Bush nonprofit agreed to take $5 million from Chinese Communist Party-connected group: report

The George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations agreed to accept $5 million from a group with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and China's international propaganda efforts, according to a report Saturday.

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.

But a written agreement published by Axios reveals that the Bush China Foundation agreed in 2019 to accept $5 million over five years from the China-United States Exchange Foundation, an organization that's been criticized as a key part of China's international propaganda efforts.

"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.
