The New York Mets plan to co-host an event with a Chinese Communist Party–tied group this week, after the annual tradition received significant criticism last year, National Review has learned.

The event, “An Evening of Chinese Culture,” is billed as a celebration of Chinese culture, but it is run by the Sino-American Friendship Association, a nonprofit group with extensive ties to Beijing’s influence operations in America.
