This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor. I welcome Thaddeus

McCutter, American Greatness, writing of the Governor of Minnesota, the nominee to be Vice President of the United States, Tim Walles, and a quote from

Tim Walles about his many years and conversations in the People's Republic of China when he talks about China's political system.

One person's socialism is another person's neighborliness. That's a quote. So I welcome Thaddies to help me

understand what that quote is supposed to convey about Mr. Walsh's understanding of the Communist China system.

And interestingly, John, his first trip to the People's Republic of China was shortly after

the Tiananmen Square massacre by that bloodthirsty communist regime.

And these are the people who were showering gifts upon them.

And it was at this point in time that the Chinese Communist Party intensified its

friendliest individuals and organizations covertly pushing the agenda of

the Chinese regime. Do it through ordinary looking organizations and activities.
