Why would an automotive company based in Hong Kong be interested in donating money to a Virginia gubernatorial candidate?
On Dec. 4, President Clinton was paid a $300,000 honorarium from the company [1] (yet, his Secretary of State Wife is sure to have no conflict of interest in her dealings with China).
Then, just a few weeks later on Dec. 29, Jack Xi Deng, CFO of the company, donated $25K [2] to former Clinton advisor and DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe’s campaign for Virginia governor.
Coincidence? Just trying to get a leg up on a burgeoning industry in Virginia? Or, is there more to this?
