The Chinese foreign ministry spokesman stated in response to questions for comment on the declaration “To these absurd statements, to this farce, I don’t have any interest in commenting”.[6]

In late July 2020, during the forced closing of the Chinese Consulate in Houston by the United States government, protesters critical of the People's Republic of China gathered outside of the consulate with flags of the New Federal State of China.[7] Guo Wengui claims to have invested US$100 million in the movement. The source of funds for the movement is under investigation by the FBI.[8]
