The group, which was founded by Neil Bush, a brother to former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, goes by the name Bush China Foundation for short. Its goal, according to its website, is to build "a constructive relationship" between the U.S. and China.

"We are proud of our partnership with CUSEF and deeply appreciative of CUSEF’s generous support," Leslie Reagan, a spokesperson for the Bush China Foundation, said, according to Axios.

I'm convinced most such foundations are scams. The notion that this one could magically build a sunshine-and-lollipops relationship with a country intent on conquering us is ludicrous.

All the US politicians/bureaucrats involved in China "opening" a few decades go are suspect today. Seems they all used their positions to cash in.

The Bushes were right in among em.
