Tim Walz’s China Obsession Is Worse Than You Think

Posted by Geoffrey Clarfield from Western Journal

Vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz has a variety of troubling obsessions, but none so disturbing as his deep and abiding affection for communist China.

Long before the Democratic Minnesota governor was pushing for tampons in boys’ bathrooms or running the gay-straight alliance for teenagers, he was waxing poetic about the People’s Republic of China as a nation where “everybody shares,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Walz allegedly told this and other disturbing lies to students at the Nebraska public school where he taught social studies in November 1991.

The lesson was on the Chinese Communist Party’s system of government that has caused mass starvation, poverty, and death, including forced abortions demanded by its one-child policy — which was the law of the land as recently as 2016.

Still, Walz was in love with the totalitarian government and its ability to level the playing field — disregarding the fact that it did so by making everyone equally miserable, as communism inevitably does wherever it’s tried.

This lesson came just after he had spent a year in China as a teaching fellow beginning in 1989.

Walz was still in the afterglow of “being treated like a king” in the Communist nation, where he arrived just months after the Tiananmen Square Massacre when thousands of Chinese citizens were murdered by their government.

“No matter how long I live, I’ll never be treated that well again,” Walz gushed to the Nebraska Alliance Star-Herald in 1993.  They gave me more gifts than I could bring home. It was an excellent experience,” he said.

“In 1994, Mr. Walz set up a private company named ‘Educational Travel Adventures, Inc.,’ which coordinated annual student trips to the [People’s Republic of China] until 2003, and was led by Mr. Walz himself,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Comer also noted other troubling facts, including that Walz “served as a fellow at the Macau Polytechnic University, a Chinese institution that characterizes itself as having a ‘long held devotion to and love for the motherland” while he was a member of Congress.

Walz has consistently used his time and positions in American government to advocate for the CCP government and its causes, which points to a danger of the foreign government’s “influence in his decision-making as governor — and, should he be elected, as vice president.”

At a time when communists are intent on infiltrating our government, it’s risky to have Walz perfectly positioned to become a valuable asset should he and Vice President Kamala Harris win in November.

Financial ties arguably have corrupted the current administration, but Walz is far more dangerous because he loves the Chinese Communist Party as well.

There are many reasons to vote against the Harris/Walz ticket in November, but the vice presidential hopeful’s decades-long infatuation with the CCP might very well be number one.
