Bill Clinton, China linked via his foundation
LAT ^ | April 13, 2008

NEW YORK -- As Chinese authorities have clamped down on unrest in Tibet and jailed dissidents in advance of the 2008 Olympics, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has taken a strong public stance, calling for restraint in Tibet and urging President Bush to boycott the Olympics opening ceremonies in Beijing.

But her recent stern comments on China's internal crackdown collide with former President Bill Clinton's fundraising relationship with a Chinese Internet company accused of collaborating with the mainland government's censorship of the Web. Last month, the firm, Alibaba Inc., carried a government-issued "most wanted" posting on its Yahoo China homepage, urging viewers to provide information on Tibetan activists suspected of stirring recent riots.

Alibaba, which took over Yahoo's China operation in 2005 as part of a billion-dollar deal with the U.S.-based search engine, arranged for the former president to speak to a conference of Internet executives in Hangzhou in September 2005. Instead of taking his standard speaking fees, which have ranged from $100,000 to $400,000, Clinton accepted an unspecified private donation from Alibaba to his international charity, the William J. Clinton Foundation.

Riady, Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie—al China connected. There has been a money pipline from the ChiComs to the Clintons for a long, long time. Bubba and Hillary can start by boycotting Red-Chinese money and not worrying about when and where the president travels as much.

Which aspect of this story is news?

- Clinton has been taking Chinese money at American’s expense for over 15 years now.

- The Clinton’s have been speaking out of both sides of their mouth for over 15 years now.

- American companies are more interested in profit than principle, and don’t give a damn about human rights.

I love it.
Hillarious will be buried in Alibubba Corp. diarrhea and Obama’s magic carpet ride has crashed in rural America.

Democrats are way over-done....take ‘em off the Political grill and throw ‘em in the garbage.

Yes. The Clontoons were bought and paid for via the Lippo Bank and the PRC Red Army.

The CLINTONS actively supported Communist North Vietnam’s GOD-less terrorist takeover of a then Free South Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
