Republican lawmakers are warning that Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz is compromised after DailyMail.com exclusively uncovered he had a fling with a Chinese official’s daughter decades ago.
Walz’s tryst with Jenna Wang, the daughter of a high-ranking Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official, has lawmakers worried with seven days to the election.
The House Oversight Committee has been investigating Tim Walz for his ties to China and CCP entities since August.
After the relationship that began in 1989 was exposed, the committee’s chairman exclusively told DailyMail.com that Walz has been compromised by China.
‘Governor Tim Walz’s documented relationships with Chinese Communist Party affiliated entities and officials bears hallmarks of a CCP infiltration and influence campaign,’ Comer said.

‘The Oversight Committee is investigating Governor Walz’s involvement with Chinese entities and officials that may have allowed the CCP to influence his decision-making as a congressman and governor, and potentially would allow the CCP to influence the White House should he be elected vice president.’
The Kentucky Republican vowed to continue pressing for answers, adding ‘The American people deserve to fully understand Governor Walz’s relationship with China.’
‘However, the FBI and DHS under the Biden-Harris Administration are stonewalling our investigation,’ Comer said. ‘Why are they hiding information?’
At the end of September, the committee subpoenaed documents and communications from DHS after whistleblowers came forward raising concerns over Walz’s China connections.
The committee says that they never received the documents they demanded, even after calls with DHS attorneys.

Applying more pressure to the department Comer released a snippet of an internal DHS communications turned over by the whistleblowers.
‘Walt’s got the Vp.’ the message said, clearly spelling Walz’s name wrong.
‘You all have no idea how this feeds into what [People’s Republic of China] has been doing here with him and local gov,’ the same message ominously continues .
‘It’s seriously a line of the intel. Target someone who is perceived they can get to DC.’
The anonymous message raised the alarm for Comer’s initial investigation.
The committee is now demanding that DHS reply by November 4, the day before Election Day.

On Monday, following the DailyMail.com report, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., called for further answers as well.
‘If the story today in [Daily Mail] is true Tim Walz had a relationship with the daughter of a high ranking Chinese Communist Party official and remained in contact with her for years after,’ Rubio posted on X.
‘If you aspire to be Vice-President of the United States, voters deserve to know everything about any and every link you have to the CCP.’
Rubio is currently the vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and also sits on the powerful Senate Foreign Affairs Committee.
Whether he pushes for further investigations through these committees, however, remains unclear.
His office did not immediately respond for a request for comment.

The Minnesota governor and Kamala Harris’ running mate had the fling while he was living and teaching in China in 1989.
Walz became romantically involved with Jenna Wang, 59, who claims the VP hopeful showered her with gifts and seduced her at his staff accommodation in the Guangdong Province.
The pair were sexually active, traveled together and frequently went on dates, Wang told DailyMail.com, and they hid it all from her father, who was then a high-ranking CCP official.
Wang’s father Bin Hui, who was an important CCP official and chairman of a labor union in her native city of Guilin at the time of her and Walz’s trysts.
‘Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,’ Wang told DailyMail.com in an exclusive interview.
‘The fact we couldn’t touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone.’
‘We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn’t happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim’s behavior was very selfish.’

Wang admitted that her father would be very unhappy knowing she was seeing a westerner so she and Walz had to keep their relationship under wraps
She described meeting Walz at a one of his lectures, where she recounted him complimenting her beauty.
Though she knew it would not last due to her strict father, who did not want her fraternizing with westerners.
‘My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out.’
‘I could never stay overnight because of the social conventions. It was very repressive. Couples walked around the city like robots,’ Wang said.
‘But we talked for hours and hours, we stayed in bed, we had sex. He continued to buy me gifts.’
Walz – pictured in a 1990 photo he sent to Wang – is said to have fallen head over heels for the pretty, highly-educated English language teacher at the nearby No. 8 Middle School, several months after he arrived in Foshan
After returning to China in 1992 the pair’s relationship soured.
She wanted to get married and move to Nebraska where Walz was staying at the time.
However, that fell through and Walz felt as though she was wanting a pathway to get to the U.S.
‘This was very offensive. I said to him that it is both or nothing,’ she said. ‘I wasn’t giving up my life and my position to move to Nebraska, a cold place in the middle of nowhere that most Chinese people had never heard of.’

‘I was giving it up to be with Tim, to get married and start a family.’
‘Knowing now that he wasn’t going to marry me made me feel cheap and common, as if I was being treated like a prostitute.’
