California Gov. Newsom Admin Reportedly Holds Closed-Door Business Meetings With Chinese Gov’t Officials
Story by DCNF-Newswire • 11h
Members of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration held discussions on trade cooperation with Chinese officials on Monday ahead of the anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party’s Tiananmen Square massacre, according to documents obtained by National Review.
The meeting was reportedly held days before the 36th anniversary of Tiananmen Square during the China-California Business Forum, an annual summit hosted by the Chinese consulate general offering local and state politicians an opportunity to network with their Chinese equivalents, according to National Review.
The schedule available to the public describes a smaller session as a “private bilateral meeting,” and the outlet reported that a copy of the meeting guidelines titled the get-together as a “Bilateral Meeting of China Provinces and U.S. California Joint Working Group on Trade and Investment Cooperation.”
“Governor Newsom has earned the pole position as Xi Jinping’s leading man in the United States,” founder and CEO of State Armor Michael Lucci told National Review. “California’s leadership undermines America’s broader national security by prioritizing engagement with Chinese entities that are back-stopped by China’s military, intelligence, and influence networks over building resilient supply chains with American treaty allies.”
