Kamala Harris’ Husband’s Firm Makes Big Money Working for China
Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, works at a multinational law firm that consults for several companies owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and that employs former CCP officials.
Emhoff’s firm, DLA Piper, boasts of its nearly 130 years of experience dealing in China, as well as its team of 140 lawyers who make up a “China Investment Services” branch.
Harris’ husband has served as a partner in the firm’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice and its Media, Sport, and Entertainment sector since 2017.
To assist in its China-focused consulting, DLA Piper has “China Desks” in both the United States and Europe, which raises questions about whether China’s closeness to Emhoff’s business could be exploited by the communist nation to gain leverage in the White House should Biden/Harris win in November.
DLA Piper has received big awards from the China Business Law Journal and China Law and Practice. The National Pulse notes of the firm’s hiring of former Chinese communist officials:
Ernest Yang, who serves as the firm’s Head of Litigation & Regulatory department and Co-Head of International Arbitration, was appointed to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in 2013. The CPPCC serves as the top advisory board for the Chinese Communist Party, and Yang was promoted to the body’s Standing Committee in 2019.
Jessica Zhao, a Senior Advisor, served as the Deputy Secretary General of the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), a government-owned body established by the Chinese Communist Party in 1956. It was developed under the auspices of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, “a governmental body for the furtherance of Chinese trade promotion.”
Gloria Liu, who is a partner at DLA Piper, has“represented lead investors” in deals with Bytedance the company of controversial social media app TikTok, which President Trump is set to ban out of concerns that it feeds user information to China. Liu’s role, DLA Piper says, involves “liaising with the central and local authorities” in China.
