With the United States and China engaged in a heated trade war, the US-China Peoples Friendship Association (USCPFA) scheduled its national convention in Minneapolis.
Minnesota’s soybean trade made it China’s best leverage against President Trump’s tariffs and the regime was fortunate to have one of its own in the governor’s residency.
Gov. Tim Walz was the highest ranking elected official with the broadest ties to China. And so it surprised no one when the US-China Peoples Friendship Association listed him as one of its speakers at the convention alongside notable Communist influence operation figures.
Earlier that year, Walz had gone on a foreign trip to Asia along with his Lt. Gov: leaving no one in charge of Minnesota. While the trip was ostensibly undertaken to find alternative trading partners to China, it was actually a propaganda move to stir up opposition to Trump’s trade war.
In September 2019, Gov. Walz returned claiming that the state’s farmers ‘remain in desperate need of a U.S. trade deal with China.’
“There’s just no substitute for 1.6 billion consumers who are hungry to get our China trade negotiations normalized,” he claimed.
And next month in October, it was time for the USCPFA convention. While the USCPFA represents itself as an alliance of ordinary citizens seeking better relations, it had started out as a Communist front group. Revolution magazine wrote that “Communists, members of the Revolutionary Union (and later the Revolutionary Communist Party) were instrumental in the formation of the earliest local Friendship Associations in 1971 and played a significant role in the creation of the national association and in the building of locals across the country.”
In his book ‘Red Destinies’, historian Colin B. Burke wrote that the USCPFA “like the Party’s front organizations of the 1930s and 1940s it was advertised as a liberal, non-political organization supporting peace and cultural understanding. But in 1971, the founders had other missions: Advance the interests of Communist China and world communism.”
When Gov. Tim Walz showed up at the USCPFA convention, the most obvious sign of the organization’s close ties to China’s influence operation came from Walz’s fellow speaker. As Natalie Winters of Steven Bannon’s War Room first reported, Walz’s fellow speaker at the convention was Li Xiaolin, the president of the “Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC), which leads a billion-dollar Chinese influence operation flagged by the U.S. State Department for ‘directly and malignly influencing” American politicians.’”
Another politician might have pleaded ignorance, but Gov. Tim Walz had been promoted as “one of a select few members of the Legislative Branch with extensive, on-the-ground experience in the Middle Kingdom.” He had probably spent more time in China than any major American elected official.
Walz’s Chinese career began after graduating college when he took a position teaching in China where the future congressman, governor and vice presidential nominee claimed that “no matter how long I live, I will never be treated that well again.”
Together with his wife created a company that brought American students to China and which appeared to be in business for the next two decades.
Walz’s student trips to China were subsidized by the Chinese government. According to a newspaper article at the time, Walz had the idea while working in the Communist country and a “friend helped contact the authorities and funding came through from the government.”
The “friend” worked in China’s Foreign Affairs Department which is routinely used to recruit foreigners.
The students on Walz’s trip enjoyed a “special status” that “let them go places other people can’t.” The students would then be taken to a university to teach them about the Chinese government. Walz however urged students however to “downplay their America-ness.”
A story about Gwen Walz, the governor’s politically extremist wife, described them traveling to the Communist dictatorship “nearly every summer through 2003.”
After being trained to run for political office with the radical leftist Wellstone Action group (now known as RePower), Walzno longer ran trips, but did not turn his back on his interest in China.
Once in Congress, Rep. Walz continued going back to China and meeting with Chinese figures.
In 2013, he became the Vice Ranking and then Ranking Member on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China. He would remain on the Commission until he ran for governor. While Walz occasionally maintained credibility by expressing concern about human rights, he also remained comfortably enmeshed with promoting China’s agenda.
In 2014, Walz greeted a Chinese delegation and claimed that, ““When we work together and when we collaborate together, there’s nothing we can’t solve.” Six years away from the Wuhan Virus, Walz claimed that Chinese medical help would allow them to cure cancer.
In 2015, Walz visited China and praised its infrastructure and progress on global warming.
“I’ve lived in China, and as I’ve said, I’ve been there about 30 times,” he claimed in 2016. “I don’t fall into the category that China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship. I totally disagree.”
As governor, Walz continued pandering to China. In a letter, he claimed that “the state has promoted Minnesota’s connections with China and hosted numerous senior Chinese leaders for decades.”
Appearing at the convention of a Communist front group created to advance China’s interests with a leading figure promoting those interests was not an aberration, but a continuation of Walz’s lifelong advocacy for Communist China.
As a potential vice president or president during an era of global confrontations with the People’s Republic of China, Tim Walz’s long history of China ties raise troubling questions that have yet to be addressed or answered. As a private citizen, Walz benefited from China and as a congressman and a governor, he aided Communist China’s interests in the United States.
The United States lived through four years of questions about Biden’s family connections to China. Kamala’s decision to pick Walz as her VP means those questions are not going away.

Trick him into going back there and get him exit banned.
THX 1138 says
Picking Tim Walz as Vice President all points to the Democrats being certain they can steal the election one way or another.
This all points to the Democrats being certain they can destroy President Trump one way or another.
This all points to the Democrats eagerly welcoming a civil war because they are certain they can call for Martial law and Martial law will do nothing but help them grow their dictatorship. The Democrats are certain they can do to all Americans who fight them what they are doing to the January 6 patriots right now.
The Democrats are thoroughly emboldened, and why shouldn’t they be, they have so far gotten away with every single encroachment on America they have tried since Obama took office in 2008. The Democrats are telling all freedom loving Americans, in your face, we don’t care, we are totalitarians, we mean to enslave you, and there’s nothing you’re gona be able to do about it.
The Democrats have taken their masks off, have stopped all pretenses, and are going for the death blow to America because they are certain they can get away with it.

Sometimes you tell the unvarnished truth, THX. You aren’t always full of Randian shit.
THX 1138 says
Why bless your heart Jeff, i think you’re a sweetheart too.
David says
What is “Randian shit”?
Mike B says
100% true. All too true but true.
Kasandra says
This is deliberate Chinese policy which they call “elite capture.” And it appears it is quite effective, especially with Democrats.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Kasandra !!!
Eva says
That’s because they’re filth-filled traitors.
THX 1138 says
“If America perishes, it will perish by intellectual default. There is no diabolical conspiracy to destroy it: no conspiracy could be big enough and strong enough . . . . As to the communist conspirators in the service of Soviet Russia, they are the best illustration of victory by default: their successes are handed to them by the concessions of their victims.” – Ayn Rand
Kamala Harris says
Perfect, what are we supposed to do? Compete with China? Ha ha ha HA HA HA.
Daniel you need to join my campaign team.
Algorithmic Analyst says
The key to dealing with the ChiComs is to have weapons so lethal that they don’t want to take a chance.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, I’d like to see them try and invade the USA like they always threaten. We’d blow them away. Little rice dicks.
WilliamAParks says
nice more beautiful
Jeff Bargholz says
Timbecile Walz. What a little putz. I’d like to bitch slap him.
Scarlet Pimpernel says
Did he not notice the 5 layers of security that they have controlling the population and any foreign elements? When I was there about 6 years ago, the communist Chinese did not hide their tyranny. 1) The shop girl that went out for a certain amount of time each day to walk along the street and watch for undeliverables. 2) The regular police that pounced on a monk that was out of his temple; probably needed a bag of tea leaves. 3) The traffic police. 4) The secret police. 5) Ordinary people that are used by the government to report. Since I have been there they have added cameras and electronics, like face recognition. HE WANTS TO BRING THIS TO AMERICA. Please vote and stop him.
washingtongriz says
There’s beeen a lot written so far about Walz’s far-left politics, and how bad he’d be as VP.
But there’s only one thing we need to know, and he’s already done that:
He’s consented to be doofus Kamala’s sidekick.
That’s as disqualifying as anything I can think of.
What kind of a man would be such a cuck?
Kasandra says
I have to say Walt’s relationship with China is troubling and the fact that he deliberately got married on the anniversary of the Tienamin Square massacre so he’d remember the date is very troubling.
SPURWING PLOVER says
China has two new puppets to pull their strings and they dance the Walz
Jan VI says
Tim Walz and China’s relationship is appalling!
Thank you for the article, Daniel!
PS – Walz’s face in the picture bears a strong resemblance to his fellow traveler, Bernie Sanders.
