Chinese Intelligence Infiltrated LA Mayor Bass’ Team

An official in Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ administration is the son of a Chinatown powerbroker and Democratic donor who has praised the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and works with foreign intelligence agencies, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

Adam Ma has held multiple positions in Bass’ office, his LinkedIn profile states, and now serves as both the city’s liaison for Asian-Americans and director of commission appointments, according to the Los Angeles government website. His father, who raised tens of thousands of dollars for Bass’ mayoral campaign, previously lauded the Communist Party for creating a “strong China” and is listed as an official by multiple arms of a Chinese government influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

“If China didn’t have the CCP, there’d be no strong China today, overseas Chinese compatriots send the highest praise and admiration to the CCP,” Adam Ma’s father, Ma Shurong, said in July 2021 to commemorate the Party’s 100th anniversary, according to a DCNF translation of a Chinese government announcement.

“The Communist Party’s UFWD has, in fact, penetrated Karen Bass’s office,” Gordon Chang, China expert and author of “Plan Red: China’s Project To Destroy America,” told the DCNF. “There is a high probability that, wittingly or unwittingly, she is implementing Chinese Communist plans to take down our country. She may be a loyal American, but she has almost certainly become a danger to America.”

Bass, Adam Ma and Ma Shurong did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
