(LifeSiteNews) — In September, 1989, Tim Walz first arrived, wide-eyed and admiring, in the People’s Republic of China.

Groomed by Communist Party officials, who were eager to recruit foreign “friends” in the aftermath of the June 4 Tiananmen Massacre, he was overwhelmed by the attention lavished upon him. “I have never been treated so well in my entire life,” he gushed in 1991.

Apparently it never occurred to him that his newfound friends had their own agendas.

But one would think that when a “friend” in the Chinese Foreign Ministry offered to help fund an educational exchange program for his American high school students, it would have caused him to take a step back.

When does a “good friend” of China go from being a “useful idiot” to being a “fellow traveler”?

Probably when he allows himself to be used as a tool by the Chinese Communist Party for indoctrinating American youth, especially if there is money on the table.

And indoctrinate students he did. For decades, Walz told his students that “communism” in China meant that “everyone is the same and everyone shares. The doctor and the construction worker make the same.”

What about Party officials, farm boy?

Did this Nebraska hayseed never read Animal Farm? Doesn’t he understand, in George Orwell’s parable, that “some animals are more equal than others?”

Was he not feted at banquets by Communist Party officials who consumed more meat in a night than most Chinese would see in their rice bowls in a month?

But it gets worse. Walz went on to miseducate his students – both on China trips and in his American classrooms – even further. He would tell them that “The Chinese government … provide(s) housing and 30 pounds of rice per month. They get [free] food and housing.”

Now you understand why he and Kamala support rationing, since it worked so well in China. Except … it didn’t.

China’s hundreds of millions of villagers were told in 1959 that they could eat their fill in the newly established commune kitchens. Scarcely believing their luck, they gorged themselves for the next year.

Then the “free” food ran out, and they were sent home to starve.

Over the next two years, the Chinese people experienced the worst famine in human history. Entire villages perished. Cannibalism was common. In all, 45 million people starved to death.

So much for communism’s promise of free food.

Walz also tried to justify the one-child policy by saying that “the Chinese population was so large,” and that the only consequence for violating it was that “the family pays a tax.”

But hundreds of millions of Chinese women didn’t just pay a tax, they got the axe. Their babies were ripped out of their wombs by cesarean section by Red doctors who went on to sever the fallopian tubes of those who violated the one-child policy.

I am an eyewitness to such human rights violations, which were occurring throughout the years that Walz was making his dozens of trips to China.

There is no way that Walz could not have known about the longest-running political campaign in China’s recent history, one that affected every family in China.

For 36 years, China treated unborn children as “enemies of the state” and slaughtered them by the hundreds of millions.

Even a wide-eyed Nebraska farm boy, completely bamboozled by his Party handlers, would have noticed.

Are Tim Walz’ views of China any different now, one wonders?

The evidence is not encouraging.

As governor of Minnesota, he seems to have looked to China for inspiration during the COVID lockdowns. Why else would he have locked people in their homes for an extended period of time or told police to shoot paintballs at people who dared to come outside to get a little fresh air?

Also troubling was his willingness to repeal a law protecting women against being coerced into an abortion.

This means that, thanks to Walz, a man in Minnesota can force a pregnant girlfriend to have an abortion without consequences, just as Chinese officials for decades forced women to have abortions without consequences.

As far as China itself is concerned, Walz has repeatedly urged that we do not regard it as an “adversary.”

But an adversary it is. And an adversary it will always be – as long as it is ruled by the Chinese Communist Party that Tim Walz, apparently, still regards with admiration.
