On 11/29/18 a group of leading experts on China and American foreign policy released their report documenting Chinese efforts to influence American society and call for "constructive vigilance." 

The report, which examines China's efforts to influence American institutions, including state and local governments, universities, think tanks, media, corporations, and the Chinese-American community, differentiates between legitimate efforts, -like public diplomacy [JB emphasis], and improper interference, which demands greater awareness and a calibrated response.
