Jamestown Senior Fellow Matthew Johnson Interviewed by Fox News

Jamestown Senior Fellow Matthew Johnson gave comments to Fox News ahead of his Congressional testimony on September 15, 2026. Johnson spoke on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) efforts to shape American public opinion through American individuals and organizations. This effort obfuscates the Chinese origin of such messaging and creates the appearance of homegrown sentiments against AI data centers. Johnson’s testimony is focused on malign foreign influence and he said “from an American perspective, we want to be sure that it’s Americans who are leading the debate on this issue, not Beijing.”
