Sept. 8, 2020, Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement regarding a media report tying Kamala Harris’s husband to potentially shady Chinese business deals in the United States:
“Democrat vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris has some serious questions to answer about her family’s business dealings with China.
“Her husband, Douglas Emhoff, is a partner in DLA Piper’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice, a firm with extensive ties to China.
“Given that China’s intellectual property theft is one of our primary trade issues, it is disconcerting, at best, if her husband has been assisting the Communist Chinese Party in getting around our patent laws.
“What’s more, DLA Piper is directly involved in the financial integration of the United States with China at a time when Americans are demanding that supply chains for items like pharmaceutical products be brought home from China and that our retirement accounts and other individual investments be protected from unsafe Chinese assets.
“ Harris must provide a full and complete disclosure of her personal ties to Beijing, as China continues its efforts to not only influence U.S. public policy but to achieve economic and military dominance over the United States and indeed the world.”
