U.S. lawmaker calls for ouster of CalPERS CIO over China ties: letter
A U.S. Republican lawmaker on Wednesday urged California to fire the chief investment officer of its public pension fund, the nation’s largest, citing what he called the CIO’s “long and cozy” relationship with Beijing, and assailed the fund’s investments in Chinese companies.
In between the CalPERS stints, Meng worked for three years as deputy CIO with China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE), which oversees China’s U.S. Treasury security holdings, the website says
Citing an online article in China’s People’s Daily, Banks asserted that China’s Thousand Talents Program recruited Meng for the job at SAFE. According to the FBI, TTP is a part of “China’s non-traditional espionage against the United States.”
Western universities and research institutes are full of Chi-com operatives. Who do you think is paying for all of the hundreds of thousands of Chinese students to go overseas to study? Same with the Saudi and Iranian students. There are quite a few millionaires in China, but most of these students would be from average families that would find it impossible to pay the steep tuition fees and living expenses while attending a major U.S. university. This Harvard situation is the tip of the iceberg.
