America First Legal has opened a new investigation into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s “extensive, multi-decade entanglement with the People’s Republic of China (PRC),” the group announced in a press release on Tuesday. ...

In order to “shed light on Gov. Walz’s CCP ties,”  AFL is demanding all records, communications or calendar entries containing the term “Confucius Institute,” any communications with employees of the Ministry of Education of the PRC, the Beijing Genomics Institute, or members of the Chinese Communist Party, and any records related to Tim Walz’s connections with and travel to China.

“The Trump Administration and its bipartisan partners in the Congress had no illusions about the Chinese Communist Party’s nature and intentions. Accordingly, they took strong action to expose and terminate the CCP’s influence operations in the United States, including its many Confucius Centers around the country, and to protect our research enterprise,” America First Legal Senior Vice President Reed D. Rubinstein said in a statement.
