'Red-Handed': How the Bush Family Cashed In on Friendship with Chinese Official Involved in the Tiananmen Square Massacre

The Bush family has cashed in on friendship with former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, the architect of the Tiananmen Square massacre, for generations, Peter Schweizer documents in his new book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.

"The mayor of Shanghai during negotiations for the golf course, Jiang Zemin, became a Bush family friend who later became the premier of China," Schweizer noted.

"We believe Bush Sr. will definitely push Bush Jr. to bring U.S.-China relations to a new level."

The Chinese state-run Global Times published an article this week resurfacing an interview Bush did at the time praising China effusively for its handling of the 2008 Summer Olympics, when here asserted he was "Showing the Chinese people his respect by attending the Olympics."

"During the George W. Bush presidency, a new generation of Bushes began securing deals with Chinese officials," Schweizer writes in his book.

"Neil Bush, brother of the president, signed a contract with a Chinese company called Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing. Bush had no background in computing, but the firm paid him $400,000 a year."

Neil Bush is now a propagandist for Chinese state media, publicly opposing American support for the anti-communist protests in Hong Kong in 2019.
