Arizona Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly faced increased scrutiny following news that he may become the Vice President nominee on the 2024 presidential election Democratic ticket.
Kelly found himself on the top of a shortlist of Vice President Kamala Harris’s potential running mates, above names such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, The Hill reported.
The increased scrutiny has raised questions about Kelly’s dealings with China.
As reported by Fox News, Kelly co-founded World View, a company that originally aimed to provide customers with space tourism using balloons.
One of the company’s earliest founders was Tencent, notoriously one of the largest companies in communist China, which the Chinese government therefore controls.
Perhaps most famously, the company runs the Chinese social media app WeChat, which serves as a “powerful surveillance tool for the Chinese government” that collects users’ personal information, search history, messages and so on, as reported by Fox News.
Over the years, what once started as a mere tourism company expanded its offerings.
World View balloons now provide clients with surveillance and “remote sensing services.”
