Democrats, among them some of the most recognizable names in politics, have accepted millions of dollars in campaign contributions from top employees at firms the Pentagon recently designated as "Chinese military companies" operating in the U.S.
The Department of War on June 8 designated Alibaba, Baidu and BYD as "Chinese military companies," meaning that the three firms, in the eyes of the U.S. government, are providing assistance to the People’s Liberation Army through its military-civil fusion strategy or other means. Senior employees at these companies, including executives, have donated roughly $2.6 million to Democratic political committees since 2020, a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance filings has found.
Notable individuals and organizations that received contributions from top staffers at these firms include Sen. Adam Schiff, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, former President Joe Biden, Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee.
Donors to Democratic committees from the trio of firms include executives, top-level lawyers, lobbyists and, to a much lesser extent, rank-and-file employees working in areas such as engineering or management. The staffers made some contributions to Republicans as well, though the overall sum was far lower than what Democrats received.

They are the leading Chinese companies in their fields I believe.
I’ll bet China Mitch’s hand picked successor Thune is bought and paid for by the Chicoms.

I don’t know about that but he sure is doing all he can to protect the current abilities of the DemocRATS and other Chicom allies to commit fraud in elections.
The strange symbiosis between Democrat Socialists and the People’s Liberation Army just grows and grows. Perhaps should not be surprising, as both have much more in common, than just their signal distaste for the United States and its freewheeling economic system. To them, the US is a distinctly inferior country, much in need of “improvement”, with lame excuses for history and culture. Ripe for the taking.
Before that it was the Democrats and the USSR.
What do Democrats have to do to rate the “High Crimes & Misdemeanors” or the “Treason” label?
That there needs thorough investigation. List the dang demoncRATS for public shame calling.
Newly?
As an individual, I can only donate $2500 to a candidate, yet I see where the rich donate millions to a democrat. How is this done so I can donate also. (Sarc)
