Biden’s CIA Pick, William Burns, Leads A Think Tank With Close Ties To China
Daily Caller ^ | 8 February 2021 | Chuck Ross

William J. Burns, who is President Joe Biden’s nominee for director of the CIA, is president of a think tank that has received up to $2 million from a Chinese businessman as well as from a think tank with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

As president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Burns also invited nearly a dozen congressional staffers to attend a junket to China, where they met with a communist party operative and a president of a Chinese front group.

Burns, who was paid $540,580 last year as president of Carnegie, will appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee for a confirmation hearing likely to be held this month. He has been president of Carnegie since March 2015.

During Burns’ tenure at Carnegie, a businessman named Zhang Yichen joined the think tank’s board of trustees.

Good heavens, did you see the video of Biden addressing 3 health care workers at a vaccination station? I couldn’t bear to watch more than 3 seconds of him repeating himself and senselessly blathering. It was frightening to watch. Cannot imagine him talking to Putin or Xi. It would be like them kicking a baby chick in a barrel.

I wonder how much of our nation’s security and secrets need to be given over to the enemy before someone has enough evidence to stop it?

I wonder if this is part of the plan too....

yeah... we need to catch him in the act of giving away all of our national secrets to China...

THEN we can arrest him!!!! yeah... he’ll get it then I’ll tell ya!

Good Job Q!.... Nice Plan!

It seems to be a current theme with this Administration..

Our politicians are bought and paid for by China. They have no shame about it either.

What did we expect from Biden and his merry band of Maoist Marxists, traitors, and moneygrubbers?

““Carnegie Endowment for International Peace”? Jeez... sounds like a typical communist front organization name.”

It could have been featured in that multi-page security clearance form back in the day that asked if you were now or ever had been a member of the listed organizations. I’ll contend that most of those being installed in high government positions today could not pass an old-school clearance investigation, if such a thing could even be properly and honestly administered today.
