NEW @FreeBeacon:

Kurt Campbell was a director and Jack Lew is chairman of the National Committee on US-China Relations, a corporate-backed, pro-China business league that works closely w/ Chinese influence groups. freebeacon.com/biden-administ…

Two officials with the National Committee spoke at an event in January hosted by the China-US Exchange Foundation, an alleged front group for the Chinese Communist Party.

The National Committee calls itself an educational nonprofit that seeks dialogue w/ China. But its almost entirely backed by huge corporations that seek business in China, like Blackstone, Chubb, Citigroup, Disney and Facebook.

Chubb is a good example of the business model at play. Chubb contributes hundreds of thousands of $ a year to the National Committee, where its execs can meet w/ Chinese gov't officials.

These companies (and the National Committee, by extension) have to suck up to China in order to do business there.

This was Chubb's press release when it struck a partnership w/ a China state-controlled insurer in 2017. It said it would keep "in line" w/ two CCP initiatives:

Kurt Campbell, the National Security Council's Asia czar, was w/ the National Committee until May 2020. Lew took over in January as chairman. He was an early endorser of Biden and met w/ campaign officials last year.
