Breaking: CCP Operative Threatens Pastor, Others in USA

Faith McDonnell on September 30, 2020

On Monday, September 28, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) operative publicly threatened the life of the Rev. Dr. Bob Fu. All of us who believe in religious freedom and human rights need to speak out.

Fu, the founder and president of China Aid, is a former prisoner of faith in China and outspoken activist. In May he became an Adjunct Senior Fellow for Religious Freedom in China here at IRD. And just this past weekend he spoke at The Return, a globally-viewed gathering for repentance and revival that took place on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

Moments before Dr. Fu went to the podium at The Return to pray on behalf of the Christians in China and the nations, he received shocking news. Chinese Communist thugs were surrounding his home in Texas, harassing his wife and children. He asked the tens of thousands in attendance at The Return to pray for his family. And he asked God to transform China into a “mission-sending” nation and to bring Communist leaders to repentance.

I sought out Fu after he finished speaking. I discovered that in addition to intimidating his wife and children, the thugs slandered him. They brandished signs declaring — ridiculously — that “Bob Fu is a Fake Pastor” and “Bob Fu is Responsible for COVID-19.” Fortunately, the police dispelled the Communist agents swiftly. And fellow church members brought comfort to his family.

But the threat was not over. Monday I received word about disturbing, threatening videos against Fu and others. These videos came from Chinese Communist Party agent, Guo Wengui, aka Miles Kwok. It was he who sent thugs to Fu’s home.

Guo is a Chinese billionaire businessman who fled from China to the United States in 2014. He was accused of bribery, fraud, and money laundering. Guo uses his large social media following on YouTube, Twitter, and his personal website to incite and encourage violence against leading critics of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). One of his tactics is to turn around and name these freedom fighters as CCP agents, thieves, and traffickers! These include human rights activists and prominent members of the Chinese diaspora.

In videos on September 27 and September 28 Guo threatens Fu again. Guo also threatens many other Chinese former dissidents and freedom fighters. He threatened some leaders of Tienanmen Square who now live in the United States. One he threatened was Pastor Zhang Boli, still on the CCP’s “Most Wanted” list.

In the video on September 28 Guo addresses Fu directly. He boasts that some “100 or 200 operatives” are coming to his house. This intimidation, violence, and slander geared towards confusion and misdirection are the kinds of tactics that the Chinese Communist regime employs against those who dare to speak out about the human rights violations it perpetrates.

Many in the West have emboldened the CCP in recent years. Large, powerful entities such as Disney, the NBA, Big Tech, major U.S. banks, and others have consistently acquiesced. So the CCP believes it can even control Chinese Americans. . . in America! This needs to end!

Please pray for Bob and his family. Pray also for all the other Chinese heroes slandered and threatened by Guo and the CCP. In addition to prayer, you may wish to:

  • Join us in the statement below. To sign, please indicate so with your name, city, state in the comment section for this article.
  • Urge the United States government deport this Chinese operative.
  • Inform YouTube that Guo uses his channel to issue death threats and intimidation. We hear over and over how YouTube warns or shut downs conservative and Christian YouTube channels. Let’s see if social media will not have a double standard for once.

    I fully stand and support my friend Bob Fu and Wu Jianmin.

    “Ultimately, threats of violence posed to Chinese human rights activists are cowardly and immoral regardless of who makes them. They ought to be strongly opposed wherever they arise. Family Research Council stands in support of Bob Fu, and defenders of human rights everywhere fighting for a better future for the Chinese people.”-

    In the past three years, Guo Wengui has organized a large number of supporters to participate in cyberbullying activities. Now he is harassing and intimidating those who criticize him all over the world, including continuously framing the respectable pastor Bob Fu and threatening his family at home, which is no different from a terrorist organization. The United States should not become a place to hide dirt, and it is recommended that Guo Wengui be repatriated.

    Kwok is an overseas fighter of the CCP. He organized gangs under the banner of anti-communism to encircle and suppress overseas anti-communist democrats. He was doing things for the CCP. I strongly urge the US government to expel Kwok from the country.

    My name is Baosheng Guo and I am a US-citizen. I live with my wife Lili and our two daughters in Gainesville, Virginia, one of them is Fourteen and the other is 7 years old. I am a media commentator and a Chinese dissident.

    I am a U.S. citizens who immigrated from the People’s Republic of China to the Western democracies to escape Communist Party repression. In the past weeks, My family and my house have been bullied and harassed by mobs organized by Steve Bannon and his partner, who goes by Miles Guo (also Guo Wengui ), who is known to be an agent of China’s secret police. Guo has applied for political asylum in the United States in 2017 under false pretenses. Because I reported the fraude criminal about Wengui Guo, Jiao Bingshang,Steve Bannon and “the New Federal State of China” , they installed a huge harass and bully movement to me and my family.

    The Trump Administration must help American citizens and Chinese American residents here to be free from the terrorism of the CCP. Those who make threats or harrass our citizens, our legal residents, and our guests must be expelled. Guo Wengui must be stopped.

    I stand with Bob Fu and all Chinese dissidents, and I pray for their safety. May God convert China. We pray that the Lord frees China from this great evil, and that Bib and his family continue to have the courage and ability to demonstrate their faithfulness to the Lord.

    Hello, Faith, et al. I was volunteering at the BGEA 2020 Prayer March when I passed by The Return just before Pastor Fu had his time. I was particularly impressed with his prayer and remarks. I stand in solidarity with him, IRD, and other Christians and Americans who face threats, censorship, violence, and removal of rights from various entities including big tech and social media. I support the deportation of Guo/Kwok and his CCP thugs. Put my name on this list. Laura B D Mullins, Fairfax, VA 22030
