According to Fu, the left is increasingly exhibiting "dictatorial" attitudes both culturally and politically, with the alleged political weaponizing of federal law enforcement agencies as a particularly worrisome example. Having escaped China in 1996 and becoming refugees in the U.S. the next year, Fu founded ChinaAid to provide "a voice for those voiceless persecuted brothers and sisters in China."
In Fu's opinion, the tactics used to crack down on churches during the pandemic both in the U.S. and other Western countries were sometimes straight out of the "Chinese Communist playbook," with former Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's threat to cut off the utilities of homes and businesses that defied California's COVID-19 restrictions as a particularly egregious example. "I saw the governor of California basically proscribe and order the church to shut down and say not only when they can worship, but how. The ways that he threatened to punish those churches and pastors sometimes were word-for-word exactly the same as what the CCP is using against the Chinese churches." Canada has also been engaging in "passive and active persecution" against churches, with police reportedly invading churches during Sunday worship and pushing pastors away from buildings and shutting down the church.

Pastor Artur Pawlowski of Calgary - who escaped Polish communism - has characterized such arrests as authorities enforcing ideology using the same tactics they used to enforce COVID-19 protocols. Big Tech's clampdown on speech in the U.S. is also a trend Fu has witnessed in China, where posts from his organization have been scrubbed from Facebook.

In the report from ChinaAid, it is noted that Christian persecution in China has worsened to a point not seen since the Cultural Revolution and that the government is using the traditional Christian practice of tithes and offerings to trump up fraud charges in an attempt to "financially suffocate" the house churches. According to Fu, the CCP is now demanding allegiance to Chinese President Xi Jinping and is "exporting its repressive tactics" worldwide.

"Suddenly mayors and governors become little emperors. They think their power is above the authority of God and over the church. They want to be the manager of the church, they want to tell you when and how to worship," Fu said.
As a professional journalist, Bob Fu is concerned by the similarities between the tactics of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and those exhibited by the left in the U.S.
"I feel America is descending into a Chinese communist style of governance. The media propaganda is exactly the same as in communist China, where I was born and educated in the trend."
