Walz Tells Students to HIDE -Downplay ‘Americanness’

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) allegedly advised exchange students traveling to China to minimize their “Americanness,” according to New York Times bestselling author and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer, during his appearance on Breitbart News Daily.

Schweizer discussed Walz’s favorable stance towards China with host Mike Slater, highlighting an exchange program Walz established, which is reportedly funded by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“You can like China. You can like the Chinese people. The question is, when you set up an exchange program, as he did, to bring students to China, you’re not dealing with the Chinese people, you’re dealing with the Chinese Communist Party,” Schweizer said. “And when you start to look at some of the, you know, activities involving the students, it gets slightly odd. I mean, you know, some of the local press accounts from the Midwest report that students were told by Walz, ‘When you go to China, downplay your Americanness,’ which is, is kind of odd, because if you’re having a cultural exchange, the purpose is to actually learn about the other culture.”

Schweizer noted that Walz was in favor of Americans learning about Chinese culture, particularly in the years after Tiananmen Square.

“You want the Chinese to learn about American culture, and certainly, you wouldn’t want to tell Chinese coming to the United States to downplay their Chineseness. So there’s that element of it,” Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, said, explaining that Walz also took some students as part of the exchange program during his anniversary — which is deliberately on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre. “And it’s designed to immerse Americans in Chinese culture, which is great. That’s wonderful, but again, you’re doing it through a CCP organization. These are known to be organizations that are designed to advance the interests of the Chinese state. And when you read some of the experiences of some of the students who said they were told by Walz to downplay their Americanness when they went to China, that, to me, reeks of the sorts of things that the CCP would want him to tell the students to do.
