Tim Walz Hit With Brand New Investigation

The U.S. House Oversight Committee has just launched an investigation into the troubling links between Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, and Communist China.

Before becoming Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz worked as a high school teacher in China. After marrying his wife, the pair honeymooned in China. And, he visited China every single year from 1996-2003.

Years after returning to the U.S., he set up an organization that sponsored student trips to China funded by the Chinese government. He says that these trips were provided in order to foster a peaceful relationship between the U.S. and China.

However, it now appears that these trips might not have been so innocent and that Walz’s relationship with China goes much deeper than what he wants you to think.

Congressman James Comer, chairman of the U.S. Oversight Committee, is leading an investigation into Walz’s position at a Chinese institution with deep devotion to the Communist party, alongside his travel sponsorships which are believed to have been aimed at planting anti-American sentiment in the minds of young people.

The New York Post has more information:

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz’s “cozy” relationship with Communist China is being probed by a Congressional committee, The Post has learned.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability are investigating Walz’s connection with government officials in the Asian adversary nation over nearly four decades.

In a letter to the FBI Friday, James Comer (R-Ky), chair of the committee, requested “documents and communications” related to the Minnesota governor’s connections with Chinese Communist Party officials and groups.

“The CCP has sought to destroy the United States through coordinated influence and infiltration campaigns that target every aspect of American life, including our own elected officials,” said Comer in a press statement.

“Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China.”

The probe comes on the heels of a letter sent to the Pentagon Tuesday by Rep Jim Banks (R-In) demanding to know if Walz, a member of the Army National Guard during many of his China trips, had complied with security protocols for members of the military traveling to an “adversary nation.”

“Any individual traveling dozens of times to an adversary nation in a personal capacity while having access to classified information poses an obvious security risk,” the Indiana Republican said.

Walz, 60, first traveled to China in the spring of 1989 to teach high school, arriving when the People’s Liberation Army massacred pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square.

Newsweek added:

House Republicans have announced an investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz over what they say are his “connections” to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

After graduating from college in 1989, Walz, the running mate of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, spent about a year teaching high school in China as part of Harvard University’s WorldTeach program. While in college, he took classes in East Asia studies.

Five years after teaching in China, Walz and his wife, teacher Gwen Walz, spent their honeymoon in China while simultaneously leading two high school tour groups. They later set up a company called Educational Travel Adventures, which organized annual student trips to China until 2003.

While there does not appear to be any personal connection between Walz and the CCP, Republican Representative James Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, said Friday he was opening an investigation into Walz’s “longstanding connections to Chinese Communist Party entities and officials,” a committee press release said.

“Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China,” Comer said in the release.

He continued: “Mr. Walz has visited China dozens of times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders.”

Comer went on: “FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. The American people deserve to fully understand how deep Governor Walz’s relationship with China goes.”
