Tim Walz accused of having a secret relationship with daughter of former CCP official: Reports

Democratic Vice Presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz allegedly had a secretive relationship with the daughter of a former Chinese Communist Party official, according to news reports. 

The alleged relationship occurred in Foshan in 1989, and Walz has testified that he was in Foshan that year. But the relationship reportedly took place and ended before Walz took more than 30 trips to China when he organized a trip for his Alliance High School students. Those trips began in 1993, and the costs were covered in part by the Chinese government.

Jenna Wang, who is reportedly the daughter of a CCP official, said she had expected the romance to end in marriage, but was devastated by a break-up that led her to consider committing suicide, according to the New York Post.

“I was deeply insulted, hurt and I had to leave that place, because many people knew that we had a relationship,” Wang said. “His lack of character, as a man, a responsible person who had worked in education or [the] military ... I thought he also loved me. I loved him.” 

Wang said that the governor, who has not commented on the allegations so far, had implied that he was going to propose to her by asking her to send him a passport-sized photo that she believed would be used to obtain a visa.

Wang also authored an open letter to Americans to allegedly warn them of Walz, where she claimed that the two had met while she was a middle school teacher, and he gave her gifts. But they reportedly broke up over a disagreement about whether Wang actually loved him or whether she was after a visa.

“While, it is true, you had not promised marriage before you had arrived back in China, marriage was what I had assumed,” she wrote. “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.”

Wang also said that she had to flee China a couple of years after the alleged break-up, and moved to Italy. They never met again, even in Walz's subsequent visits to China, including for his actual wedding.

“Tim lied about Tiananmen Square and he’s lied about other things,” Wang told the Daily Mail. “This is a very crucial moment in history 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.”

The Harris-Walz campaign has not commented publicly on the allegations as of press time.
