Local media have uncovered that one of woke Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s top fundraisers has deep ties to the Chinese government. Gary Yu sits as the co-chair of the New England Chinese American Alliance, which raised $300,000 for Wu’s mayoral campaign, and was also listed under another name as a member of the United Front Work Department, a front for CPP intelligence.
For context, Michelle Wu is the Democratic mayor of Boston who has become infamous for her woke policies. Not only is Boston a sanctuary city, which means it will not cooperate with ICE to deport criminal migrants, but it has also passed ordinances to ban plastic bags and promote radical gender ideology, and other far-left causes.
In any case, the House Select Committee on the CCP described United Front, which Gary Yu is a member of, as a highly complicated Chinese intelligence operation. They said, “United front work is a unique blend of engagement, influence activities, and intelligence operations that the Chinese Communist Party uses to shape its political environment, including to influence other countries’ policy toward the [People’s Republic of China]and to gain access to advanced foreign technology.”
Adding additional context, the committee revealed the details of this scheme. Its statement said, “It is carried out by an extensive and well-documented network of organizations operating in parallel to the People’s Republic of China’s foreign ministry and intelligence services that seeks to influence universities, think tanks, civic groups, other prominent individuals and institutions, and public opinion broadly.”
As we reported, Mayor Wu was one of four woke democratic leaders who testified before Congress about the impact of sanctuary cities. During an interview with Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) on March 5, 2025, the pair clashed over Trump’s immigration policy. Donalds began his questions by asking, “You lamented earlier that there were ten to eleven buses coming per day to your city. Did you ever talk to Joe Biden about why this was happening to your community?” Wu replied strangely by blaming the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, for her obvious failure.
Interjecting, Donalds said, “Why would you reach out to Governor Abbott of Texas? …Joe Biden, the former commander in chief, that opened up our borders. Why didn’t you talk to him?” Sheepishly, Wu replied by deflecting responsibility. She said, “Well, our buses were directly being sent from Governor Abbott in Texas. So that was why we reached out to say we’re happy to collaborate on a coordinated entry system. We understand no one state or no one city should bear the entire brunt of this, but let’s collaborate.”
Seeing the Boston Democrat was cornered, Donalds pounced. He retorted, “I’m glad you said that, because that brings me to my next point, Governor Abbott and Governor DeSantis, when they started moving illegal aliens out of their states who were bearing the brunt of what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were doing, and they’ve sent them to Denver, they sent them to Chicago, they sent them to to New York, they sent them to Martha’s Vineyard.”

Concluding his demolition, the Republican savaged Michelle Wu. He stated, “The reason why they did that is because you four could hide, hide behind the realities of illegal immigration on border towns all through our country and on cities and states who did not want to see illegal immigration but did not have the political representation to go to the White House, and only when it showed up on your doorstep did you get upset.”
