The findings that the CEO of a company registered as a foreign agent set up an Asian parade raises new questions over Chinese influence operations in the U.S.
What has become an annual parade in mid-town Manhattan for Asian Americans was set up with the blessing of Mayor Eric Adams by the CEO of a company that is a registered foreign agent of China, according to documents obtained exclusively by Newsweek.
Mui identified the new owner as Kwok Ying Shing, the chairman of Shenzhen-based Kaisa Group who is also co-chairman of Sing Tao News Corp. In 2021 Kwok and his daughter, Hiu Ting Kwok, bought over 28 percent of the shares. A co-chief executive officer of the parent group, she is also the director of Sing Tao US's operations and is listed with Mui on the FARA filing. A year later the Kwoks sold half of their shares to a Hong Kong businessman, Karson Choi, Mui said.
