Pelosi Picks Chinese Communist Linked Immigrant to Succeed Her
And of course she hates America.
After months of resisting endorsing a successor, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the former House speaker, officially threw her support behind a fellow progressive, San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Connie Chan, on Monday. She is one of the party’s most successful fundraisers, and Chan is expected to benefit from her fundraising network.
Connie Chan is an immigrant from Hong Kong, her politics are well to the left and anti-American, and there have been some questions asked about her ties to Communist China’s propaganda infrastructure.
Chan’s 2022 decision, as District 1 Supervisor, to designate Sing Tao Daily—a national Chinese-language newspaper with a documented history of alignment with Beijing—as an official city outreach venue for Chinese-speaking residents.
This single administrative action, buried in a routine media-contract amendment, has taken on new significance amid mounting U.S. intelligence warnings about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) United Front Work Department (UFWD) and its sophisticated influence operations inside American cities.
Sing Tao Daily registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in 2021 precisely because of its role in advancing political narratives favorable to the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The episode is not an isolated footnote. It sits within a larger pattern of UFWD activity in San Francisco, elite-capture tactics documented in the Bay Area, and a broader CCP strategy that U.S. officials have described as the most expansive foreign-influence campaign ever directed at the United States.
It’s not as if Pelosi had any good choices here.
The alternatives here were Scott Weiner, whose signature issue is sexual creepiness, and Saikat Chakrabarti, an AOC-ite. Chan is not exactly a political talent and Pelosi will have to work hard to get her over the top. But the choices are between a Communist, a Communist and a Communist pervert. That’s Pelosi’s legacy.
