Many of Clinton’s Chinatown donors said they had contributed because leaders in neighborhood associations told them to. In some cases, donors said they felt pressure to give…
The Times examined the cases of more than 150 donors who provided checks to Clinton after fundraising events geared to the Chinese community. One-third of those donors could not be found using property, telephone or business records. Most have not registered to vote, according to public records.

Bill and Hillary have always catered to China, accepted their contributions, secured their trade agreements, shared our nuclear secrets with them.
So, this should be of no surprise to anyone.
The problem with the libs is they are too lazy to read up in their icons or, don't comprehend what they do read.
And, even if they do, Hillary has everything covered with her Right Wing Conspiracy conspiracy.

It seems like a rather biased and racist article. So what if Clinton has been able to raise money from the Chinese community? The largest single contribution the article cites is for $2000. This is by no means evidence, as the article seems to imply, that the Chinese government is financing Clinton through Chinese Americans living in "gritty urban poverty".
Is it so hard to contemplate the Chinese community supporting the Democrats, whats the problem? It seems only logical that they would do so, considering the foreign policy of the current administration. Admittedly the democrats aren't much better, but you don;t get much of a choice in America.
This is just another example of the disgraceful state of journalism.

It is amazing how the Clinton's and Chinese donors go hand-in-hand. Nobody has the guts to admit that the Chinese government is funneling money into the campaign using these guys as a front, which is the reality of this situation.

Yes, and sounds like someone is applying pressure to them.

I think this is the real reason Republicans hate this broad. She´s effectively as sleazy and unscrupulous as any Republican. Not only her. Her POS husband too.
I can´t believe there´s people who like Hillary. She´s a beast who will probably invade a couple of countries to show what a tough gal she is. She may be worse than Bush.
Remember, Rubert Murdoch of Fox News is throwing fundraisers for her and even right-wing nuts like Charles Krauthammer think she ain't that bad as far as Democrats go.

lots of things bother me about Hillary, she's power hungry and a career politician ... which mean most of her campaign promises are lies, very similar to G.W. Bush
and its sad no one will stop her from becoming president ... but note to the conservatives that have enjoyed rubbing the last 8 years in democrats faces, payback is a ***** ... you guys gonna threaten to move to Canada now too?

oh how I love the smell of politics!!! You have to pay to play and if it serves their purpose ( to get her legally elected ) what harm does it do? This is a game for the big men and women and if you don't understand it, pick up your marbles and don't play, boys and girls!
Soft money serves a number of valuable purposes in the political system.
