There sure are a lot of Democrats in Congress with questionable connections to China.
Barbara Boxer, a former United States Senator from California has apparently taken a job with a firm in China that is known for surveillance of ethnic minorities.
This news is so toxic that even the Joe Biden inaugural committee has returned Boxer’s donation.
The Hill reports:
Biden inaugural committee to refund former senator’s donation due to foreign agent status
President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural committee is refunding a $500 donation from former Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) over her registration as a foreign agent with a firm alleged to have aided the Chinese government’s surveillance of the Uighur ethnic minority.
A spokesperson for the committee told Axios it did not seek the donation from Boxer, and that it would refund it after the revelation of her registration as a foreign agent, which was first reported by the Daily Caller.
“When I am asked to provide strategic advice to help a company operate in a more responsible and humane manner consistent with U.S. law in spirit and letter, it is an opportunity to make things better while helping protect and create American jobs,” Boxer told Axios.
Mercury Public Affairs, where Boxer serves as Los Angeles co-chair, filed documents last week registering as a foreign agent for its work with Chinese surveillance company Hikvision. The federal government has banned American companies from doing unlicensed business with the company due to reports it has contributed to monitoring of the predominantly Muslim ethnic group. Last year, the Trump administration outright barred U.S. investment in Hikvision.
First Eric Swalwell and now this.
Ex-Sen. Barbara Boxer has registered as a foreign agent for Hikvision, the Chinese surveillance company blacklisted over targeting of Uyghur Muslims.

Democrats need to explain why their party is so comfortable doing business with China.
Cross posted from American Lookout.
How many other Democrats are in bed with China. We already know the Bidens sre. This should scare the hell out of EVERY American citizen
Surveillance. Isn’t that what the Dems want to do here. People need to realize you will not change China this way. They will work through this to change you. I doubt when she took the job it was for the high moral reason she is giving.
I believe this is illegal for a former senator. This must be considered as a lobby position or an agent of a foriegn nation. arrest her for violation ofthe Logan Act or even treason!
She is a damocrat what do you expect.
Make no mistake, the swamp includes Democrats and Republicans. Corruption is not a one-party problem. Republican Senator Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao’s father has a shipping company with direct contracts with the CCP. And Elaine was the US Secretary of Transportation? Coincidence? We know all Democrats lean toward evil and are easy to spot, but that’s by design. The RINO Republicans are the real danger. RINO’s are the spies behind the lines that have infiltrated the America First Agenda and sought to take it down from the inside. This is not about Trump, it’s about exploiting, controlling and enslaving ever man, woman and child in the US, and by extension – the world. We are the last line in defense of liberty and freedom for the world. The longer this drama drags out, the more traitors reveal themselves. McConnell, Cheney, Sasse, Kinzinger, the list keeps going. When all is said and done, the Democrat and Republican parties will be dead. Only a handful of American Patriots will remain. And if we survive, and only if, then and only then will we be able to heal and come together as a nation. The purge that is happening should not be of our liberties and free speech, but of the so-called “leaders” that sow treason and sedition upon our nation. God Bless America.
This position pays better. Treason, her buddies in Congress will take care of her. Our so-called leaders want America reduced to a third world country where the elite will have all the riches. Us peasants will have nothing.
