Representative Liz Cheney's husband's law firm represents several Chinese Communist Party-linked clients - including firms tied to the regime's military - and employs former party officials to undergird its massive China practice, The National Pulse can reveal.
The firm, which has offices in Shanghai and Beijing, has worked with companies labeled "Tools" of the Chinese Communist Party by the U.S. State Department and People's Liberation Army collaborators.
As part of its "Greater China Practice," Latham & Watkins describes itself as "Advising" Chinese Communist Party-linked technology firm Tencent on its investment in an American company.
Tencent has been described by the State Department's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation as a "Tool of the Chinese government," noting the company has "No meaningful ability to tell the Chinese Communist Party 'no' if officials decide to ask for their assistance." It provides "a foundation of technology-facilitated surveillance and social control" as part of the CCP's broader crusade "To shape the world consistent with its authoritarian model," the State Department report adds.
Eleven of its 13 executives boast of high-level Chinese Communist Party affiliations on COSCO's website.
To bolster the firm's China practice, Latham & Watkins also employs former Chinese Communist Party apparatchiks.
The firm tracks legislative developments in the Chinese Communist Party, often praising the regime's "Vigorous" environmental laws, even noting "President Xi's announcement signals a renewed effort to improve the fragmented political infrastructure of environmental governance in China."
