From Fox News: An official within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told colleagues that Vice President Kamala Harris’ decision to name Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate “feeds into” activities the People’s Republic of China (PRC) were conducting “with him and local government,” warning that Beijing could “target” him to exert influence on U.S. policy.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., launched an investigation in August into Walz’s alleged “longstanding” ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Last month, Comer subpoenaed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for records relating to those alleged connections after a whistleblower notified the committee of the existence of a non-classified Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees, as well as additional intelligence reports that allegedly contained information regarding Walz’s alleged connections to the CCP.
On Tuesday, Comer penned a letter to Mayorkas, making public the fact that DHS has been “unresponsive to the subpoena.”
Now, Comer has unilaterally released a portion of DHS internal communications it received from the whistleblower.
From the House Oversight Committee:
🚨 WHISTLEBLOWER DISCLOSURES ABOUT WALZ’S CCP TIES 🚨
Because of DHS’s lack of compliance with our legal subpoena and unwillingness to cooperate in good faith, @RepJamesComer is releasing a small portion of the Department’s internal communications received from a whistleblower about Governor Tim Walz.
The information shows DHS officials with subject matter expertise discussing the CCP’s targeting of Governor Walz on the same day VP Kamala Harris picked him to be her running mate.
A whistleblower has provided further information to the Committee that indicates officials from DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis and Homeland Security Investigations have been involved in the Department’s investigative and/or intelligence work connected with the CCP, the state of Minnesota, and Governor Walz.

After requesting @GovTimWalz ‘s background investigation form, we learned it has “likely [been] destroyed [due to] retention policy.”
See this thread on Walz’s CCP connections and how he and his appointees have taken positions aligned with CCP goals.

According to @DailyCaller, while teaching in 1996, a team of three “educators” visited Gov. Walz’s classroom.

Later, in government, Walz’s name continued to appear in the context of CPAFFC.
For example, @nataliegwinters discovered schedule for a 2019 event that Walz was to co-headline with Li Xiaolin, then president of CPAFFC

The BBC previously described Li as a “secret envoy” speculating that that Chinese leader Xi relied on Li to conduct back-channel diplomacy due to his familiarity with Li since childhood.
These back-channel discussions occurred under the guise of “cultural exchange”.

Are these influence effort effective? Yes, they’re very effective.
Let’s compare the CCP’s preferred positions on U.S. policies with the action of @GovTimWalz and his appointees on
A) Tariffs
B) Covid accountability for CCP
C) U.S. and Chinese history

Here’s a description of the Chinese ambassador denouncing Trump Admin. tariffs, while speaking at the US-China Governors Forum (which was co-organized by CPAFFC) in 2019.

B) The CCP seeks to avoid accountability for the Covid pandemic.
Even America’s political Left now recognizes the CCP is the obstacle to determining Covid origins and assigning responsibility 👇

Wang described the 60-year event preceding the pandemic as the “the great famine”.

Gov. Walz appointee’s familiarity with the CCP system should have alerted him to its history of manipulating facts.
Instead, he followed the CCP playbook: avoiding accountability by ascribing responsibility to events predestined by astrology and thus outside of human control.

Similarly, the CCP works to advance the divisive CRT view of US history.

The CCP has spun an extensive web of influence through US gov., economy, and culture. Walz connects to that web in many disturbing ways.
Though his background investigation with the Dept of Defense is gone, we’ll dig to obtain answers that Americans deserve.
