Tim Walz, Democrats' VP Candidate, Criticizes China, Met Dalai Lama

Tim Walz, chosen as Kamala Harris’s running mate, has long ties to China but is also critical of its human rights record. He taught in China post-Tiananmen and often traveled there, emphasizing the need for the Chinese people to know American support. As a Congressman, Walz served on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, sponsored human rights bills, and met with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Despite his China connections, he maintains a firm stance on issues like the South China Sea. His selection is not expected to alter the US's hardline China policy.
