Communist China Lobby Buys U.S. Influence With Clintons, Bushes
Written by Alex Newman
The most murderous dictatorship in all of human history is assembling a massive battery of U.S. lobbyists and propagandists in and around Washington, D.C., sparking growing concerns across the political spectrum about its intentions and the effect this lobbying Leviathan will have on the federal government. That dictatorship, of course, is the Communist Party regime enslaving mainland China. And among the growing roster of political hacks on its payroll are top former officials including ex-House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, who played a key role in transferring America's productive capacity to Communist China in the late 1990s. Unsurprisingly, the Clintons and the Bushes are involved, too. But critics are sounding the alarm.
Plenty of foreign governments lobby Congress and the executive branch of government. The “Israel Lobby,” for instance, has developed a reputation as a powerhouse when it comes to swaying the U.S. government's policies. The Turkish and the Saudi lobbies are also reportedly quite significant. Various European governments also spend millions trying to influence Washington D.C. But the regime ruling Communist China is not just any foreign government. In fact, it holds the horrifying distinction of having murdered more people than any other entity in history — and it has global ambitions of planetary domination. And so, even among those accustomed to the sliminess of the D.C. “Swamp,” Beijing's influence-buying schemes are raising alarm.
Former U.S. Representative Frank Wolf (R-Va.), who served more than three decades in Congress and was co-chair of the bipartisan “Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission,” was shocked that prominent U.S. political figures would lobby the U.S. government on behalf of the brutal communist regime. “Nobody in the 1980s would have represented the Russian government,” Wolf was quoted as saying in a recent media report about the China lobby. “And now you find so many lobbying for the Chinese government. I served in Congress for 34 years. I find it shocking.” Congressman Wolf was one of the few in Congress brave enough to not just criticize the murderous regime, but to try to ensure that the U.S. government did not build it up via “Most Favored Nation” status.
But it is not just Republicans and conservatives concerned about the Chinese regime's growing influence operations in D.C. Even the far-left has expressed alarm. The "Daily Beast," for example, a far-left online publication suffering from an extreme case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, said Communist China's lobbying prowess “has raised concerns that current U.S. government officials may have an eye on their future prospects in China even before leaving office.” In an article, the “Beast” compiled a list of former U.S. officials now lobbying for China. One of them is the former speaker of the House, the pro-Beijing Boehner. Shortly after retiring amid a national conservative outcry against his “leadership,” Boehner went to work for Squire Patton Boggs, which lobbies for Beijing. Before retiring, he worked to betray America for China's benefit.
Beyond scooping up washed out and politically toxic former congressmen, the Chinese also apparently learned how to game the system in America like the big boys: by buying influence with the so-called Clinton Crime Family. Consider the story of “Rilin Enterprises,” a Communist Chinese “company” run by Communist Chinese operative Wang Wenliang, who has very close ties to the Communist Chinese establishment. According to an investigation by CBS News, the Communist Chinese “company” pledged some $2 million to the Clinton Foundation as Clinton was preparing her bid for the presidency. The Clinton “Foundation,” which appears to have been an influence-buying operation, raked in over $40 million from foreign governments and hundreds of millions more from foreign individuals and entities. The same Chinese “company” that pledged $2 million to Clinton spent at least $1.5 million lobbying Congress and the U.S. State Department from 2012 to 2015, public records show.
