NY Gov. Hochul Spotted Waving Chinese Flag While Marching Next to CCP Official

New York Governor Kathy Hochul was captured on camera waving a Chinese flag while marching beside a Chinese Communist Party official.

This could have happened 10 years ago. We could have dismissed it like typical leftist idiocy. She might have worn a Che Guevara t-shirt or hung a Karl Marx picture in her office.

But this happened on Feb. 12, 2023 — just a week after the U.S. shot down a Chinese spy balloon.

Hochul was joined on stage the Chinese consul general Huang Ping. Huang Ping is an extreme CCP hard-liner, who has strongly defended China’s mass atrocities against Uyghurs. He also supports China’s claims of sovereignty over Taiwan.

National Review:

Huang has never been made a persona no grata in Albany and Manhattan by any of this. Huang and Hochul have been in touch since Hochul was appointed lieutenant governor for New York in 2019. In 2021, Huang called Hochul his “old friend” Facebook Post.

Hochul, in addition to her long-standing partnership with Huang, has also engaged with China General Chamber of Commerce. reportedly has close ties to the United Front Work Department. This is a large party apparatus that exerts political influence and interferes in China and other countries. Among the individuals on the association’s board of directors is an executive with Hikvision — a Chinese surveillance firm sanctioned by the U.S. over its key role in the Xinjiang atrocities and in China’s military buildup.

Hochul was joined by Sen. Chuck Schumer and Mayor Eric Adams, radical Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. The uncomfortable truth of the Uyghur genocide, the downing of the spy balloon, and the opening of a Chinese police station in New York City’s Chinatown were not mentioned by any of the speakers. In 2022, the FBI was raided and shut down.

Hochul believes that the U.S. is great friends with China.

Hochul is also a long-standing collaborator with Huang. Hochul also works with the China General Chamber of Commerce. reportedly He has connections to the United Front Work Department. This sprawling party apparatus engages in political influence work and interference work in China. Among the individuals on the association’s board of directors is an executive with Hikvision — a Chinese surveillance firm sanctioned by the U.S. over its key role in the Xinjiang atrocities and in China’s military buildup.

Hochul spoke of the U.S.’s and China’s. “beautiful relationship” During a speech for China General Chamber of Commerce, 2022. While there are some exceptions for politicians who cater to important constituencies like New York Chinese, Hochul and the other New York Democrats’ effusive praise of the Chinese Communist government and their toleration borders on sycophancy.

They don’t seem to be able to. “speak truth to power” To their friends, do they?
