Clinton first to take Chinese money.

SWALWELL JUST TIP OF ICEBERG OF CHINESE INFLUENCE

DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN TAKING CHINESE MONEY FOR 30 YEARS 

The controversy over Eric "the russians are coming" Swalwell having received money from foreign Chinese donors is just the latest episode of Chinese influence buying in the Democrat party. While Swalwell may have been just a dupe who really didn't know what was happening, the fact that he was sharing bed time with a Chinese national raises questions about his reliability as a member of the intelligence committee. Who knows what may have revealed in the heat of the moment?

Then there was the revelation last year, that Diane Feinstein's driver of 20 years was a Chinese spy. He was in her company daily and had access to her conversations and other communications while in her presence. It has been reported that the San Francisco area is a hot bed of Chinese influence and intelligence gathering, both military and commercial. Where was the FBI and other intelligence agencies that are rumored to know everything going on, or are they really more like the Wizard of OZ.  Or is it just republicans who may have shook hands or said hello to a Russian that they focus on.

Bill Clinton was taking contributions from China as early as the 1996 presidential campaign. A long list of Chinese connected to the Chinese government and Chinese industries pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations. These included John Huang, who pleaded guilty and paid a fine, he was accused of arranging contributions to California Democrats to the tune of 1.6 billion dollars, which was eventually returned by the DNC and other california Democrats including Dianne Feinstein. His activities started in 1992.

Then there was Yah Lin "Charlie" Trie, who raised illegal contributions for the DNC to the tune of $600,000 . He pleaded guilty and paid a small fine and community service. He was reported to have visited the white House 22 times and was nominated to a commission on foreign trade.

In the same time period there was Johnny Chung, who entered into a plea deal and was given probation for contributing $360,000 to the 1996 Clinton /Gore campaign, which originated from a Chines military intelligence General.

The details of these incidents can be found at this link from the Washington Post.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/background.htm   This is before  the Washington Post became an arm of the DNC.

Janet Reno was the Attorney general and no time was spent by anyone, all the conduits of Chinese money received small fines and probations. No penalties were placed on any DNC or Clinton/Gore collaborators. Most of it was swept under the rug at the time. The Chinese and the Democrats have most likely gotten more sophisticated in their money transactions.

This is when China was the beneficiary of one sided trade deals negotiated by the Clinton Administration, that killed millions of American Jobs. Much of the increase in the ability of Chinese military to become a world power was a direct result of their connections to California based aerospace, technology and military industries.

Was this just a quest by the democrats to increase contributions to gain political power, or was it much more an ideologically reasoned decision. When the Soviet Union was disbanded in 1989, they no longer were the leader of the international communist movement. The Chinese communist party had become the defacto replacement and the Russian federation was considered a traitor to the cause.

Is it any wonder that the Obama administration's White house communications director Anita Dunn was quoted as relaying in a private meeting that her favorite philosophers were Mao-Tse sung and Mother Teresa. It created a stir at the time, but just shows were some political decisions are coming from.

It is not uncommon to hear many left wing business leaders praise the Chinese economic system as superior to our free market and free opportunity system. While it may be more profitable and more expediente, it has little freedom or liberty for workers, it is all about the supremacy of the State.
