One of the most noteworthy observations President Trump made in the statement is that “McConnell has no credibility on China because of his family’s substantial Chinese business holdings,” adding that the Senate Minority Leader “does nothing on this tremendous economic and military threat.”
National File reported on McConnell’s family ties to the People’s Republic of China in some detail in 2020, covering the various anomalies associated with McConnell’s marriage into the Chao family.
Most notably, McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao, is the daughter of shipping magnates James and Ruth Chao and the sister of businesswoman Angela Chao, who was appointed to a non-executive position on the Bank of China’s board of directors in 2016.
Following the death of Ruth Chao, McConnell’s federal disclosure jumped from $3 million to $33 million over a two-year span, and he has also received over $1 million in financial contributions from Elaine Chao’s family.
Angela Chao also serves as the CEO of the Foremost maritime shipping empire, which, despite describing itself as an American company with offices located in New York, conducts its business almost exclusively in Asia. Foremost’s fleet sails under flags registered in Liberia and Hong Kong, not the United States.
Foremost’s fleet was valued at $1.2 billion by shipping tracker VesselsValue in 2019, making it the most valuable such fleet of any dry bulk shipping operation headquartered in the United States while primarily operating in Asia.
James and Angela Chao also serve on the board of the Chinese government-owned China State Shipbuilding corporation, which, as the New York Times reported, receives substantial amounts of cash loans from the Bank of China. As noted earlier, Angela Chao sits in a non-executive position on the Bank of China’s board of directors.

...ooopsss....make that “Newsweek”....
Biden puts his ham handed, junkie son in charge of the multi million CCP graft machine. McConnell uses ultra smooth, ultra connected Chao for his billion dollar CCP payoff conduit. MAGA was hammering McConnell/CCP, Inc.
She’s a commie Jim.
So, Mitch’s Daddy in Law is a billionaire top commie in China and The Left says “No big deal”.
And, Corporate Media along with the Democrat Party supports them.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire which means little doubt Mitchell is breaking the law with impunity. Therefore he should resign and be prosecuted and then sent to prison.
I think it would be very informative if President Trump would tell us exactly why he picked McConnell’s wife to be transportation secretary in his administration.
Apparently the job does not require knowledge of the transportation industry because former mayor Pete Buttplug is in the job now.
This has been known for years.
He should be hanged by the neck on the Capitol Mall, along with Benghazi Hil, U-1 Bill, and China Joe.
Schweizer wrote about McConnell family corruption in Secret Empires a couple of years ago.
Trump is going turtle hunting.
Mitch is a bought and paid for CCP asset.
Some clarity about patriotism vs consorting with the enemy is in order.
Trump appointed many deep state operatives. He did not understand the terrible immorality of the deep state.
Nope! They are above reproach! (spit)
BINGO!!~! I don’t think Trump had ANY IDEA that both parties were TOTALLY CORRUPT!!!!
