I tell you multiple religious groups in South Korea do the same thing
It is not a new feature of the recent Chinese government
It is embedded in the variations of the Confucianism that the Chinese and North and South Korean governments spread through their education system and media and this variation of Confucianism is found in so called Christian Churches in South Korea even though it is incompatible with Old and New Testament Christianity
@shortstories This was not about missionary work or evangelization. This was how the CCP puts agents in other countries to *monitor* the behavior and communication of Chinese Nationals who reside in other countries. Perhaps there are "religious" elements in the philosophy of use, of this tactic.
The Unification Church Infiltrated Japan's Government. Now Its Sights Are Set on the U.S.
"It owns the Washington Times newspaper, the UPI news wire, the New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan, a ballet company, and True World Foods, the single largest supplier of fresh fish to the American sushi industry. According to U.S. intelligence reports, it helped fund third-world coups. It courts leading Republicans and Democrats with events promoting conservative causes."

It is not so much that most candidates are moonies but moonies influence candidates
There are also University groups funded by China to support Chinese culture in the U.S.A. that are used by the Chinese government to have power over the U.S.A.
They like to send in people on student visas to control things
But it always traces back to Confucianism which promotes blind faith in the Chinese or North or South Korean government
Confucianism teaches corrupt practices to cover up corruption of authority figures and do whatever authority figures say
So the Chinese, South Korean and North Korean governments took confucianism and any other religion they could get their hands on and kept the parts that when quoted could be used to support blind faith in and blind obedience to authority figures
All governments do the same to religions
But confucianism is the purest form in that if you took all the other mind control cults in the world and took what they have in common you would end up with Korean Confucianism
