  1. ===The Clinton China Connection===
  2. unfinished
  3.  
  4. What does the Chinese government want? Influence.
  5. What do the Chinese Triads want? Authorities that look the other way.
  6. What do the Clinton's want? Power and money.
  7.  
  8. ==The 1996 Controversy==
  9.  
  10. >The 1996 United States campaign finance controversy was an alleged effort by the People's Republic of China to influence domestic American politics prior to and during the Clinton administration and also involved the fund-raising practices of the administration itself.
  11.  
  12. >While questions regarding the U.S. Democratic Party's fund-raising activities first arose over a Los Angeles Times article published on September 21, 1996,[1] China's alleged role in the affair first gained public attention when Bob Woodward and Brian Duffy of The Washington Post published a story stating that a United States Department of Justice investigation into the fund-raising activities had uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) before the 1996 presidential campaign. The journalists wrote that intelligence information had shown the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNC[2] in violation of United States law forbidding non-American citizens or non-permanent residents from giving monetary donations to United States politicians and political parties. A Republican investigator of the controversy stated the Chinese plan targeted both presidential and congressional United States elections, while Democratic Senators said the evidence showed the Chinese targeted only congressional elections. The Chinese government denied all accusations.

  14.  
  15. Basically, three factions heavily invested in the Democratic Party and hence the Clintons during this time period: the Chinese Communist Party of the People's Republic of China, the Kuomintang of the Republic of China/Taiwan, and their associated Triad/organized crime gangs at home and abroad.
  16.  
  17.  
  18. To understand the dynamic between the PRC and ROC/Taiwan at the time, read this except:
  19. >"Events such as the Kaohsiung Incident in 1979 highlighted the need for change and groups like Amnesty International were mobilizing a campaign against the government and President Chiang Ching-kuo. Chiang Ching-kuo, although a mainlander, pronounced that he was also a Taiwanese and also introduced many native-born Taiwanese people into top echelons of the party. He also named Lee Teng-hui, a native-born Taiwanese, as his vice president and likely successor. In 1986, the permission to form new political parties was granted, and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was inaugurated as the first opposition party.
  20.  
  21. However, a political crisis appeared imminent as the Ministry of Justice filed charges against the DPP for violating martial law restrictions, but President Chiang defused it by announcing that martial law would end and that new political parties could be formed as long as they supported the Republican Constitution and renounced both communism and Taiwan Independence. The lifting of Martial Law Decree and the ban on veterans to visit their mainland China relatives was approved in 1987; the removal of the ban on registration of new newspapers in 1988 was also a historical event.
  22.  
  23. After the 1988 death of Chiang Ching-kuo, his successor Lee Teng-hui continued to hand more government authority over to the ethnically Taiwanese and to democratize the government. In 1990, Lee held the National Affairs Conference which led to the abolishment of the national emergency period the following year and paved the way for both the total re-election for the National Assembly in 1991 and the Legislative Yuan in 1992. Full democracy in the sense that citizens are able to select their legislators, not just local officials, in free and fair elections was achieved in 1991 when the senior legislators were forced to retire. In 1994, again under the urging of President Lee, the presidency of the Republic of China was changed via constitutional revision into a position popularly elected by the people within the Free area of the Republic of China.
  24.  
  25. Under Lee, Taiwan underwent a process of localization in which local culture and history was promoted over a pan-China viewpoint. Lee's reforms included printing banknotes from the Central Bank rather than the Provincial Bank of Taiwan and "freezing" the Taiwan Provincial Government (i.e., stripping the provincial government of much of its powers and merging those powers into either the central government's powers or local governments' powers without abolishing the provincial government altogether). Restrictions on the use of Hokkien in the broadcast media and in schools were lifted as well.
  26.  
  27. However, democratization had its problems. During the early stages of the process, political parties were still banned, but independent candidates, some including those who had splintered off from the Kuomintang, were allowed to run for offices, provided that they would not receive any campaign funding from the party. As a result, many of these candidates resorted to borrowing money from businessmen, local elite, or even gangsters, in exchange for political and economic favors. This was the beginning of the "black gold" phenomena in Taiwan in which dishonest politicians were backed by businessmen and criminal elements at the expense of the society. In opposition to this, some former Kuomintang members formed the New Party to combat the Kuomintang, which had liberalized but had also introduced widespread corruption.
  28.  
  29. Another stage was reached when the first direct elections for the powerful president were held in 1996. Lee ran as the incumbent in the ROC's first direct presidential election against DPP candidate and former dissident, Peng Ming-min, which prompted the People's Republic of China to conduct a series of missile tests in the Taiwan Strait to intimidate the ROC electorate. The aggressive tactic prompted United States President Bill Clinton to invoke the Taiwan Relations Act and dispatch an aircraft carrier into the region off Taiwan's southern coast to monitor the situation."
  30. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Republic_of_China#Economic_developments
  31.  
  32.  
  33. Also consider that the PRC was just now opening up and liberalizing, starting in 1978 and not really manifesting until around the time of Bill Clinton's presidency. Also mind that the Tienanmen Square protests were only four years before Clinton took office. The PRC was liberalizing, reforming, and westernizing in synchronization with the ROC. Individuals and businessmen in both of these countries sought to capitalize on this with abuse of newly openly loopholes, and attempt to buy influence in the US government and hence the world economy.
  34.  
  35. The Republic of China/Taiwan is an enclave of the former Chinese government before it fell to communism, and despite being a small fraction of the nation of China it was historically regarded by the US as it's rightful government. As such, the majority of Chinese immigrants into the US since World War II are from Taiwan, British controlled Hong Kong, or Portuguese controlled Macau. However starting with Mao's successor Deng Xiaoping's diplomatic missions to Washington, the US changed it's recognition of the Chinese government from Taiwan/ROC to the PRC of mainland China. However the Triads and various pro-Taiwanese lobbies in the US complained and argued about this decision, all of these events culminating in a power struggle between Taiwan and mainland China for influence in the US, manifesting in the form of paid donations to the US government, corporate infiltration, and an explosion in Triad crime.
  36.  
  37. At the very center of this power struggle was Bill and Hillary Clinton.
  38.  
  39. Major Chinese Figures in the 1996 Scandal
  40.  
  41. - Yah-Lin "Charlie" Trie
  42. The most significant activity by Yah-Lin "Charlie" Trie was a $450,000 attempted donation from him to Clinton's legal defense fund, which Trie allegedly delivered in two envelopes each containing several checks and money orders. The fund immediately rejected $70,000 and deposited the remainder, but ordered an investigation of the source. The investigation found that some of the money orders were made out in different names but with the same handwriting, and sequentially numbered. The fund then rejected the donation entirely, and returned the deposited funds two months after the initial contribution.[6]
  43.  
  44. Born in Taiwan, Trie emigrated to the U.S. in 1974. He eventually became an American citizen and co-owner of a restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas. The 1997 special investigation describes Trie as having attempted to develop an international trading business (Daihatsu International Trading Corporation), having maintained or accessed accounts in Little Rock and Washington, D.C. into which Macau-based real estate businessman Ng Lap Seng wired >$1M USD from Macau and Hong Kong accounts, and as having never succeeded in the trading business (based on bank and tax records indicating substantive income only from Ng).[7]
  45.  
  46. - Johnny Chung
  47. Born in Taiwan, Johnny Chung went from being the owner of a "blastfaxing" business (an automated system that quickly sends out faxes to thousands of businesses) in California to being in the middle of the Washington, D.C. elite within a couple weeks of his first donations to the Democratic Party. Called a "hustler" by a U.S. National Security Council (NSC) aide,[9] Chung made forty-nine separate visits to the White House between February 1994 and February 1996.[10] One of his purposes in making these trips was to obtain photographs of himself with the Clintons, which he believed would help him to get business in China by giving people the impression that he had connections and influence in Washington—he used a brochure that included at least ten photographs of himself with Hillary Clinton along with a personal note from her.[11] During one of the Commerce Department trade missions to China, Chung befriended former Chinese Lt. Col. Liu Chaoying, then an executive at China Aerospace International Holdings, Ltd. Hong Kong (中國航天國際控股有限公司), which is the Hong Kong-based subsidiary of the government-controlled CASC (中國航天科技集團公司), China's premier satellite launching company. She is the daughter of former General Liu Huaqing.
  48.  
  49. Between 1994 and 1996, Chung donated $366,000 to the DNC. Eventually, all of the money was returned. Chung told federal investigators that $35,000 of the money he donated came from Liu Chaoying and, in turn, China's military intelligence.[9]
  50.  
  51. Specifically, Chung testified under oath to the U.S. House Committee investigating the issue in May 1999 that he was introduced to Chinese Gen. Ji Shengde, then the head of Chinese military intelligence, by Liu Chaoying. Chung said that Ji told him: "We like your president very much. We would like to see him reelect [sic]. I will give you 300,000 U.S. dollars. You can give it to the president and the Democrat Party."[12] Both Liu and the Chinese government denied the claims.[13]
  52.  
  53. Chung was eventually sentenced to 5 years probation and community service following an agreement to plea guilty to bank fraud, tax evasion, and two misdemeanor counts of conspiring to violate election law.[14] Chung asserts that, after his guilty plea, the Chinese government attempted to assassinate him with "hit squads" three times, but the efforts were foiled by the FBI.[15]
  54.  
  55. - John Huang and James Riady
  56. John Huang (pronounced "Hwä[ng]"), was another major figure convicted. Born in 1945 in Nanping, Fujian, Huang and his father fled to Taiwan at the end of the Chinese Civil War before he eventually emigrated to the United States in 1969. A former employee of the Indonesian company Lippo Group's Lippo Bank and its owners Mochtar Riady and his son James (whom Huang first met along with Bill Clinton at a financial seminar in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1980), Huang became a key fund-raiser within the DNC in 1995. While there, he raised $3.4 million for the party. Nearly half had to be returned when questions arose regarding their source during later investigations by Congress.[16]
  57.  
  58. According to U.S. Secret Service logs, Huang visited the White House 78 times while working as a DNC fund-raiser.[17] James Riady visited the White House 20 times (including 6 personal visits to President Clinton).[18]
  59.  
  60. Immediately prior to joining the DNC, Huang worked in President Clinton's Commerce Department as deputy assistant secretary for international economic affairs. His position made him responsible for Asia-U.S. trade matters. He was appointed to the position by President Clinton in December 1993. His position at the Commerce Department gave him access to classified intelligence on China. While at the department, it was later learned, Huang met 9 times with Chinese embassy officials.[19]
  61.  
  62. Huang eventually pleaded guilty to conspiring to reimburse Lippo Group employees' campaign contributions with corporate or foreign funds.[20] James Riady was later convicted of campaign finance violations relating to the same scheme as well, and was sentenced to pay a large fine. Shortly after Riady pledged $1 million in support of then-Governor Clinton's campaign for the presidency, contributions made by Huang had been reimbursed with funds wired from a foreign Lippo Group entity into an account Riady maintained at Lippo Bank and then distributed to Huang in cash. Also, contributions made by Lippo Group entities operating in the United States were reimbursed with wire transfers from foreign Lippo Group entities.[14]
  63.  
  64. An unclassified U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs report issued in 1998 stated that both James Riady and his father Mochtar had "had a long-term relationship with a Chinese intelligence agency." According to journalist Bob Woodward, details of the relationship came from highly classified intelligence information supplied to the committee by both the CIA and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[21]
  65.  
  66. The most well-known of John Huang's fund-raisers involved Vice President Al Gore, Maria Hsia, and the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple in California.
  67.  
  68. - Maria Hsia
  69. Taiwan-born Maria Hsia (pronounced "Shyä"), a long time fund raiser for Al Gore, California immigration consultant, and business associate of John Huang and James Riady since 1988, facilitated $100,000 in illegal campaign contributions through her efforts at Hsi Lai Temple, a Chinese Buddhist temple associated with Taiwan in Hacienda Heights, California. This money went to the DNC, to the Clinton – Gore campaign, and to Patrick Kennedy. After a trial, she was convicted in March 2000.[22][23]
  70.  
  71. The Democratic National Committee eventually returned the money donated by the Temple's monks and nuns. Twelve nuns and employees of the temple, including temple abbess Venerable Yi Kung (who resigned her post after being subpoenaed), refused to answer questions by pleading the Fifth Amendment when they were subpoenaed to testify before Congress.[24] Two other Buddhist nuns admitted destroying lists of donors and other documents related to the controversy because they felt the information would embarrass the Temple. A Temple-commissioned videotape of the fund raiser also went missing and the nuns' attorney claimed it may have been shipped off to Taiwan.[25]
  72.  
  73. The Temple event became particularly controversial, because it was attended by the Vice President Gore. In an interview on the January 24, 1997 edition of the Today show, Gore said:
  74.  
  75.     I did not know that it was a fund-raiser. But I knew it was a political event, and I knew there were finance people that were going to be present, and so that alone should have told me, 'This is inappropriate and this is a mistake; don't do this.' And I take responsibility for that. It was a mistake.[26]
  76.  
  77. In response, the U.S. Senate Governmental Affairs Committee that investigated the controversy said:
  78.  
  79.     The Vice President's staff... knew that the Temple event was a fundraiser. In March 1996, Deputy Chief of Staff David Strauss had helped arrange a meeting in the White House with the founder of the temple, Hsing Yun – a meeting which Strauss believed would 'lead to a lot of $.' The White House staff repeatedly referred to the event as a 'fundraiser' in internal correspondence, and assigned to it a 'ticket price' of '1000–5000 [dollars per] head'.[27]
  80.  
  81. John Huang's memo to Vice President Gore's assistant Kimberly Tilley specifically mentioned the Temple meeting was a fund-raising event. Mr. Gore later acknowledged he had known the visit was "finance-related."[28][29]
  82.  
  83. In the U.S., religious organizations enjoy a tax exempt status. Political activity is prohibited for such tax exempt entities. The Senate Governmental Affairs Committee also said they learned that Hsia had served as an "agent" of the PRC government.[27] Hsia denied the claim.
  84.  
  85. - Ted Sioeng
  86. Ted Sioeng, an Indonesian entrepreneur who donated money to both Democrats and Republicans, was the sixth individual whose donations were investigated by the Senate committee. Suspect contributions associated with Sioeng include $250,000 to the DNC and $100,000 to Republican California State Treasurer Matt Fong. Fong returned the money in April 1997.[30]
  87.  
  88. Sieong sat with Bill Clinton or Al Gore at two fund-raising events.[7][page needed] Sioeng also joined Fong at a meeting with then Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich in mid-1995. Gingrich called the meeting a "photo-op".[31] Gingrich was the guest of honor at a Sioeng-organized luncheon the day after a Sioeng family company gave the $50,000 think-tank donation, solicited by a Gingrich adviser.[32]
  89.  
  90. Attorney General Janet Reno and the directors of the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency (NSA) told members of the Senate committee they had credible intelligence information indicating Sioeng acted on behalf of China. A spokesman for Sioeng denied the allegations.[33] Sioeng left the country shortly thereafter, and no charges were filed.[34]
  91.  
  92. These are only major figures who were uncovered and whose donations were denied.
  93.  
  94.  
  95. ==The New Controversies==
  96.  
  97. A lot of time has passed since 1996, yet somehow the shady Chinese connections are still in the shadow of the Clintons.
  98.  
  99. =NG LAP SENG=
  100. A few weeks ago, a major UN official managed to crush his own throat right before testifying against Hillary Clinton. The U.N. reported his death as a heart attack, but the police say he died of a workout accident from a barbell.
  101. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-02/un-official-accidentally-crushes-own-throat-right-testifying-against-hillary-clinton
  102. John William Ashe was charged on October 6th, 2015 along with five others as an expansion into a probe against Chinese/Macau real estate developer Ng Lap Seng for accepting and funneling more than $1 million in bribes to facilitate Ng Lap Seng's real estate business dealings in the Caribbean. Ng Lap Seng is also directly connected to the 1996 Fundraising controversy, funding the DNC and UN, and to brothel and prostitution rings in Thailand and Macau.

  112.  
  113. =LELAND YEE=
  114. Remember that faggot from the 2000s who bitched about Rockstar Games like GTA:SA and Manhunt being too violent? Same guy who campaigned and pressed for the legislation to make any firearm that isn't as complex to load as a musket illegal in California for the sake of stopping gun violence? Well he was arrested in late 2014 for conspiracy to smuggle missile launchers and assault weapons into the US from a Filipino radical Islamic terrorist group and for accepting thousands in bribes from Chinese triads, some of whom are directly connected to Clinton fundraising.
  115.  
  116. Leland Yee was a prominent Democrat politician and gun control advocate, so it's obvious he'd have connections to the DNC. When he was arrested, the police also nabbed the Ghee Kung Tong Chinese Freemason/Triad organization and it's leader Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow.
  117. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leland_Yee
  118.  
  119. =SHRIMP BOY RAYMOND CHOW=
  120. This "Shrimp Boy" also lead the American branch of a Triad gang originally from Hong Kong, the Wo Hop To, which migrated to the US during Bill's presidency. Chow is under arrest and has been found guilty of over 162 crimes, including a murder for which he may receive a life sentence. Shrimp boy was an associate for a certain Norman Hsu who was one of Hillary's "HillRaisers" who managed to raise upwards of $100,000 for her and hundreds of thousands more for other DNC candidates.

  125.  
  126. =NORMAN HSU=
  127. Norman Hsu has a very troubled, corrupt, and shady past. He appeared from virtually nowhere to push and shuffle hundreds of thousands of dollars into Clinton's pockets. Even as early as 2003 he was already donating to the Democratic Party and the Clinton Global Initiative. Though the title of "HillRaiser" is obtained by only raising $100,000, when Hsu was arrested, Hillary refunded upwards of $850,000 in contributions, meaning that he may have been potentially pushed over a million dollars into her 2008 campaign alone. Even worse is that his money appeared to have came from nowhere. A certain "Source Financing Investors LLC" states that Hsu owed it $40 million dollars, and virtually everything he touched and said he owned has been shrouded in mystery and falseness. It would be safe to assume that Norman fell on hard times and swam into crime with the Triads to get by, which had him pay Democrats and Hillary /for some reason/. He dispersed hundreds of thousands of dollars which were never refunded to dozens of Democratic groups and candidates, all of which was most likely dirty Triad money being laundered through politics. What foundation do we know of is the best at laundering money?
