House Speaker Nancy Pelosi softened her previous criticisms of China’s communist regime as her husband and son scored big business deals in China, Peter Schweizer’s new book reveals.
The bombshell revelations about Pelosi come as she is under fire for stock trading returns made by her and her husband that regularly outperform the market. Now, it appears as though her family’s business opportunities in China have influenced her policy views on America’s chief adversary.
Pelosi’s family has had millions of dollars on the line when it comes to China, and the Speaker seems to have altered her positions on China’s communist regime from a policy perspective as these investments grew and took shape.
“Pelosi was, early in her career, a particularly harsh critic of China’s human rights practices,” Schweizer writes. “She continues to be vocal about some issues, but her positions have softened as her family has received lucrative commercial opportunities in mainland China.”
” Schweizer quotes Matthews’ China Fund fact sheet as saying, “Under normal market conditions, the Matthews China Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, which include borrowings for investment purposes, in the common and preferred stocks of companies located in China.”
Pelosi’s husband was not alone in the family for having business interests in China that clearly conflicted with Pelosi’s duty as a member of, and leader in, Congress. Her son Paul Pelosi Jr. also had several business opportunities in China.
Schweizer concludes by noting that when the coronavirus pandemic hit the United States after emerging from Wuhan, China, Pelosir used her position to block any and all investigation into the origins of the virus.

One look at the incompetence in DC and it’s easy to see we’re dealing with an entitled ‘royal court’ mentality - - with ‘the royals’ passing on their rank and positions to their ‘not as capable’ offspring.
The result?
Incompetence AND angry stupid people resenting the rest of us - resenting the millions of us who can see the emperor has no clothing and either does is his stupid vile court.
Any lawmaker who has an investment, either personally or by immediate family, should be mandatorily recused by the Ethics Committee from voting or participating in debates regarding legislation related to the company or country in which he or she is invested. Non-disclosure is grounds for impeachment.
