Biden Not the Only Dem Taking ChiCom Cash
Don’t worry, Democrats. Even without the Big Guy, cash from our communist Chinese adversaries will continue to pour into your coffers:
Stella Li, CEO of BYD Americas, and BYD Americas itself have been major campaign donors to Democratic candidates and organizations in California and beyond over the past decade, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of federal and state political spending records.
Parent company BYD is based behind the Bamboo Curtain.
BYD Americas and Li gave more than $40,000 to the Democratic National Committee between 2020 and 2023…
Naturally they have also showered money specifically upon Joe Biden (>$30,000 for his failed 2024 campaign) — but Crooked Joe is not their only friend:
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom received about $60,000 from Li and BYD USA between 2018 and 2023.
As for the ROI,
Newsom drew scrutiny for his administration’s decision to give BYD a $1 billion no-bid contract to supply protective equipment during the coronavirus pandemic despite the company’s core competence being in a different business…
Speaking of California corruptocrats,
Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa received more than $10,000 from Li to help his failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign, while the California Democratic Party received approximately $19,000 from Li and BYD USA between 2018 and 2020…
Michael Anotovich, former chairman of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and an architect of California’s bullet train project, received more than $11,000 from BYD USA and its executives in 2015 and 2016 to help his political career…
Anotovich often governed in ways that benefited BYD, such as when he, along with Villaraigosa, steered millions of dollars from a Los Angeles municipal clean bus testing program toward BYD, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2018.
As we learned from Obama, when Democrats talk about green energy, they don’t mean green like leaves.
BYD also gave $25,000 to Californians For Safe, Reliable Infrastructure, which helped defeat a proposition to repeal a suffocating new 12¢/gallon gasoline tax. Like their Democratic Party partners, the ChiComs do not mean us well.
