   Hundreds marched from Manhattan to Brooklyn Sunday in support of a city   
   councilwoman charged with biting an NYPD deputy chief — with the   
   organizers linked to the Chinese Communist Party.   
      
   The massive march from Foley Square to Cadman Plaza Park backs   
   Councilwoman Susan Zhuang (D-43), who was busted after allegedly biting   
   the cop during a frenzied clash at a protest outside the construction site   
   of a homeless shelter in her district.   
      
   “We urge the government to respect our community,” one protester told the   
   crowd before the march kicked off. “We demand clear and effective   
   communication, such as when adding a homeless shelter in our community.   
      
   “Our community is resilient,” the speaker said. “Support candidates who   
   will stand for our community.”   
      
   Nearly 1,000 demonstrators chanted, “justice for all,” “no more disrespect   
   for the Asian community” and “the government should listen to the wishes   
   of the people” as it kicked off in Foley Square.   
      
   Several in the crowd held up signs reading, “save our community” and   
   “equal justice of Susan Zhuang.”   
      
   A flyer for the event listed as a contact the number of John Chan — who   
   heads BRACE — a non-profit group with ties to the United Front. The United   
   Front is a group of organizations affiliated with the Chinese Communist   
   Party, whose mandate is to spread communism worldwide.   
      
   Chan — also known as Chen Shanzhuang — is a Chinese-born businessman who   
   also runs the American Chinese Commerce Association.   
      
   The Post attempted to contact BRACE and Chan, who did not respond to   
   request for comment.   
      
   Zhuang — who was booked on several charges including assault and resisting   
   arrest earlier this month — has distanced herself from the organizers of   
   the rally, saying while she “appreciates the Asian community’s support”   
   she had “not been part of planning this event.”   
      
   “I am not part of BRACE or its leadership. This Democratic movement to   
   stand up for the rights of the Asian community is the opposite of the   
   CCP,” she told The Post.   
      
   In November, Chan led the charge to deafen the cries of protesters who   
   claimed their relatives had been wronged by the Chinese government, the   
   San Francisco Standard reported at the time.   
      
   Tensions had flared between dueling protest groups as they awaited Chinese   
   President Xi Jinping’s arrival in San Francisco ahead of the Asia-Pacific   
   Economic Cooperation summit.   
      
   A month later the Chinese-born businessman sponsored a small group of New   
   York Republicans, including Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay (R-   
   Pulaski), to visit China.   
      
   According to the Diplomat, Chan sent open letters to members of Congress   
   supporting Beijing’s crackdown on Falun Gong and hosting of the 2008   
   Olympics.   
      
   And to mark 50 years of Chinese communism organized to have the party’s   
   banner flown in Trenton, New Jersey in 1999 and then again a year later in   
   Flushing, Queens.   
      
   While Zhuang has tried to keep Chan at arm’s length — just days before her   
   arrest it was revealed that the councilwoman’s office had tried to solicit   
   donations for BRACE in February.   
      
   The incident was first reported by the Daily News, which cited detailed   
   emails sent from official city email accounts.   
      
   The emails since obtained by The Post invited supporters and constituents   
   to a February Lantern Festival Parade in Sunset Park — which was attended   
   by several elected officials including Mayor Eric Adams.   
      
   “Additionally, we would like to extend an invitation for you to join as a   
   sponsor for the event,” the email continued.   
      
   Zhuang’s office was also contacted for comment about the emails but did   
   not immediately respond.   
      
   She defended her actions during the earlier arrest, saying she was coming   
   to the aid of one protester.   
      
   “Susan Zhuang was a victim that day, she was trying to protect a senior   
   citizen, she was trying to protect you all,” a speaker told demonstrators   
   at the Brooklyn end of Sunday’s march.   
      
   “All of us are here to protect Susan Zhuang,” they said. “We are all   
   protecting the American dream.”
