With the Trump family and its elected and unelected cronies in government raking in literal billions of dollars from entities like the Saudi Investment Fund, Qatar, etc., you think $6,000 is the thing to worry about?Sounds like quite the conflict of interest. I guess money speaks louder than principle.
Khanna was elevated to ranking member of the House Select Committee on the CCP on Wednesday, replacing Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) as the top Democrat on the panel. Though Khanna has criticized China as an “authoritarian, surveillance state” and acknowledged its human rights violations, wealthy donors with connections to the CCP nonetheless feel comfortable cutting him checks.
East West Bank CEO Dominic Ng, for instance, donated $5,800 to Khanna between March 2021 and May 2022, campaign finance records show.
Press reports have identified Ng as having held leadership roles in the China Overseas Exchange Association and the China Overseas Friendship Association — two groups that the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a congressional office dedicated to studying China, has identified as front groups for China’s United Front Work Department.
