Why Did Lester Chang Accept a Trip To China?
UPDATE: The National Counterintelligence and Security Center issued warnings. Lester Chang was in the military. Why wouldn’t Chang take the warnings seriously? (See here)
Brooklyn please see (this article.)
Why do politicians think it is alright to accept a trip from a private group? Assemblyman Lester Chang and others went to China in December.
The American Chinese Commerce Association funded the trip. (Story here)
The Chinese TV stations widely reported about these politicians. (See their video)
And the headlines showed:
The trip was approved by legislative ethics officials, (Source) but why do politicians here think they need these trips.
Strangely, Assemblyman Chang didn’t share even one photo of the trip on social media, so I guess he didn’t see anything new or “learn anything.”
As we know, nothing in life is free!! What does this group want these politicians to do?
I really liked Assemblyman Chang. I like that he isn’t a politician, but I am disappointed to see him accept a trip (regardless of the group, NY politicians do not need to travel out-of-the-state “for work.”) I have written about both Democrats and Republicans accepting trips in the past!
Update: I thought there was something else strange about Chang, but I was incorrect. (See here)
