In the Chinese-American legal community, Attorney Xiaofu Wong and Attorney Ying Wong-Chen have long been regarded as prominent figures and respected leaders. However, a deeper investigation reveals extensive ties between their law firm and the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) United Front system, as well as close associations with official PRC institutions in the United States. This evidence suggests they have functioned as important legal and propaganda instruments for the CCP's operations abroad.
I. Covert Ties to the CCP United Front System
Attorney Xiaofu Wong has held core leadership positions in numerous Chinese-American organizations, including:
-
Director and Chief Legal Counsel of the National Chinese Planning Council of America
-
Legal Advisor to the Hong Kong Association of New Jersey
-
Founder and Chairman of the Sino-American Lawyers Association in New York
Investigations show these organizations maintain close affiliations with the United Front Work Department (UFWD) of the CCP and the All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese—both of which coordinate overseas Chinese communities to promote the CCP’s political agenda abroad.
Wong has also led delegations to the PRC State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, meeting directly with senior officials and positioning himself as a "bridge" between China and overseas Chinese legal networks.

II. Attorney Ying Wong-Chen and the Legal United Front Platform
Attorney Ying Wong-Chen, President of the Sino-American Lawyers Association and financial advisor to NJ State Assembly Majority Leader Linda Greenstein, plays an active role in U.S.–China legal exchanges. While her work appears focused on legal service delivery, the Association she leads has been identified as a key United Front platform in the U.S., frequently collaborating with the PRC Consulate in New York to organize legal and cultural outreach programs targeting the Chinese diaspora.
III. Frequent Participation in PRC Government Activities
Public records show that Attorney Xiaofu Wong has been repeatedly invited to speak at official CCP events organized by institutions such as the Ministry of Justice of the PRC and the Law School of Jilin University. In 2015, he led the "U.S. Chinese Lawyers Delegation" to China and met directly with top officials from the State Council’s Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, signaling his high standing in CCP-affiliated legal diplomacy.
Wong has also served as keynote speaker at PRC Consulate-organized seminars on consular protection and legal education for Chinese students and immigrants in the U.S.—activities often laced with pro-CCP political messaging. His role in these events makes him a key front-line figure in China’s overseas legal propaganda efforts.
IV. Close Collaboration with PRC Consulates
Wong has appeared publicly alongside high-ranking PRC diplomats, including the Deputy Consul General of the PRC in New York, at community events such as Lunar New Year galas—hallmarks of CCP United Front activities. Though Attorney Ying Wong-Chen maintains a lower public profile, she has regularly participated in U.S.-China legal exchange forums involving PRC officials.
V. Legal Warfare and Propaganda Roles
While Wong, Wong & Associates specializes in areas such as transnational trade, IP law, and commercial litigation, there is no public record of the firm taking on cases opposing CCP interests. On the contrary, the firm has represented numerous Chinese individuals and companies, and has acted as a quiet but strategic legal ally of CCP-linked entities.
Attorney Wong has used appearances at official PRC forums to defend China’s legal system and promote its global image. This alignment aids the CCP’s global narrative-building and soft power expansion, consistent with United Front objectives.
📂 Case Study: CEFC and the Biden Family Connection
In 2018, Wong & Wong filed a lawsuit in New York State court against CEFC New York International Holdings LLC, a U.S. shell company affiliated with CEFC China Energy—a firm closely tied to the Chinese military-industrial complex and Chinese intelligence.
CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming maintained business ties with Hunter Biden, and U.S. congressional investigations revealed that millions of dollars were transferred from CEFC to members of the Biden family. CEFC executive Patrick Ho (He Zhiping) was convicted of international bribery in U.S. federal court, and had direct contact with Hunter Biden.
The lawsuit confirms that Wong & Wong provided legal services to CEFC, reportedly in areas including mergers, investments, and corporate structuring. The firm's involvement in this case further demonstrates its position within sensitive CCP-linked operations inside the U.S., potentially even in proximity to U.S. political influence activities.
VI. Conclusion
Attorneys Xiaofu Wong and Ying Wong-Chen are not only leading figures in Chinese-American legal circles but also key operatives in the CCP’s overseas United Front network. Through their roles in Chinese community organizations, participation in PRC state activities, and relationships with Chinese diplomatic missions, they have advanced the CCP’s strategic objectives abroad—serving as vital actors in the Party’s legal warfare, political messaging, and soft power projection within the United States.
