Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's relationship with China began when he taught English and American history in the southern city of Foshan more than 30 years ago. Since then, he has frequently criticized the Chinese government over its violent repression of pro-democracy campaigners, but that hasn't stopped Republicans from trying to falsely paint Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate as an apologist for tyranny.
"Communist China is very happy with @GovTimWalz as Kamala's VP pick. No one is more pro-China than Marxist Walz," wrote Donald Trump foreign policy advisor Richard Grenell on X.
