Doubts Raised About Jack Lew’s Ties to China
Jack Lew, President Joe Biden’s top candidate for ambassador to Israel, has hosted Chinese Communist Party officials as chairman of the board of directors at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, according to the Washington Free Beacon. This organization promotes understanding and cooperation between the US and China and has been criticized for appearing on Chinese state television to criticize American foreign policy towards China. Lew’s views on US-China relations could impact his Israel ambassadorship, as the US competes with China for influence in the Middle East. The National Committee and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
