Lawmakers and China experts told the Daily Caller they have grave concerns about Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and his close ties with Beijing.
Since Vice President Kamala Harris chose the Minnesota governor as her running mate, he has largely received positive coverage as “folksy,” “joyful” and a “midwestern dad.” But critics have honed in on Walz’s past with China, which includes a honeymoon to the country, a wedding on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre and the praising of the country’s communist system. China watchers believe that Walz’s relationship with China should be of concern as he inches closer to the White House.
“Governor Walz should answer to the American people why he took 30 trips to China, mostly paid for in part or in full by the Chinese Communist Party. But more importantly, Kamala Harris should explain why she supports radical left-wing policies like ending fossil fuels and slashing our defense budget—policies that would be a gift to China,” Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton told the Daily Caller.
