect legal work, finances, taxes and Chinese staff.
The bargain: comply, keep access, make money. For firms chasing state-linked clients and billion-dollar deals, political connections mattered. At Paul Hastings, one name surfaced across CMC transactions: Jia Yan, a CCP member who later became Shanghai chief representative.
View on GETTR2026.9.29 (EP57) Hollywood thought it was entering China. The CCP state apparatus was building influence inside Hollywood. At the center: China Media Capital (CMC), founded in 2009 by Li Ruigang, who rose from Shanghai state media to senior Party leadership.
In 2012, Li left his Party posts. Deals accelerated: Raine. Time Warner. Fox. IMAX. Warner Bros. Imagine. CAA. Hollywood saw money, access and growth—and relied on CMC’s political connections.
The trap had another layer: American law firms rewarded for building the bridge. More deals. More clients. More fees. One firm kept appearing beside CMC: Paul Hastings.
View on GETTR2026.9.27 (EP56) How did Beijing turn Hollywood into a tool of its “socialist cultural power” push, without making it look like a state takeover?
One route: state-backed; the other: private, commercial, Western-facing. On Feb. 17, 2012, DreamWorks unveiled a $330 million China venture, with state-linked and state-owned Chinese partners CMC, SMG, and SGI jointly holding 55%. Earlier that same month, Bruno Wu and Henry Zhao announced an $800 million media fund, presenting a private-facing alternative that soon entered ventures with major Hollywood names.
State-backed or private-facing. Different packaging. Same hand on the wheel.
