Joe Biden’s CIA Pick Allegedly Heads A Think Tank With Links To China – By Tyler MacDonald (Inquisitr) / Feb 9 2021
A Monday report from The Daily Caller noted that President Joe Biden’s nominee for Central Intelligence Agency director, William J. Burns, heads a think tank with “close ties” to China.
The piece noted that the Burns’ institute — Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — has received as much as $2 million from Zhang Yichen, a Carnegie board member and prominent donor who is the CEO of China-based investment firm CITIC Consulting. Notably, the donor is a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which The Daily Caller said works with the country’s Communist Party on policy issues.
Burns addressed the hiring of the businessman in a statement released in October 2016.
“We are very fortunate to have Zhang Yichen on our board. I look forward to working with him to make Carnegie an even finer institution.”
