Wednesday, October 30, 2024 - US Democratic vice presidential nominee, Tim Walz had a love affair with the daughter of a Chinese Communist Party official during his teaching stint in the Chinese province of Fonshan that was so toxic, it drove her to the brink of suicide, according to a new report.
Jenna Wang, 59, told The NY Post in a phone interview this
week that she had fallen head over heels for the Kamala Harris VP pick when he
was a young high school English instructor in Foshan, Guangdong province,
China.
Wang had expected the passionate 1989 affair to end in
marriage but instead, it resulted in a breakup that made her consider taking
her own life.
“I was deeply insulted, hurt and I had to leave that place, because many people knew that we had a relationship,” Wang explained, saying that Walz had implied that he intended to marry her.
That included sending Wang letters after returning to the US
over the following summer and even asking for a passport-size photo of her to
be sent back to Denver, she said, implying that Walz was helping her to obtain
a visa.
“His lack of character, as a
man, a responsible person who had worked in education or [the] military,” she
added. “I thought he also loved me. I loved him.”
The Daily Mail first reported on the allegations by Wang,
who said she left China for Italy only a few years after her bad relationship
with Walz.
According to an “open letter” Wang also authored seeking to
warn the American electorate about Walz, the two were “like husband and wife”
at first, sharing tea and holding hands privately, out of the watchful eye of
her father, Bin Hui, a labor union leader in her hometown of Guilin.
She said that her father Hui would have been upset to have
seen his daughter falling for a Westerner.
Walz, now 60, arrived in China through the nonprofit
organization WorldTeach and the two connected while Wang taught at a nearby
middle school.
The young lovers enjoyed karaoke together, and Walz showered
Wang with gifts including gold jewelry and high-waisted blue jeans, she claims.
But then he became “the type of man against whom a mother
warns her daughter not to get involved” with, Wang’s letter adds.
“While, it is true, you had
not promised marriage before you had arrived back in China, marriage was what I
had assumed,” she wrote. “Too, marriage was what you had led me to believe — as
well as led others to believe, including that female colleague of yours with
whom we had tea.”
According to Wang, the two had a disagreement over whether
she really loved Walz or merely wanted to obtain a visa, which she said came as
a “shock” because she had been willing to give up her whole life in China to
join Walz in his home state of Nebraska.
“I was giving it up to be
with Tim, to get married and start a family,” Wang told the Daily Mail.
“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.”
The pair never met again, but Walz returned to China in 1993
as the head of an annual summer student program connecting Nebraska and
Minnesota high schoolers with Chinese institutions.
Walz married his wife, Gwen Whipple, the following year
after returning to the US.
The wedding took place on June 4, the fifth anniversary of
the Tiananmen Square massacre, so the Walzes could “have a date he’ll always
remember,” his wife later recalled.
“Tim lied about Tiananmen
Square and he’s lied about other things,” 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.”
Representatives for the Harris-Walz campaign are yet to
respond to the allegations as at press time.
