In 1989, the Chinese Communist Party cracked down on pro-democracy protests with bullets and tanks. Who can forget the image of a lone protester being crushed to death in Tiananmen Square? That same year, Tim Walz hopped on a plane and flew to China to teach for a year, where he was lavished with gifts and a salary that dwarfed that of native Chinese teachers.
According to his congressional biography, "Walz spent 1989-1990 teaching high school in China as a part of the first government sanctioned groups of American educators to teach in China through a program at Harvard University."
Upon returning home, his hometown newspaper reported that he had received "royal treatment" during his time there. "No matter how long I live, I'll never be treated that well again," Walz told the newspaper. "They gave me more gifts than I could bring home." He was provided with an apartment that "included a color televisions and shortwave radio. His pay, 650 yuan or $80 per month, was double the salary of other teachers."
"I was treated exceptionally well," he told the Star-Herald at the time. "There was no anti-American feeling whatsoever."
After returning home, he displayed a "Chinese banner and clippings from news accounts of his trips" on the walls of his school office.
A few years later — just four years after the horrific Tiananmen Square massacre — Tim Walz began accepting money from the CCP for his new student tourism business.
In 1993, the Times-Herald reported that "Walz got the idea while working as a teacher in China three years ago. A friend helped contact the authorities and funding came through from the government this April." That "friend" worked in China's foreign affairs department.

A governor and a VP candidate so far..........
Unwavering fealty.
Good article, although in the article opening I would point out that there is no famous photo of a tank crushing a lone protester.
The famous guy was not crushed at all, but seems to have been taken and no one (at least the public) really knows what happened to him.
It was an amazing and influential occurrence and photo, however — “iconic.”
There were many people killed on later days including some hit or maybe crushed by military vehicles.

Where's the FIB and/or the CIA? Oh that's right, they're owned by China too.
I STILL believe that the MAIN reason Biden surrendered so hurriedly in Afghanistan is because CHINA gave him the ultimatum that THEY WANT BAGRAM AIR BASE. And although Bagram SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED for the evacuation, it WASN'T. And it wasn't probably because CHINA told Biden to LEAVE IT BE.
We're SCREWED and we REALLY ARE screwed.
"There was no anti-American feeling whatsoever."There were no Americans there.
And Comrade Walz got something to get to and from appointments. In his favorite color.
RE: “They gave me more gifts than I could bring home.”
Hunter: Dad, I gotta get a connection with this guy Walz. Our kinda people.
Joe: Here’s my phone. Press 2. Xi will talk to you after an underling runs to tell him it’s us. We don’t need Walz.
In his book “Blood Money”, Peter Schweizer indicated there are 10s of thousands of Chinese military officers on social media. Talk about election interference.
As in Screwed, Glued, and Tattooed.
Walz is what the Maoists used to call a “running-dog lackey.” In this case, he’s *their* running-dog lackey.
The commies killed 60 million people and counting and Walz does not care. He adores the communists.
The above is a link to a 2017 article about a cable describing the events by the British Ambassador to China at the time. Excerpts from the article:
The death toll from the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre was at least 10,000 people, killed by a Chinese army unit whose troops were likened to “primitives”, a secret British diplomatic cable alleged.
The newly declassified document, written little more than 24 hours after the massacre, gives a much higher death toll than the most commonly used estimates which only go up to about 3,000.
It also provides horrific detail of the massacre, alleging that wounded female students were bayoneted as they begged for their lives, human remains were “hosed down the drains”...”
Sir Alan said previous waves of troops had gone in unarmed to disperse the protesters, many of whom were students....
Then, Sir Alan wrote, “The 27 Army APCs [armoured personnel carriers] opened fire on the crowd before running over them. APCs ran over troops and civilians at 65kph [40 miles per hour].”
Sir Alan added: “Students understood they were given one hour to leave square, but after five minutes APCs attacked.
What a detailed link from 2017, with details from a secret cable from just after the massacre occurred, thanks for your comment.
These are some of the results of the system Comrade Walz and minion Harris love so much.
I watched all of that situation extensively when it was occurring, and I remember it was a really bad crackdown that put out the new fire of freedom that the Western world (back when there was such a thing) was hoping would spread and free Communist China.
The “60 per cent illiterate and called primitives” unit is news to me.
Running over the people in the crowd until they were “pie” so the primitives could just push their remains around with bulldozers and wash them down the drain — this is socialism/communism/Maoism/Marxism/fascist.
Tim Walz and figurehead Harris, these are your dream team heroes from your elitist dreams. You are your ilk are primitives too.
another useful idiot
On someone made the comment on another thread that one doesn’t get to teach in China, and then conduct over 30 tours through his travel business, without approval and help from the CCP.
In the original post it said he got funding from the government. Which government? (Probably both.)
Reagan should play off those Buick ads. Trans and gay pride parades, loving the communists, shutting down free speech, funded by billionaires; “This isn’t your grandfather’s Democrat party.”
