During a pickup basketball game in China, Democrat Governor of California Gavin Newsom was captured on camera knocking down a young child. He then “spanks” the youngster repeatedly after falling on him.
The incident happened during his visit to the communist nation.
The clip was shared by RNC Research, which featured Newsom (D-Calif.) dribbling a basketball, losing the handle and plowing into one of the children playfully attempting to defend him.
Additionally, a spokesperson for Newsom’s office said that the incident happened while he was at Yuying School, a public school in Beijing, where he was visiting to “see farm-to-school and other agricultural science programs in China.”
The incident happened during Newsom’s week-long trip to China, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing during the trip.
During a press conference after the meeting, the governor of The Golden State said that he and Xi discussed various methods to “accelerate our progress on climate in meaningful and substantive ways,” according to a report from CBS News.
Newsom’s representatives also maintained that the two leaders were “discussing ways to combat fentanyl use across the globe.”

How has the incident during Governor Newsom’s visit to China affected his reputation and political career?
Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, has recently found himself in the midst of controversy during his visit to China. A video of Newsom playing a pickup basketball game in China surfaced, capturing him knocking down a young child and subsequently “spanking” the child multiple times after falling on top of him.
The incident took place during Newsom’s visit to the communist nation, sparking outrage and concern among viewers. The clip was shared by RNC Research, showcasing Newsom dribbling a basketball before losing control and colliding with one of the children who was playfully attempting to defend him.
A spokesperson for Newsom’s office offered an explanation, stating that the incident occurred while the Governor was visiting Yuying School in Beijing. The purpose of the visit was to observe farm-to-school and other agricultural science programs in China. Nonetheless, the incident has raised questions about Newsom’s behavior and judgment during his trip.
During his week-long visit to China, Newsom also had a meeting with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, in Beijing. After the meeting, Newsom spoke at a press conference, where he discussed the importance of accelerating progress on climate issues in meaningful ways. According to CBS News, the Governor emphasized his commitment to collaborating with China on climate initiatives.
Representatives for Newsom asserted that he and President Xi also discussed ways to combat fentanyl use globally. Fentanyl is a potent and dangerous opioid that has caused significant harm and loss of life worldwide.
The incident during the basketball game has sparked concern and criticism, detracting from the Governor’s intended purpose and message during his visit to China. Newsom has faced scrutiny before, and this recent incident only adds to the controversies surrounding his leadership.
It is crucial for public officials to uphold a high standard of behavior and professionalism, especially during international visits and diplomatic engagements. Newsom’s actions in China have raised questions about his ability to perform such responsibilities.
As this story unfolds, it remains to be seen how Newsom and his team will address the incident and its impact on his political career. The Governor has faced numerous challenges during his tenure, and this incident adds to the list of controversies that have plagued his leadership in California.
In conclusion, Governor Gavin Newsom’s visit to China took an unexpected turn when a video capturing him knocking down a child during a basketball game surfaced. The incident has raised concerns about his behavior and judgment, particularly during international visits. Newsom’s representatives provided explanations and emphasized the importance of his discussions with Chinese officials on climate initiatives and fentanyl use. However, the incident has undoubtedly created a negative spotlight on Newsom, further complicating his political career.
