Kamala Harris is kicking herself right now. She couldn’t have picked a worse VP candidate if she tried.
And this scandal involving Tim Walz and the Chinese Communist Party was revealed in a new bombshell report.
Democratic VP Nominee Tim Walz’s Past Love Affair with Chinese Official’s Daughter Uncovered
Tim Walz, Democratic vice presidential nominee and current Minnesota governor, once experienced a tumultuous love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official that ended with her contemplating su*cide. Jenna Wang, now 59, recounted her experience with Walz during an interview with the New York Post on Monday, revealing a relationship that was as intense as it was ultimately heartbreaking.
Wang recalled being “head over heels” for Walz, who at the time was a young high school English teacher in Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, in 1989. Wang had anticipated a proposal from Walz but was instead met with a breakup that left her devastated and on the verge of taking her own life.
“I was deeply insulted, hurt and I had to leave that place, because many people knew that we had a relationship,” she explained, stating that Walz had led her to believe they would marry.
According to Wang, Walz’s apparent interest went beyond casual dating, as he continued to correspond with her after returning to the U.S. and even requested a passport-sized photo from her in what she thought was an effort to help secure her a visa to join him in the States. “I thought he also loved me. I loved him,” she added, describing her heartbreak and disillusionment with his “lack of character.”
Wang’s story first emerged in the Daily Mail, where she shared details of her move to Italy a few years after her failed relationship with Walz. In an open letter to the American public, Wang described their initial connection as resembling that of a married couple, though they kept it hidden from her father, Bin Hui, a labor union leader in her hometown of Guilin.
She claimed her father would have disapproved of her romance with a Westerner, given the cultural and political divides.
The couple had met through WorldTeach, a nonprofit organization through which Walz had come to teach in China. Wang, who was teaching at a nearby middle school, found herself captivated by Walz’s charm.
They would spend evenings singing karaoke, and Walz gifted her gold jewelry and blue jeans, items considered luxurious in China at the time. Yet, her perspective shifted dramatically after Walz began acting in a way she described as “the type of man against whom a mother warns her daughter not to get involved.”
In her letter, Wang recalled how Walz had allegedly misled her into believing marriage was in their future. “While it is true, you had not promised marriage before you had arrived back in China, marriage was what I had assumed,” she wrote. “Too, marriage was what you had led me to believe — as well as led others to believe, including that female colleague of yours with whom we had tea.”
As she recalled to the Daily Mail, the two had a painful argument about whether she truly loved Walz or simply wanted a visa. This accusation, she said, shocked her, especially since she had been prepared to give up her entire life in China to start anew with him.
“I was giving it up to be with Tim, to get married and start a family,” she explained. Learning that marriage was not in his plans made her feel “cheap and common,” as though she were merely a means to an end.
The two never met again. Walz eventually returned to China in 1993 as head of a student exchange program that linked high school students from Nebraska and Minnesota with Chinese institutions.
The future governor married his current wife, Gwen Whipple, in 1994, notably on June 4, the fifth anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. Whipple later remarked that the date was chosen as “a date he’ll always remember.”
Wang, however, remains disillusioned with Walz’s integrity, telling the Daily Mail that “Tim lied about Tiananmen Square and he’s lied about other things.”
In her view, his character is unsuited for such a significant public office.
“This is a very crucial moment in history,” Wang concluded, “and a man like this does not appear to have the character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world.”
