That is very interesting. Do you see any connection with Walz and his china experience. Sounds to me like he is seeing a money opportunity.
It doesn't take much imagination that Walz could take the same role as Soetoro's VP, Brandon, and have Walz, as Karmello's VP take over the China portfolio. Walz would become a very rich man. Who knows, maybe Karmello would assign him UKR, too.
My impression of Walz is that of useful idiot/ opportunist. I don't think the Chinese asked him to do anything that he wasn't already inclined to do. When they sweetened the pot he just became more enthusiastic.
I doubt Walz is a traitor. He is a first-class idiot though.
