Her husband points to his long term connection to the Dali Lama and support for Tibet as a negative influence in communist China. Nevertheless, the couple were viewed, as far back as 1997, as having strong ties to China. Feinstein has consistently been "one of the staunchest proponents of closer U.S. relations with China." Her husband "has expanded his private business interests in China--to the point that his firm is now a prominent investor inside the communist nation." There is a lot of background about friendships formed over decades in the above linked article. In fact, at one point, Feinstein and her husband were invited to "dinner with Jiang in the exclusive leaders’ enclave, Zhongnanhai." “We had dinner in Zhongnanhai in Mao Tse-tung’s old residence in the room where he died. We were told that we were the first foreigners to see his bedroom and the swimming pool. It was a very historic moment to see some of these things,” Feinstein told a Times reporter later. Eyebrows have been raised by the couples' intimate access to power. They get treated like foreign heads of state by their Chinese hosts. In China, “everything is personal,” said Arthur Waldron, professor of strategy at the Naval War College and an associate of the Fairbank Center for East Asian Research at Harvard. “That’s how business works--personal contacts, friends and friends of friends.” Ross H. Munro, co-author of the recent China policy book “The Coming Conflict with China,” said: “There is no doubt in my mind that, if Dianne Feinstein had a pattern of taking positions on U.S.-China policy that Chinese officials disliked, Mr. Blum would have a great deal more difficulty doing business in China and probably would find it impossible to do.” Newbridge Capital was the primary Blum business venture in China. In late 1996, Newbridge invested $14 million in Xuzhou W Food and Beverage Ltd., the leading producer of soybean milk in China and maker of the popular brand “Wei Wei.” Newbridge bought a 24% stake from Guangdong Enterprises. Another venture was a 50% stake in Guangshengyuan, a leading maker of milk candy and honey products. Their most popular product is “White Rabbit” milk candy. Okay, now for the loosey goosey connections. White Rabbit shows up over and over in Q posts. The name has been tied to pedophilia/child trafficking, to Hugh Hefner's CIA honeypot at the Playboy Mansion that is tied to blackmail and control of people of power and influence, among other things. Here's one more very loose thread -- a China connection by Di Fi's husband to food businesses, one with a favorite product called White Rabbit. I don't know what kind of business Guangdong Enterprises is, but I can tell you something very disturbing about Guangdong, China. From https://www.weirdasianews.com/2007/04/02/cannibalism-in-china-acceptable-if-for-health/ "...there are reports that the Chinese have been eating infant babies in an attempt to improve their health and beauty. The Next Magazine, a weekly publication from Hong Kong, is reporting that infant fetuses have become a popular health and beauty supplement in China. It is further reported that in Guangdong, the demand for gourmet body parts is so high, that they can even be purchased directly from the hospitals. Here's a very loosey goosey thread that may or may not connect to the Guangdong human meat market. In the US, there is something called the Cannibal Club, complete with website and "events." Here's the link: http://www.cannibalclub.org/events.html. Q mentions them in #3917 as tied to cannibalism and spirit cooking. Where do you supposed the club chefs get their meat? Might they import it? Might it be easy to hide inside imports of foods from long-time established food companies that have stellar US political connections/ protections? So many unanswered questions . . .
