From the Daily Caller: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, welcomed Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials into his Nebraska classroom while working as a teacher in the 1990s, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.
In February 1996, a delegation of three “educators” from southeast China visited Walz’s Alliance High School social studies class “to study the education system,” according to an unearthed Alliance Times-Herald article. However, the delegation included CCP officials who at the time worked for an institute serving a Chinese influence and intelligence agency, according to a DCNF review of Chinese government records.
Walz’s longstanding relationship with China has come under increased scrutiny following Vice President Kamala Harris’ August selection of the two-term governor as her running mate. Media reports have since revealed Walz not only misrepresented key details about his China travels, but also appointed a member of a political faction loyal to the CCP to Minnesota’s executive branch.

“Governor Tim Walz’s documented relationships with Chinese Communist Party affiliated entities and officials bears hallmarks of a CCP infiltration and influence campaign,” @RepJamesComer told the DCNF.
During a weeks-long tour of U.S. schools, the three members of the Chinese delegation stopped at the rural Nebraska high school where Walz taught social studies, and where he and his wife had been running a program taking students to China.

The Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education where the three members of the delegation worked — or had worked previously — is listed as a member unit of a Chinese influence and intelligence service, Chinese government records reveal.
“The Communist Party’s United Front Work Department has been grooming, wooing, and romancing Tim Walz for four decades,” China expert and author @GordonGChang told the DCNF. “We cannot allow our enemy to take over the core of our government.”

A report from Minnesota Public Radio revealed that Walz was not in Hong Kong in May 1989 as the Tiananmen Square protests were intensifying as previously claimed. Walz called himself a “knucklehead” and admitted he “misspoke” at the CBS VP debate.
Walz has also attended several events organized by members of a CCP intel-tied nonprofit in recent years the DCNF reported.
