Long-time Democratic kingmaker David Brock’s American Bridge 21st Century Foundation accepted an anonymous donor’s gift of stock in a Chinese internet firm valued at more than $100,000.
The stock was in Baidu, a big Chinese tech firm closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that provides internet services. Baidu was founded by Robin Li, who is an influential delegate to the CCP’s Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, according to the Washington Free Beacon, which first reported the story.
