Pretender Biden’s Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has repeatedly spoken at the U.S.-China Business Council – a lobbying group that “serves the interests” of Chinese and American companies – even defending a controversial Chinese state-funded project flagged as a “national security risk” by the U.S. intelligence community.
In 2013, Vilsack headlined a U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC) event, “Dinner in Honor of the US-China Strategic & Economic Dialogue.”
Celebrating that relations between the U.S and the Chinese Communist Party have grown “stronger and deeper,” Vilsack also lobbied for the China Garden Project – a $100 million, 12-acre arboretum paid for by the Chinese Communist Party – in his speech.
“Not only will it attract people to the nation’s capital and the wonderful arboretum that we have, but it will be a living symbol of the strengthened relationship between our two countries and it will be a constant reminder to all of us about the importance of continuing to build on that relationship,” he emphasized.
The project, however, was flagged by The Wall Street Journal as being labeled a “national security risk” by the U.S. intelligence community:
The project, a planned $100 million Chinese garden at the National Arboretum, was deemed a national-security risk because it included a 70-foot-tall white tower that could potentially be used for surveillance, according to people familiar with the intelligence community’s deliberations over the garden. The garden was planned on one of the higher patches of land near downtown Washington, less than 5 miles from both the Capitol and the White House.
