In 1989, the Chinese Communist Party cracked down on pro-democracy protests with bullets and tanks.
According to his congressional biography, "Walz spent 1989-1990 teaching high school in China as a part of the first government sanctioned groups of American educators to teach in China through a program at Harvard University."
Who can forget the image of a lone protester being crushed to death in Tiananmen Square?
That same year, Tim Walz hopped on a plane and flew to China to teach for a year, where he was lavished with gifts and a salary that dwarfed that of native Chinese teachers.
A few years later — just four years after the horrific Tiananmen Square massacre — Tim Walz began accepting money from the CCP for his new student tourism business.
His ties to the CCP raise troubling questions about where his loyalties lie and what the CCP got in return for all the money they shuttled his way over the years.
In 1994, Mr. Walz set up a private company named “Educational Travel Adventures, Inc.,” which coordinated annual student trips to the PRC until 2003, and was led by Mr. Walz himself.
