In a jaw-dropping display of global naïveté — or worse — Minnesota’s far-left governor Tim Walz suggested last week that Communist China should be the world’s “moral authority” in brokering peace between Israel and Iran. Yes, you read that right: the same China responsible for Uyghur concentration camps, mass censorship, and military threats across the Pacific is, in Walz’s eyes, the planet’s new moral compass.

During a June 13 speech at the Center for American Progress — a D.C. think tank notorious for its left-wing extremism — Walz lamented that America is “not seen as a neutral actor” in the Middle East, then pointed to the Chinese Communist Party as a more suitable global mediator.

“Iran has to retaliate, in their mind, I’m sure,” Walz said, sympathizing with a terror-supporting regime. “Now, who is the voice in the world that can negotiate some type of agreement in this? … Consistently, over and over again, we’re going to have to face the reality of — it might be the Chinese.”

The governor’s bizarre admiration for China sparked immediate outrage, but it also had another consequence: his decades-old affair with a Communist Party official’s daughter suddenly came back into the spotlight — and the details are as unsettling as his recent comments.

According to a resurfaced Daily Mail report, the woman in question, 59-year-old Jenna Wang, claims she and Walz had a romantic relationship in the late 1980s when she was living in the U.S. Wang’s father, a high-ranking official in the Chinese Communist Party, reportedly disapproved of the relationship, which only intensified the pair’s secret meetings.

Wang described Walz as “very passionate and very romantic,” but she also claimed the future governor was manipulative and dishonest. “Tim’s behavior was very selfish,” she told reporters, adding that she had wanted to marry him but he backed out, leaving her feeling “cheap and common.”

Even more disturbing is Wang’s allegation that Walz lied about being in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre — a brutal crackdown on pro-democracy protesters that China still tries to erase from history. “He’s lied about Tiananmen Square and he’s lied about things,” Wang said bluntly.

This scandal paints a troubling picture of a man who now holds significant political power in the Midwest — and once had his name floated as a potential running mate for Joe Biden in 2024.

Let’s put this plainly: Tim Walz praised a Communist dictatorship that silences dissidents, harvests organs, and surveils its citizens — and then we find out he once had a long-term romantic entanglement with a CCP insider. You can’t make this up.

While Democrats and their media allies are busy waving rainbow flags and preaching about “democracy,” one of their rising stars is openly romanticizing the world’s most dangerous authoritarian regime — politically and personally.

And if anyone thinks this story ends here, think again. When leaders start looking to Beijing for moral guidance, Americans should start asking serious questions about where their loyalties really lie.
