In The News: “Opportunist Jon Ossoff Has A Sketchy History Of Cozying Up To Communist China”

aIn 2012, Ossoff used his Twitter to promote the CCP-controlled media, Xinhua News Agency, which has repeatedly denied human rights violations against the Uyghur people and spoken out against the Hong Kong democracy protests. In his tweet, Ossoff suggested people follow the propaganda outlet for information about China’s political affairs.

…

Ossoff’s tweet came just a few months after he left his position as a “national security aide” with top-secret clearance under Georgia Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson, a clearance level that he has repeatedly falsely claimed in campaign ads that he maintained for five years instead of five months.

Less than a year after his first pro-Chinese propaganda tweet, Ossoff shared a post detailing the Chinese People’s Liberation Army’s dietary and financial cutbacks.

“‘China’s current spirit of antiextravagance’ RT @XHNews: Military emphasizes frugality with new food rules,” he wrote.

…

In addition to his blatant amplification of communist China’s agenda through his Twitter account, Ossoff has also come under fire for failing to disclose payments he received from the PCCW Media company and its chairman, Richard Li, who strongly opposes Hong Kong’s quest for independence, for a documentary produced by Ossoff’s company. Ossoff originally claimed it was a “paperwork error” and eventually amended his financial disclosure to include the payment. Shortly after, however, Ossoff claimed that the payment, which was reportedly about $950, wasn’t required to be disclosed because it wasn’t over the $5,000 threshold.

…

Ossoff’s shady China connections have been likened to those of California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, who became politically and potentially personally involved with Chinese spy Christine Fang, who cultivated deep connections with U.S. Democratic politicians in the Bay Area for years to send political intelligence and personal information back to China’s Ministry of State Security, one of the country’s primary spying agencies.
