China puts targeted sanctions on the State of California and Pelosi's donor network. They mimic US language of oligarchs and foreign interference repeated ad nauseum by US media and government. They outline her financial interest in Taiwan and abuse of power to become wealthy during her political career. The PR campaign and heavy sanctions work to politically isolate her from allies and neuter her influence, she's left out to pasture to "Spend more time with her grandchildren" shortly after the election where Democrats get obliterated.
The stupid imperialistic gesture finally ends the reign of one of the worst neo-liberal ghouls of a generation and China stays winning.

That's because China isn't really doing anything. They could probably create a huge foreign propaganda department out of thin air in less than a year if they wanted to, but right now their only propaganda asset is Chen Weihua.
The west never hears from China directly, they never even try to reach foreign audiences. They don't really care what the west thinks and therefore they're letting the US control the narrative entirely unfortunately.
Why would you roll in the mud with the :porky-happy:, when that's their natural habitat?
There's a little bit kicking around, like Li Jingjing.
Congress polls in the single digits, but the incumbency rate is typically over 90%. When push comes to shove, people vote for China with their wallets.
Past that, the US propaganda machine is having a more challenging time exiting the black hole of its own domestic politics. As we waffle from the doctrines of Bush to Obama to Trump to Biden, more and more of our long-term foreign policy is sold off for short-term partisan gains. AIPAC will step in to quash a sanctions bill against Russia because it might hurt Israeli businesses. Apple will kill anything that threatens their supply of electronics out of the Pacific Rim. Nancy will fly to Taiwan, raise a bunch of money, and make a bunch of promises that future Speaker McCarthy has no interest in keeping. Meanwhile, McConnell's wife's Taiwanese-based shipping company will fight any effort that threatens her family fortune.
US Propaganda doesn't work on any of these special interests. It only works to misdirect the accumulated anger and frustration of American domestics against one another. So Americans will grow increasingly hostile to Taiwanese ex-pats for "looking Chinese", while the US policy towards China is sandbagged by all the economic interests that profit from the relationship.

Your mutual aid group just needs a bunch of friendly DC lobbyists behind it.
