A little more than a year to the crucial 2021 election, in July 2020 the then ruling party in Zambia, the Patriotic Front received thousands of face masks from China, to fight COVID-19. This, as argued by a community activist who has connections with the youth ranks in the PF, was used by the PF as cover to hold campaign rallies under the pretext of distributing face masks.

PRC is politically engaged in Afghanistan on all fronts, focusing on building relations with all parties in Afghanistan. Any senior Chinese visit to Kabul involved touching base with the Palace, the Karzai camp, the Abdullah camp and discretely the armed opposition (or Hekmatyar or whoever was up and down at any moment). So rather than not engage, they engage everybody.

According to Art. 7 in Political Donations Act, citizens, juridical persons, associations or other institutions in or mainly composed of the members of the citizens, juridical persons, associations or other institutions of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macao, are not allowed to make political donations in Taiwan. The recent cases against the laws are: 1. In 2019, a retired army officer for accepting illegal political contributions from Hong Kong. Retired lieutenant general Luo Wen-shan was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, for taking illicit political donations between 2008 and 2012. The court said part of the contribution was used to buy newspaper ads favoring then-presidential candidate Ma Ying-jeou. 2. Zhang Xiuye and Chou Ching-chun, the members of pro-unification group Patriot Alliance Association were charged for accepting political contributions of more than 1 million NTD from China in 2019 and 2018.

Servel (Chile´s national electoral service) has data available about the donations for political campaigns and candidates. According to the news report from link #3, in 2015 a special government commission proposed to end corporate donations to electoral campaigns, to prevent politicians from being captured by economic interests. The suggestion became law. Today only contributions from “natural persons” are allowed, not companies. Before 2015 it was possible to make donations under anonymity, leaving huge quantities of money without a clear source. Now corporations cannot give donations, but individuals can. Local media identified the biggest donor of the last election, among them were well-known representatives from the economic elite of Chile (link #4). No mention of foreigners. Considering the huge amount of document is possible that there were donations from other countries, but more time and staff is needed to review that data.

Polish political parties cannot receive funds from any legal persons and from physical persons that are either foreign citizens or Polish citizens with permanent residence abroad. There could be some minor donations from the Polish citizens of Chinese origin but as of author’s knowledge they did not have any significant impact on the elections. Chinese diaspora in Poland is limited in numbers and has marginal if any influence on Poland’s political life. In 2020, neither national election nor country-wide local elections were held, therefore there was no election campaign.

Moldovan legislation bans the financing of parties and electoral candidates by foreign entities. The electoral authority did not report any violations of this law by PRC-connected entities. Journalistic investigations have only revealed hidden money flows from Russia to Moldova pro-Russian parties, but nothing about the PRC

No supporting evidence found online. Based on the evidences of influence the influence measure could be 3 as CPP’s hold is highly important to PRC to fulfill its strategic goals and investment in the country. In order to put in power its closest ally, which is loyal, CPP must have been receiving support from PRC especially during the time of elections by pledging support in building ring-road in Phnom Penh, providing soft loans etc. Chinese ambassador participated in the political rally by CPP, Hun Sen in which PRC rep participated as a guest. The influence measure could be changed based on these info but record of donations is difficult to find online. Link Link Link In countries like Cambodia, Chinese entities have established enduring corrupt links with leaders, achieving a level of “elite capture” that ensures CCP interests will be protected at the highest levels of the Cambodian government
