Because Communist China recognizes an unscrupulous Leftist when they see one. They knew this POS could be bought. That he is totally susceptible to being bought.
The Left Claim to HATE money and those with money.
This is total BS. What they hate is they don’t have the money others have. They Crave it and hatefully resent it if they feel they will never be able to attain it for themselves.
But, as soon as the opportunity presents itself they will jump on it no matter what. No matter who it hurts. No matter the consequences to the country or anyone else.
Maybe the guy just likes money.
