The leader of Ash's Nonviolent Action Lab has participated in Zoom training sessions with Rep. Pramila Jayapal, calling on activists to be "strike ready." 
The Ash Center’s donors include China Southern Power Grid Corp, wholly owned and operated by the CCP, whose management is “directly appointed by China’s central government.”
Further donations come from New World China Enterprises Project, a Chinese company whose board is composed of virtually all CCP members.

The Ash Center ran “China’s Leaders in Development Program” for over a decade.
The program was “widely recognized by the Chinese government as one of the best overseas training programs for government officials.”
“Taught both at Tsinghua University, China, and Harvard Kennedy School, this multi weeks training program is specifically designed to help prepare senior local and central Chinese government officials to more effectively address the ongoing challenges of China’s national reforms."

Several years, members of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corp, which has been identified as an “instrument of repression” against Uighurs by the Washington Post, have joined the delegation.
This group has been sanctioned for “serious human rights abuses.”
What’s more, the program connected CCP apparatchiks with meetings at the U.S. State Department, Food and Drug Administration, and even the U.S. Congress, as the program’s description notes “officials visit local, state, and federal government organizations in the United States.”

The Ash Center has also published pro-CCP propaganda its July 2020 report “Understanding CCP Resilience: Surveying Chinese Public Opinion Through Time”
It contends that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is “as strong as ever” and “under no imminent threat of popular upheaval.” “Chinese citizen satisfaction with government has increased virtually across the board,” it continued.

This report was circulated widely by Chinese embassies, the CCP’s Foreign Ministry, and even state-run media outlets such as China Global Television Network (CGTN), which exploited the study to bolster its narrative the CCP enjoys widespread support.
