A
report in
The Wall Street Journal
claims that individuals and groups with ties to the Chinese Communist
Party and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army donated substantial funds
to the re-election campaign of United States President Donald Trump, in
return for access to the White House.
The paper claims
that nearly half a million dollars were donated to Mr. Trump’s
re-election campaign on behalf of Chinese-linked interests soon after he
was sworn in as president in January of 2017. Some of these donations
were allegedly among the biggest made to the campaign. The list of
donors is headed by four men, according to The Journal, some of
whom are naturalized Americans of Chinese background, and at least one
is a Chinese citizen and American permanent resident, which means he
does not get to vote in the United States. He is believed to have
donated $150,000 to the Trump re-election campaign.
Many of these donations are gathered
through an organization that was created in the United States in 2017 to
help the president get re-elected in 2020, says the paper. Funds raised
by the group are funneled to Mr. Trump’s re-election campaign and the
Republican National Committee. However, according to The Journal, the people behind the organization have ties to Chinese diplomats in the United States, as well as to the Chinese state.
The paper claims that the money given to
the Trump re-election campaign earned some of these donors physical
access to the White House and the president in at least one occasion, in
May of 2017. Among those who were invited to visit the White House was a
personal adviser to Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Chinese
Communist Party. Others have ties to the Chinese Communist Party and the
Chinese People’s Liberation Army, said the paper. It added that some of
these donors have also attended Trump re-election campaign strategy
meetings and meetings of the Republican National Committee.
The Wall Street Journal
allegations came just days after Mr. Trump’s former National Security
Advisor, John Bolton, claimed in a new book that the president solicited
his Chinese counterpart for help in securing his re-election. In his
new book, The Room Where it Happened, Mr. Bolton claims
that the American president asked Mr. Xi to have China purchase
billions of dollars of American soybeans, so that farming communities in
the Midwest would continue to support the Trump ticket come 2020.
