Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials appointed Sen. Mitch McConnell’s wife to multiple government positions, many of which partially overlapped with her two U.S. Cabinet posts, according to Chinese government and state media reports unearthed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Elaine Chao, who married the Kentucky Republican in 1993, has held numerous U.S. government positions since the 1980s, including serving as Department of Labor (DOL) secretary throughout President George W. Bush’s tenure and as Department of Transportation (DOT) secretary during President Donald Trump’s first term. After resigning from the Trump administration in January 2021, Chao then served on the board of EV charging company ChargePoint between 2021 and 2026, and is now listed as a distinguished fellow at the Hudson Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit.
Chao — whose Chinese name is Zhao Xiaolan — has also received at least four Chinese government positions since 2008, including within arms of a CCP influence and intelligence agency called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), according to DCNF translations of Chinese government and state media reports. Beijing uses the UFWD to steer foreign policy and “gain access to advanced foreign technology,” according to the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC).
Chao did not disclose any of the reported Chinese government positions during her January 2017 DOT secretary Senate confirmation hearing, which required her to list all positions held within the last ten years.
Chao’s late sister, Angela Chao, and father, James S.C. Chao, founder of shipping firm Foremost Group, both also received Chinese government and UFWD arm positions, according to DCNF translations of Chinese government and state media reports.

The sooner Ditch is gone, the better.
They knew it
Unregistered Foreign Agent.
Felony.
CIA would have known. They were trying to sabotage the Trump administration and kept it hidden.
If this wasn’t TREASON I don’t know what is! And ol MITCH had to know! TREASON X2!
What the???
Just think- back in the 50s, the Rosenbergs got the Death Penalty.
She married Mitch in 1993, huh? That certainly tracks with a number of things that transpired in the years that followed.
“according to Chinese government and state media reports”
no need read further or waste any time on such nonsense ...
“Held Appointments From Chinese Communist Party Organizations While Serving In Cabinet”
Sounds iike the Liberal Party of Canada
I wonder if Trump knew about this when he appointed her. She was an early Jan. 6 defender attacking Trump.
It’s too bad Walter Huddleston lost reelection to McC in 1984. He was a milquetoast moderate who said little. McC has done far more harm than Huddleston.
There is still time for the McConnells.
Marco Rubio is okay because he was born in Miami and we know that Cubans are anti-Communists.
They knew it because their check cleared.
She’s Taiwanese, so what is the story there?
Why would someone try to destroy their own country?
The Rosenbergs were convicted in court. And they helped give Russia nuclear secrets. Of course, the U.S. also let Ted Hall, who was much worse, go Scott free.
But Chao hasn’t been convicted or charged yet. And nothing on the order of nuclear weapons.
*The Rosenbergs may also have been involved in the assassination of Lev Trotsky.
