The Chinese have been cultivating influence amongst some of the most prominent American political families for DECADES.

The Bush family's China friendship began in 1974 when George HW Bush served as de facto ambassador to Beijing. As president in 1989, Bush worked hard to smooth relations after Tiananmen, sending a secret delegation to Beijing just a month later.

When Jeb Bush ran against Donald Trump in 2016, he was backed to the tune of $1.3 million by a Chinese couple named Gordon Tang and Haudan Chen who own a property development company in California called SingHaiyi.

They had already appointed Jeb's brother, Neil Bush, as non-executive chairman of their company.

Neil chairs the George HW Bush China-US Relations Foundation which has ties to a known united front body, the Chinese Peoples' Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC). This is an agency that forms an integral part of the CCP's united front work.

In June 2019, Chinese state media People's Daily enthusiastically reported Neil Bush opining that the US was using trade barriers as a "political weapon to bully China." He's on record saying that China is becoming more mature, and that US democracy is flawed and politicians are "brainwashing Americans into seeing China as a problem."

In short, this isn't new. He has been spouting lines as if lifted directly from the CCP's Propaganda Department for years and he is actually DIRECTLY working with the united front, having been personally enriched by these liaisons.
