The China Association for International Friendly Contact (CAIFC) is a united front organization subordinate to the Liaison Department of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission.[1][2][3] CAIFC was founded in 1984 and is active in overseas influence operations to promote the interests of the Communist Party of China.[4][5][6][7][8] According to a 2018 report by the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission, CAIFC "performs dual roles of intelligence collection and conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns."[9] CAIFC's vice president is Deng Rong.[10]

CAIFC operates an affiliated think tank called the Center for Peace and Development Studies.[11][12]
