A new report claims that Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), had a secret relationship with a Chinese Communist Party official’s daughter while he was teaching in China in 1989.
According to The Daily Mail, Walz allegedly had a secret relationship with 59-year-old Jenna Wang in 1989. Wang told The Daily Mail that Walz repeatedly gave her gifts and seduced her while temporarily living in China to teach. Wang claimed that they were not able to show any affection in public since Wang’s father was a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party and would have disowned her if he found out about the relationship.
“Tim was very passionate and very romantic. I can still remember dancing with him to our favorite song, Careless Whisper,” Wang told The Daily Mail. “The fact we couldn’t touch or kiss in public just made it all the more exciting and intense when we were finally alone. We were deeply in love and I wanted to marry him and start a family. When it didn’t happen, I felt very unhappy and sad. Tim’s behavior was very selfish.”
Wang told The Daily Mail that she met Walz at one of his lectures, where he told her, “You are very beautiful.”
“We talked for hours and hours, we stayed in bed, we had sex. He continued to buy me gifts,” Wang told The Daily Mail. “I could never stay overnight because of the social conventions. It was very repressive. Couples walked around the city like robots. My father would have been very, very angry and sad if he had found out.”
When Walz went back to the United States, he allegedly sent multiple letters to Wang, who believed that Walz was going to help her get a passport to come to the United States. However, when Walz returned to China in 1992, the relationship reportedly fell apart.
Wang told The Daily Mail that after Walz made romantic gestures in public, she confronted him regarding their future together, allegedly prompting Walz to claim that she was more interested in getting a passport than marrying him.
“Knowing now that he wasn’t going to marry me made me feel cheap and common, as if I was being treated like a prostitute,” Wang said. The Chinese Communist Party official’s daughter ultimately decided to leave Walsh.
Explaining her decision to come forward with the accusations, 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.”
