The Foremost Group is a privately held, family-run shipping company based in New York City,[1][2][3] with subsidiaries registered in the Marshall Islands... Foremost has had most of its ships built by China State Shipbuilding, some of them financed by loans from the state-owned Export-Import Bank of China. In 2015 it began construction of the first freighter jointly financed by banks in both the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan; It was founded in 1964 by Chinese-American immigrant James Si-Cheng Chao and his wife Ruth Mulan Chu Chao.
Its chair and CEO since 2008 is Angela Chao, the sixth daughter of the company’s founders; The company has come under scrutiny due to perceived conflicts of interest involving Elaine Chao - daughter of its founders and sister of its current CEO - and her husband Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Additional attention has related to Elaine Chao’s role as Secretary of Transportation - which regulates U.S.-registered cargo vessels - in the administration of President Donald Trump.[4][19][15][20] In 2020, the company received a forgivable loan valued between $350,000 and $1 million under the Paycheck Protection Program, designed to help small businesses that would be otherwise unable to remain solvent during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Just because someone is from Taiwan does nor mean they are not well connected to interests on the mainland; Chinese are typically conservative, but not politically. Mainland CCP fingerprints are all over the place with Mitch and Chou
