Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer's latest investigative exposé, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, reveals how 23 former U.S. senators and congressman have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies after leaving office.
Schweizer's book reveals that many former congressional leaders, committee chairman, and rank-and-file members are lobbying for Chinese intelligence and military-linked companies.
The following 23 former members of Congress - the majority of whom are Republicans - have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies.
SPB registered as a foreign agent of the Chinese embassy in Washington, DC, after decades of close ties to the Chinese government.
Chinese state-owned media often quotes SPB attorneys, who are often critical of trade and technology restrictions on Chinese firms working in the United States.
Tencent is another massive Chinese technology company and the creator of WeChat, the popular Chinese messaging app with over 1.2 billion active monthly users.
Huawei, another Chinese telecom firm with ties to the Chinese military, hired former Rep. Don Bonker and Rep. Cliff Stearns.
Despite his accolades as a "Guardian of small business," Kingston has lobbied for ChemChina, the Chinese state-owned chemical company.
The Chinese government uses Hikvision's surveillance cameras to monitor Uyghurs in the Chinese Communist Party's prison camps.
The Cohen Group has touted its deep ties to the Chinese government, including Cohen's first visit to China as a congressman in 1978 when he met Chinese Communist Leader Deng Xiaoping.
The Cohen Group also extends its consulting for Chinese state-owned enterprises, which Schweizer says are "Often used as tools of the Chinese state." The former Defense secretary also served as the vice chairman of the U.S. China-Business Council, a lobbying group for American companies to do business in China.
