Xiaohui Yu & Associates and Its Connections to Chinese Military-Linked Biotech PLA

Law Offices of Yu & Associates, led by Xiaohui Yu, operates in Washington D.C. with a focus on international business, immigration, and cross-border legal services. While the firm’s public-facing work emphasizes corporate compliance and legal advisory for Chinese clients entering the U.S., the actual scope of Yu’s collaborations suggests a far more sensitive role with potential national security implications. 

Notably, the firm advises JOINN China (昭衍新药), a Chinese biotech firm whose leadership includes personnel with People’s Liberation Army (PLA) backgrounds.

Yu was officially appointed Senior International Advisor to Beijing Interlaw Consulting Co., Ltd. (北京绿山律师事务所) and its partner platform. Interlaw is a Beijing-based law firm with deep connections to Chinese state institutions, including the CCP’s Political and Legal Affairs Commission (政法委). Cooperation between a U.S.-based lawyer and a CCP-aligned Beijing law firm is unlikely to be limited to routine compliance.

The Political and Legal Affairs Commission is responsible for domestic surveillance, suppression of dissent, and enforcement of CCP priorities. Its operations have been shown to extend beyond China’s borders, targeting dissidents, journalists, and activists abroad through a combination of legal, financial, and social pressure. U.S. federal authorities have previously indicted or sanctioned operations linked to such cross-border suppression.

The combination of CCP-linked law firms and U.S.-licensed advisors raises multiple potential risks:

Assistance in avoiding U.S. sanctions for Chinese entities.

Legal and operational advice facilitating cross-border suppression or influence campaigns.

Leveraging Chinese diaspora networks for monitoring, reporting, or influencing individuals critical of the CCP.

Providing a legally shielded conduit for CCP priorities under the cover of commercial or educational programs.

This is not mere speculation: similar operations have been documented by U.S. law enforcement and open-source reporting, involving political pressure, surveillance, and threats against dissidents abroad.
