Blog Post: Harris’ Running Mate Has Deep Ties To Communist China
As we have documented, Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris has her own troubled history favoring Communist China; she cast the deciding vote to give billions to Chinese battery companies. Then the Biden-Harris Administration wrote a special exception in federal rules to allow U.S. taxpayer money to flow to the Chinese Communist Party until at least 2027.
But that’s not all, the Harris-Walz ticket has even more troubling ties to the Chinese Communist Party, and the media has been slow to report Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz’s deep connections to Beijing.
With the VP debate coming up on Tuesday, October 1, American voters deserve to know the facts about Walz’s ties to Communist China:
Governor Walz is currently under investigation by the House Oversight Committee for his extensive ties to the Communist Chinese government.
Walz has a long history of working with the Chinese government and by his own admission has been to China “around 30 times.”
Walz was a fellow at the Macau Polytechnic University in Macau, China.
In 1989, Walz was selected to teach American history and English in Southern China by WorldTeach. He spent a year teaching in Southern China as one of the “first government sanctioned groups of American educators,” starting the school year “shortly after the Chinese army crushed pro-democracy protests centered on Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in June 1989.”
In 1993, Walz led a contingent of 26 students from Alliance High School in Alliance, Nebraska on a trip to China, with the University of China pitching in on expenses such as rooming, food, tuition, and transportation.
Walz had spent the summer of 1992 in China, where he discussed the idea of bringing American students on a trip to China with a friend who worked at the University of China.
The student group received an “open letter of invitation” instead of having to go through the National China Service like most visitors, meaning they had more freedom to travel independently.
In 1994, Walz started a company that organized annual student trips to China until 2003.
Walz even spent his honeymoon in China.
Walz spoke glowingly of his time in China, saying, “No matter how long I live, I will never be treated that well again.”
In total, Walz has traveled to China roughly 30 times and doesn’t believe that “China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship.”
In 2019, Walz headlined the US-China Peoples Friendship Association national convention alongside the president of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, a group that the State Department has described as “a Beijing-based organization tasked with co-opting subnational governments” that “has sought to directly and malignly influence state and local leaders to promote the PRC’s global agenda.”
In March of this year, Walz met with Chinese Consul General Zhao Jian and “exchanged views on China-U.S. relations and sub-national cooperation.”
