China? LOL The Clintons are the KING AND QUEEN of Chinese money....

IT NOW SEEMS PROBABLE THAT DURING THE 1996 PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION, MORE THAN ONE-HUNDRED THOUSAND [DOLLARS] WAS
FUNNELED BY THE CHINESE MILITARY INTO THE CAMPAIGN ...
OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE.

THEN LAST WEEK, "THE NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTED THAT FORMER
COMMERCE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL, AND KEY CLINTON FUND-RAISER, JOHNNY
CHUNG HAD ADMITTED TO JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATORS, PASSING
ON A 100-THOUSAND DOLLAR CONTRIBUTION FROM A CHINESE MILITARY
AEROSPACE AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICER TO THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN.

Clinton's trouble with China began before his re-election in 1996. To defeat the Republicans, the Democratic party needed a quick infusion of cash to pay for campaign ads. Clinton turned to his Chinese connection, old friends Johnny Chung, John Huang, and Charlie Trie. They headed a shadowy cast of characters that funneled millions of dollars into democratic campaign coffers.

Bill Clinton took contributions he knew came from China, and played another angle as well. US companies wanted to sell China military technology, but the sales were prohibited by law. Economic sanctions for the Tiananmen square massacre and restrictions on technology exports prevented these companies from selling China the armaments they wanted.

In return for campaign contributions, the President shifted regulation of technology exports from the State Department to the free-wheeling Commerce department. The administration also relaxed export controls and allowed corporations to decide if their technology transfers were legal or not. When easing restrictions wasn't enough, Clinton signed waivers that simply circumvented the law. The President's waivers allowed the export of machine tools, defense electronics, and even a communications system for the Chinese Air Force.
