Schweizer: Tim Walz ‘Digging In’ on Stolen Valor — ‘Arrogance’ Becoming a Major Character Issue

Breitbart News 14 Aug 2024
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz has for years embellished his military service in the National Guard, as reports based on statements from those who served with him have shown. There are also lingering questions about Walz’s long history of association with the Communist Party of China (CCP). Now there are new questions about the investment activities of Minnesota’s state pension fund under Walz’s leadership.

Peter Schweizer, host of The Drill Down podcast, and co-host Eric Eggers, review the “troubling questions” on the most recent episode.

“Tim Walz traveled to China extensively,” Schweizer says. “That’s no big deal in and of itself. He had a student exchange program where he brought American students to China. What’s concerning here is that program was actually funded by the Chinese. And of course, when you say it’s funded by the Chinese, it’s not some nonprofit. It’s the Chinese Communist Party that runs that,” he says.

“And some very interesting comments from some of the students that were involved in that program. There was a local media account, for example, where one of the students said that Walsh told the students to downplay their “Americanness,” when they were in China, which strikes me as odd.”

As Schweizer and the Government Accountability Institute showed in the bestseller Blood Money, China’s “disintegration warfare” relies on capturing elites in the United States and intimidating Chinese nationals while they are in the US for school or as guest workers.

“In 2019, now as governor of Minnesota, he gives a speech to an organization that is a known [Chinese government] front group,” Schweizer continues. “When he had his inauguration in January of 2019 as governor, he actually invited Chinese diplomats to attend, which is odd and kind of strange.”

Schweizer and Eggers also note there are Chinese government offices in the US that they call “secret police stations,” whose purpose is to police and monitor the activities of Chinese citizens in the US. There are eight of them known to the FBI — one of them is located in Minneapolis.

Peter Schweizer: Tim Walz Tied to Chinese ‘Secret Police Stations’ That Kidnap CCP Critics

Olivia Rondeau 14 Aug 2024

Ties between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are becoming more alarming, with Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer revealing that the VP hopeful is connected to “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States.”

During Schweizer’s latest appearance on Breitbart News Daily, Walz was accused of being connected to a group called Minnesota Global that is allegedly tied to a secret Chinese police station in the Twin Cities:

The New York Times bestselling author claimed that Walz, who was announced as Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate on August 6, is connected to CCP operatives who conduct illegal police activity in the U.S.

While speaking on several of the Minnesota governor’s unsavory links to the Chinese government, Schweizer mentioned the “secret police stations that the Chinese have here in the United States,” which are unofficial but “so-called united front groups that exist in the West.”

Schweizer, who also serves as president of the Government Accountability Institute, said these stations “cooperate with Chinese intelligence” in order to “intimidate Chinese that are living in the United States that don’t like the CCP or [are] critical of the CCP.”

In April 2023, New York police arrested two men for allegedly setting up a secret police station in order to collect information on opponents of the CCP, the Associated Press reported.

“Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, are both U.S. citizens accused of working with Chinese government officials ​​to commit “transnational repression,” according to the outlet.

Such secret police stations have been reported across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and other countries where the CCP has identified Chinese expats who are critical of their government.
