Can there be any doubt about overt Chinese Communist Party (Chicom) influence in the US political class, especially among Democrats? Here are some examples of that corruption.
The father of Democrat-Chicom corruption could be Bill Clinton. The Chinese own the Clintons! There were all kinds of Chinese cash donations to them in the 1990s. Remember Chinagate? “The scandal was an apparent scheme by the Clinton administration to sell seats on taxpayer-funded trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the 1996 Clinton-Gore campaign.” Those details are reported here. Even Wikipedia has the gory details on Chinese meddling ($$) in the 1996 election through campaign finance “irregularities” on behalf of Bill Clinton. Here’s the shortlist of illegal campaign contributions:
Still don’t believe China owns the Clinton’s? Fast forward to their opening of an “independent Chinese foundation” in 2014 – and the receipt of $750K for speeches from a “Chinese business group and an entity controlled by the Chinese government,” as reported here.
Then there are senior California US Senator Dianne Feinstein’s longstanding ties to China, as detailed here. Feinstein and her husband Richard Blum have gotten rich in their dealings with the Chicoms as further detailed here.
Next, we find that Paul and Nancy Pelosi have been cashing in with the Chicoms for a long time, too. I suspect few Americans know of the relationships. For example:
Paul Pelosi does not just buy and sell commercial real estate. He doesn’t just cash in on his wife’s influence and privileged status. He invests, and much of that investment is in Asia generally and China specifically.
Nancy Pelosi has long condemned the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs to foreign countries by American corporations. But the Pelosi’s investment portfolio contains no investments in any domestic manufacturing companies. Instead, it has extensive holdings in dozens of companies such as Cisco, Sun Microsystems, Apogee Networks, and Netclerk that outsource jobs and have non-unionized workforces.
According to her 2011 financial disclosure statement, Pelosi received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from Matthews International Capital Management LLC, a group, which brags about its “singular focus on investing in Asia.” Paul Pelosi was listed as one of the Directors of Matthews International Capital when it was formed in 2010. Funds managed by the company include the Asian Growth and Income Fund, the China Dividend Fund, the Pacific Tiger Fund, and the China Fund.
There is much more about the Pelosi’s dealing with Communist China in that article! But Pelosi’s corruption goes even further. We also find that her staffers are revolving door lobbyists for the Chicoms, as reported here.
