Bush nonprofit agreed to take $5 million from Chinese Communist Party-connected group: report

The George H.W. Bush Foundation for U.S.-China Relations agreed to accept $5 million from a group with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and China's international propaganda efforts, according to a report Saturday.

The group, which was founded by Neil Bush, a brother to former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, goes by the name Bush China Foundation for short. Its goal, according to its website, is to build "a constructive relationship" between the U.S. and China.

But a written agreement published by Axios reveals that the Bush China Foundation agreed in 2019 to accept $5 million over five years from the China-United States Exchange Foundation, an organization that's been criticized as a key part of China's international propaganda efforts.

"We are proud of our partnership with CUSEF and deeply appreciative of CUSEF’s generous support," Leslie Reagan, a spokesperson for the Bush China Foundation, said, according to Axios. "(T)he Bush China Foundation has staked out a very strong independent posture on virtually all of the major issues in the U.S.-China relationship; in the process, we have frequently leveled sharp criticism of Chinese policies and actions when we believe that has been merited."

The written agreement published by Axios notably stipulates that the grant does not obligate the Bush China Foundation to take any positions on any issues and that all Bush China Foundation decisions will be made "at its sole discretion."

CUSEF presents itself as an independent nonprofit. But according to the right-leaning, hawkish Jamestown Foundation, it functions essentially as a front group for the Chinese Communist Party.

CUSEF's chairman is also the vice-chairman of another group that is "a patriotic united front organization of the Chinese people, under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party."

Neil Bush would fit right in with the Biden clan. He worked for Ted Cruz, too.

Neil Bush was on the board of an S&L that had a massive amount of loans that were nonperforming. When called to testify before Congress on the activities of his partners, who had received $ 132 million in loans from Silverado, he claimed “they were partners of mine, I wasn’t a partner of theirs”. This novel interpretation of partnership law as one-way seemed to work for Neil Bush, as he paid only a $ 50,000 civil fine and avoided criminal charges, which seems to be de riguer for members of “The Establishment”.

Neil Bush is who Ted Cruz selected to be his finance man on his 2016 Usurpation run.

BOTH parties didn’t expect him to win and won’t let something like that happen again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Slight edit.

They had us in a box voting for amnesty candidate R or amnesty candidate D.
Either way the border stayed open and amnesty was the goal.

I voted for George or his Dad every time they ran. Where was my head? These guys are just as crooked as Hillary and Bill and their “Foundation”. If you accept 5 million from the Communist Party YOU ARE A CROOK and TRIPLE THAT if your a former President!

One things for sure and that is I will NOT vote for the punk bush running for AG. He might as well start delivering for Amazon.

Fauci, BLM/ANTIFA/Democrat Party, and now the Bushes. All connected, funded, and compromised by the Chinese Communist Party. At least, that is what the facts say.

*************************************************************

You left out John Roberts.

The only prominent DC person I now believe is NOT on the CCP take is Donald Trump and the Trump Family. I pray that doesn’t change.

Yep, but I really can’t blame him, GH ran second to Reagan in the primaries in 1980 and Reagan wanted to win and get Carter out, but Reagan would have won anyway even if he picked a fish as his running mate, Carter was just too much of a massive F up. But yep, he absolutely screwed up again not dumping GH in 1984, I assume because he was naive about the Bush crime family and was distracted by the Marxists harassing him about the Contras. It just goes to show how one small decision as POTUS can have massive repercussions for decades.
