A 1997 Los Angeles Times article is crucial in detailing just how cozy Feinstein had become with Chinese officials at the time.
The article details how Feinstein’s husband Richard C. Blum began investing in China with “one project worth less than $500,000” in 1992 before suddenly planning on investing $150 million two years later.
At the exact same moment that Blum’s Chinese investment began to skyrocket, “Feinstein’s role on U.S. policy toward China… expanded. In January 1995, she became a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, giving her a prominent platform for her efforts to support China’s trade privileges,” the Times reported.
The 1997 article also reveals that Feinstein made three visits “since 1995” to meet with senior Chinese officials, including President Jiang Zemin, bringing her husband along each time.
