Tim Walz reportedly engaged in a clandestine relationship with the daughter of a prominent Communist official during his teaching tenure in China in 1989, as revealed by DailyMail.com. Jenna Wang, now 59, asserts that the vice-presidential candidate lavished her with gifts and charmed her at his modest staff quarters at No. 1 High School in Foshan, Guangdong Province.
Due to the political implications of their relationship, the couple refrained from public displays of affection, as Wang's father held a significant position within the Chinese Communist Party and would have disapproved of her association with a Westerner. Nevertheless, their romance flourished in private, where they enjoyed intimate moments over tea, shared passionate encounters, and listened to George Michael's music, leading Wang to envision a future together in the United States.
Despite the depth of their feelings, Wang claims that no marriage proposal ever materialized, leaving her feeling devalued and distressed. She described her experience as one of emotional turmoil, stating that Walz's actions ultimately led to feelings of anger and despair. Wang reminisced about their time together, highlighting the intensity of their love and the disappointment she felt when her dreams of a shared life did not come to fruition.
Walz's tenure in China has sparked significant controversy due to his inaccurate assertions in interviews and congressional records, where he claimed to be in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests from April to June of 1989. Subsequent revelations indicated that he did not begin his role with the nonprofit WorldTeach in China until August 1989. During a recent vice presidential debate, Walz, now 60, admitted to being a 'knucklehead' regarding the timeline of these events.
After several months in Foshan, Walz reportedly developed a strong affection for Wang, an attractive and well-educated English teacher at the nearby No. 8 Middle School. Their initial encounter occurred when Wang attended one of his lectures to improve her pronunciation. During this session, the then-25-year-old Walz leaned in and complimented her by saying, "You are very beautiful."
Wang recounted her impressions of Walz, describing him as very handsome and expressing admiration for his eyes and smile. She noted that their conversation following the lecture was filled with compliments about her English skills, which further deepened their connection.
My colleagues struggled to articulate complete thoughts, yet Tim remarked that when he closed his eyes and listened, it felt reminiscent of being back in America.
Wang had a connection with a fellow teacher on the same staff as Walz, which allowed her to visit him in his modest one-bedroom accommodation at the school.
As time passed, the couple grew increasingly intimate, enjoying walks in the park and attending evening dances where they were less likely to attract the attention of communist observers. They refrained from public displays of affection to avoid drawing the ire of Wang's father, Bin Hui, a prominent CCP official and labor union chairman in Guilin.
During the summer, Walz returned to the United States but maintained correspondence with Wang, vividly describing his experiences and teaching position in Alliance, Nebraska. Following Walz's instructions, Wang sent a passport photo and personal details to an address in the U.S., believing this was a necessary step in obtaining her visa.
Upon returning to China in 1992, the future running mate of presidential candidate Kamala Harris resigned from her esteemed teaching position, anticipating a new chapter in her life. However, their relationship began to deteriorate as Walz made awkward romantic advances in public, including an incident where he attempted to feed Wang a slice of pear during a ten-day tour of South China, which made her uncomfortable due to the attention it attracted.
While they typically booked separate hotel rooms, Walz insisted that Wang share his cabin on an overnight train. This led to an encounter with the conductor, who initially reprimanded Wang but retreated upon seeing Walz, who was treated with more deference as a foreigner. Upon arriving at Hainan Island, Wang confronted Walz about their future, only to be met with the suggestion that her interest lay more in obtaining a U.S. passport than in marriage, which she found deeply offensive. Feeling devalued and disillusioned, Wang ultimately left their hotel, contemplating a drastic decision rather than returning to her previous life.
On the bus journey back to Foshan, she made the decision to part ways with Walz and instead travel to Guilin to assist her mother in recovering from a recent stomach surgery.
Wang recounted, "The bus came to a halt, yet I remained seated. He urged me to join him for a conversation, suggesting we give our relationship another chance."
However, she firmly declined, expressing a profound sense of emptiness. "I refused to compel someone to love me, and I never encountered Tim again." Following 1993, Walz initiated annual summer trips to China for students from the Nebraska and Minnesota high schools where he was employed. He married fellow educator Gwen Whipple in 1994. Their paths never crossed again after Wang emigrated to Europe, where she currently works as a teacher, translator, and cultural mediator. She mentioned that they exchanged a few friendly messages on Facebook in 2009, discussing the trajectories of their lives. Now, as a mother, she feels compelled to speak out, asserting that Walz acted selfishly, jeopardizing her reputation and career with his unpredictable behavior. She criticized him for dishonesty regarding significant events, stating, "This is a pivotal moment in history, and a man lacking character and integrity should not hold such an important position."

This is a pivotal moment in history, and an individual of this nature seems to lack the character and integrity required for one of the most significant roles globally.
