Dr. Charles Lee has been selling vacations to American political events for years. The pr release below is an announcement for a trip to invitation to Obama’s inauguration and was posted in January of 2013.
The ad lays out an itinerary for the trip, which includes visits to Philadelphia and New York as well as Washington, DC. Dr. Lee is a United Nations groupie, so the focus of the trip is on going to the UN.
From what I’ve been seeing, like Cindy Yang, Dr Lee arranges his trips to coincide with American events that are already scheduled to take place; but Lee’s promotion makes it appear as if he helped organize the American events. He created the United Nations Chinese Friendship Association, and he also started (what translates to) the UN Congress Network TV and US Congress Network TV, but he organized his own trip. The event organizers listed in his promotion had nothing to do with Lee. Obama’s organization would have gone ahead without Dr. Charles Lee attending.

The announcement was found on the blog of Charles Lee’s assistant, Professor Wang Jiansheng, who has a LinkedIn account listing his own many fabulous accomplishments. You can puzzle over Professor Wang’s LinkedIn page here
The professor’s credentials seem to be real though he seems a bit pompous.
I‘m not sure if Wang and Lee are benevolent and nutty eccentrics with lofty ideas, master con men, or weird secret agents for China.
I imagine Homeland is looking into all this by now.
