When Tim Walz (D-MN) was a teacher in a Nebraska High School in 1996, he welcomed a delegation of Chinese Communist Party officials. Ye Guoqiang and Yi Hongtao, to “study the education system” of the United States.
James Comer (R-KY) has noted yet another CCP connection to Walz, saying, “Governor Tim Walz’s documented relationships with Chinese Communist Party affiliated entities and officials bears hallmarks of a CCP infiltration and influence campaign. FBI briefers recently informed the Oversight Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP subnational influence operations and activity that is similar to how China has engaged with Governor Walz.”

A new report claims that Governor Tim Walz (D-Minn.), the Democratic nominee for vice president, once allowed several officials with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) into his classroom in Nebraska while he was still a schoolteacher in the 1990s.
According to the Daily Caller, Walz greeted a delegation of three CCP officials, labeled as “educators,” in February of 1996 when they visited the Alliance High School’s social studies class. The purpose of their visit was to allegedly “study the education system” of the United States. But some of the officials were working at the time for a Chinese intelligence agency.
The delegation consisted of two CCP officials, Ye Guoqiang and Yi Hongtao, who at the time were members of Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education; they were accompanied by their interpreter, Ning Ziheng. While there was no proof that Ziheng was a CCP member, the other two delegation members had been involved with the CCP for decades prior to their visit.
Details of their visit were provided in large part by a newspaper article from 1996 in the Alliance Times-Herald detailing the delegation’s visit. The article even included a black-and-white photograph of Walz and the three Chinese officials in the classroom together.
