From the Daily Mail: Tim Walz had a secret fling with the daughter of a high-ranking Communist official during his 1989 teaching stint in China, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Jenna Wang, 59, claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his poky staff accommodation at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province.
The lovers could not risk holding hands or showing affection in public because Wang’s dad was a high-ranking figure in the Chinese Communist Party who would disown her for fraternizing with a westerner.
But their romance blossomed behind closed doors as they sipped tea, made love and listened to George Michael hits – leading the then 24-year-old Wang to dream about marriage and a new life in the United States.
No proposal was forthcoming from the future Minnesota governor, however, and the same of being treated ‘like a prostitute’ eventually left Wang feeling angry and suicidal, she claims.
“We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn’t happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim’s behavior was very selfish,” Wang told the Daily Mail.
The report explains that Wang, a highly educated English language teacher at a middle school, was attending one of Walz’s lectures to improve her pronunciation of the English language when he first began flirting with her.
Walz, then 25, reportedly removed her headphones and whispered into her ear, “You are very beautiful.”
When Walz returned to the U.S. in the summer, he wrote letters to Wang, filled with stories about his life and teaching job in Nebraska. When he instructed her to send a passport photo and information about herself, she did so, thinking he was going to secure a U.S. visa for her.
Wang even resigned from her teaching job when Walz returned to China in 1992, believing she was about to return with him to the U.S. and start a new life. She finally confronted him about their future, and he accused her of being more interested in a US passport than marriage.
“This was very offensive. I said to him that it is both or nothing,” Wang explained, adding, “Knowing now that he wasn’t going to marry me made me feel cheap and common, as if I was being treated like a prostitute.”
That’s when she broke it off with him, and said she never saw him again. She now lives in Europe, and is a mother of one.
The Daily Mail notes that the next year, in 1993, Walz started organizing summer trips to China for students in Nebraska and Minnesota. In 1994, he married Gwen Whipple.
Wang admits that she and Walz did exchange a handful of friendly messages over Facebook in 2009, and discussed the direction their lives had taken.
As to why she’s coming forward now, Wang said, “Tim lied about Tiananmen Square and he’s lied about other things. This is a very crucial moment in history and a man like this does not appear to have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) responded to the report Monday afternoon, writing on X, “If the story today in @DailyMail is true Tim Walz had a relationship with the daughter of a high ranking Chinese Communist Party official and remained in contact with her for years after. If you aspire to be Vice-President of the United States, voters deserve to know everything about any and every link you have to the CCP.”
