With the ‘election’ of Joe Biden there is now little doubt that our government has been bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
In order to pull this off the CCP needed to compromise members of our government. So, who are these individuals who chose to sell our our children’s birthrights for their 30 pieces of silver?
Would you be surprised to know that 15 of the 23 culprits that Peter Schweizer identifies are … REPUBLICANS? After seeing what the GOP did to Trump and the America First movement, I have to say, I am less than shocked.
Breitbart reported:
Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) 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.
Many lawmakers cash in after leaving office by becoming lobbyists for corporations and other special interests. But one would hope that they would not become advocates for America’s primary economic and political adversary — communist China — by lobbying for outcomes that run counter to the United States’ long-term interests.
However, 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.
1-Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH)
Boehner’s advocacy for China began right as he became Speaker of the House and Republicans gained a historic majority.
In 2011, Congress was in the midst of passing a currency manipulation bill, the Currency Exchange Oversight Reform Act, to hold China accountable for keeping its currency artificially low, thus making it easier to boost its exports.
China subsequently hired Squire Patton Boggs (SPB), one of D.C.’s most influential law firms, for $35,000 per month to block the bill.
SPB registered as a foreign agent of the Chinese embassy in Washington, DC, after decades of close ties to the Chinese government.
The Chinese currency manipulation bill sailed through the Senate with a 63-35 vote, featuring strong bipartisan support.
However, Boehner would not allow the bill to come to the House floor for a vote even though half of the House Republican Conference and an “overwhelming” number of Democrats supported the bill.
He even argued that the bill would lead to a trade war.
Schweizer said it “should be no surprise” that when Boehner retired from public office in 2015, he joined SPB as a “strategic adviser” to American and foreign clients.
SPB advised and helped Beijing navigate “issues that will threaten their interests,” according to Schweizer. This includes guidances on the defense appropriations process, the 2020 general elections, and American policy on Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang, human rights, immigration, trade, and sanctions legislation.
Boehner’s firm has also advised for Chinese government-linked corporations such as ChemChina, China Railway Stock Corporation, Huawei, and Wanhua Chemical Group.
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.
SPB also has strong ties to the highest echelons of the Chinese government; Nick Chan, a senior partner for SPB in China, is also a member of the ruling National People’s Congress (NPC).
“The NPC is the highest organ of state power in People’s Republic of China,” SPB explained recently.

Here is the conclusion of the article:
‘In Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, Schweizer calls for a ban on lobbying on behalf of Chinese military and intelligence-linked companies.
He writes that although “not all lobbying is bad,” that right does not extend to lobbying linked to the Chinese military-intelligence apparatus.
“Too many former politicians are making bundles of money representing these interests in the corridors of Washington power,” Schweizer charged.’
