House announces investigation of Tim Walz’s alleged connections to Chinese communists
Comer notes Minnesota exec has visited China 30 times, worked for institution devoted to CCP
Tim Walz, the radically left Minnesota governor who has been linked to a Hitler-promoting Muslim leader and whose state gave $2 million in grants to a group that is linked through its fundraising to an al-Qaida affiliate, visited China 30 times.
He’s been a “fellow” at a Chinese foundation that is devoted to the Chinese Community Party.
He spoke alongside the chief of a Chinese group that the State Department has condemned as a CCP effort to “influence and co-opt local leaders.”
And now, based on that evidence, he’s under investigation by the U.S. House.
The Just the News publication noted House Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., confirmed on Friday Walz, picked by Kamala Harris to be her VP on the Democrats’ presidential ticket this year, is under investigation for his alleged links to CCP officials.
His committee confirmed, “Mr. Walz has visited China 30 times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders.”

The committee announcement continued, “FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chairman Comer is now requesting information, documents, and communications related to the CCP-connected entities and officials Governor Walz has engaged and partnered with.”
The Gateway Pundit documented that Comer’s review of Walz is a “high-stakes investigation.”
“The inquiry comes amid growing concerns over Governor Walz’s reported connections to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) entities and officials,” the report said.
Comer continued, “The CCP has sought to destroy the United States through coordinated influence and infiltration campaigns that target every aspect of American life, including our own elected officials. Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China.”
A statement from the committee noted, “Reporting indicates Governor Walz has concerning ties to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In 1993, according to the Star-Herald, as a teacher, Mr. Walz organized a trip to the PRC with Alliance High School students, where costs were paid by the Chinese government. In 1994, Mr. Walz set up a private company named ‘Educational Travel Adventures, Inc.,’ which coordinated annual student trips to the PRC until 2003 and was led by Mr. Walz himself.”
During his time in Congress, Walz was a “fellow” at the Macau Polytechnic University, which the report called “a Chinese institution that characterizes itself as having a ‘long held devotion to and love for the motherland.'”
