Former U.S. ambassador and presidential candidate Nikki Haley has been warning about China, calling it part of the "New Axis of Evil" and tweeting that the U.S. should "End normal trade relations with Communist China until it stops killing Americans with fentanyl."
The land giveaway involves a Chinese company with strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party called China Jushi.
According to the WaPo, "This is a partially state-owned enterprise where a top official is a ranking Chinese Communist Party member. Board chairman Chang Zhangli is a party committee member. China National Building Material Company Limited, a state-owned company, owns nearly 27 percent of China Jushi, according to the company website. Several top officials of CNBMC also are party officials."
Chinese companies purchased 1,500 acres of land, and Chinese capital investment doubled in the state while Haley was governor.
Granted, 1,500-odd acres of real estate in South Carolina isn't a huge amount of land, but it's troubling that Haley, a China hawk who has been warning about the dangers of the CCP, played footsie with the Chinese while governor of the state.
"We didn't sell any land to the Chinese. But, yes, I recruited a fiberglass company."
If Haley does indeed believe that China poses an existential threat to the United States and that we should "End normal trade relations" with the Communist regime, she should own up to bringing a company with ties to the CCP to her state.
