Swalwell's ties to the Chinese Communist Party

Eric Swalwell’s California Governor Campaign Caught Taking Money From Chinese Law Firm With Deep CCP Ties

Swalwell's Governor Campaign Accepted Nearly $15,000 From CCP-Tied Law Firm

The donation came from a law firm with one attorney in its Silicon Valley office. That lawyer is Keliang "Clay" Zhu, who previously donated $5,000 to Swalwell's campaign in November and over $10,000 to his House campaigns in previous cycles.

Here's where it gets interesting.

The Chinese Communist Party's Ministry of Justice created the China Law Office as a subsidiary firm in the early 1990s, which later became DeHeng Law Offices in 1995.

The firm now operates over two dozen offices in China while claiming independence, but lawyers at the firm continue working hand-in-glove with the Chinese government's departments and major state-owned enterprises.

Zhu's biography reads like a how-to guide for helping Communist China infiltrate American business.

He touts representing "an investment fund of a major state-owned enterprise in acquiring majority shares in one data analytics software company in the Silicon Valley" valued at $100 million.

Another bio claims he "has assisted Chinese companies and funds to complete more than $9 billion investments in the fields of chips, unmanned vehicles, new energy, artificial intelligence, industrial automation, and biopharmaceuticals in the United States."

And that's not all..

Swalwell's ties to China have come under scrutiny before, particularly after Chinese national, Christine Fang also known as "Fang Fang," gained special access to him and his campaign. She was deemed by U.S. officials to be part of a counterintelligence effort linked to China meant to influence and get close to U.S. political figures.

And now he wants to run for governor of California. That state is so messed up.
