Fox News
A new group has launched to combat Chinese Communist Party influence in the United States, particularly among state and local governments, Fox News Digital has learned.
"States are now on the front lines against foreign adversaries. In fact, for years states have been targeted by well-resourced, technologically sophisticated foreign adversaries, particularly communist China," State Armor founder and CEO Michael Lucci told Fox News Digital in a statement.

"The Chinese Communist Party is engaged in a broad effort to supplant the United States so it can rewrite global norms according to its authoritarian model," Lucci said. "To achieve its goals, the CCP aggressively pursues a strategy to gain economic leverage over state and local governments, to make states dependent on their technologies, and to suppress the First Amendment-protected speech of Chinese dissidents within America."
