Tim Walz has spent decades visiting, worshiping China

• Walz claimed he visited China 30 times, which his campaign later said was a lie — and that he really only visited around 15 times.
  
  
  • From 1992 to 2003, Walz traveled nearly every summer to China — and “honeymooned” there in 1994.
    
    
• Walz taught a Chinese Communist Party-approved course in China soon after the Tiananmen Square massacre.
  
  
• Walz’s company, Education Travel Adventures (ETA), benefitted from subsidies by the Chinese government, which sponsored students’ accommodations and transportation during the exchange programs.
  
  
• Walz has repeatedly praised Communist China, saying that he had "never been treated better in his life" while living there and that there was "almost no crime."
  
  
  • Walz recalled one of his trips to China as “a 15-day adventure of a lifetime.”
    
    
• Walz got married in 1994 on the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre because “he wanted to have a date he’ll always remember.”
  
  
• Walz has spent so much time in China, he learned the language: “I’ve lived in China and speak Chinese, I’m pretty friendly with China.”
  
  
• Walz has close ties to the Twin Cities-based nonprofit organization Minnesota Global that houses an alleged CCP police station in Minnesota, which Walz has failed to shut down as governor.
  
  
• Walz has repeatedly said that he doesn’t believe China should be seen as an adversary, even though the FBI has identified China as the greatest espionage threat to the U.S.
  
  
• In 2019, Walz criticized President Trump’s tough-on-China trade policy and called for policies that put China first.
