Please welcome Frank Vogl, co-founder of Transparency International and author of the book Enablers, which examines people who help autocrats and international criminal organizations hide money.

One CA Podcast—ranked among Feedspot’s Top 10 Foreign Policy podcasts—returns with investigative journalist Sam Cooper interviewing Cheryl Yu of the Jamestown Foundation. Yu shares her groundbreaking research mapping more than 2,000 PRC United Front organizations operating across the United States, Canada, and other democratic nations. Her data-driven work reveals how the Chinese Communist Party builds influence networks abroad, blending legal community engagement with covert political access, technology transfer, and transnational repression.For the Civil Affairs community, Yu’s findings illuminate how foreign influence efforts operate in the human domain—the “last three feet” where relationships shape policy, perception, and security. The discussion explores why Canada shows an unusually high saturation of United Front groups, how seemingly benign cultural associations can be leveraged by the CCP, and what transparency and policy tools democratic governments can use to protect their institutions.One CA is a product of the Civil Affairs Association and features current and former military diplomats, development officers, and field practitioners discussing real-world engagement with partner nations, communities, and leaders. We aim to inspire those working at the intersection of people, politics, and security.To contact the show, email [email protected] or visit the Civil Affairs Association at www.civilaffairsassoc.org.
