John Kerry Has a History of Supporting Communist China (and other Communists)

US Climate Czar John F. Kerry could not have been happy with this disclosure that he has invested $1 million in a Chinese private equity firm that has “invested in a tech company blacklisted for human rights abuses but is also a major shareholder in a solar panel company linked to labor abuses of the Uyghurs.” This embarrassing news came at a time for the itinerant purveyor of all things green for the Biden administration, as Kerry attempted to play a prominent role in the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow late last year.

But then Kerry has thick skin when it comes to exposure as a “friend of communists,” as his long history of consorting with them evinces. As a reminder, Kerry is a former leftwing Democrat US senator from Massachusetts who made a habit of undermining US national security during and after the Cold War, was the failed Democrat presidential candidate in 2004, and was a failed secretary of state during Barack Obama’s second term. Will his record of failure continue as Biden’s Climate Czar? It is too early to tell, but this conflict of interest with the Chinese Communist Party could be a harbinger.

Kerry has supported the causes of foreign communists and enemies of America of all stripes during his long and execrable public career. Let us examine the record.

Vietnam Era (1966 – 1978). Kerry first achieved notoriety as a controversial naval reserve officer during the Vietnam War, a collaborator with the Communist North Vietnamese, and a war protestor. There is much controversy about his naval service and medals awarded, as well as his anti-war protests and phony war crimes charges, as was made public here by the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth in 2004 during Kerry’s presidential campaign. However shady, those acts pale by comparison with his collusion with the Communist North Vietnamese during the Paris Peace Accords in 1970 when he was still technically a naval reserve officer. That meeting was a direct violation of U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953 for which he was never held accountable. Kerry later even bragged about his Paris meetings with the Communists in testimony before Congress: “I have been to Paris. I have talked with both delegations at the peace talks, that is to say the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government.” A court martial would very likely have nipped Kerry’s pro-communist political career in the bud, but Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird ultimately for this and other anti-war activities.

US Senator (1984 – 2012). During his terrible Senate career, Kerry opposed every Reagan Cold War policy aimed at deterring the Soviets and even advocated on behalf of the Communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua in the 1980s, as noted here by the Los Angeles Times: “Many leaders had a hand in Washington’s Cold War triumph, but Ronald Reagan‘s contributions were pivotal, and Kerry opposed every one of them. … [H]e opposed our support for guerrillas in Nicaragua as vociferously as anyone in the Senate, even traveling to Managua to try to cut a deal with Sandinista strongman Daniel Ortega to thwart Reagan’s policy.”

Secretary of State (2013 – 2016). Kerry replaced Hillary Clinton as Obama’s secretary of state in 2013. Throughout his public career, he endlessly supported normalization of relations with Communist Cuba, and he made it a prior to break with past US policy by pushing to open a US embassy in Cuba. Obama shared his vision, and thus Kerry was able to make his triumphant visit to reopen the US embassy in Havana in 2015, much to the chagrin of American anticommunists and especially Cuban-Americans who fully understood the evils of the communist regime in Cuba.

Kerry also played a significant role in helping Obama negotiate the flawed “Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action” (the “nuclear deal”) with the terror-supporting Islamic Republic of Iran, which was never ratified by the US Senate. The IRI is fast becoming a major economic and political ally of the People’s Republic of China. As reported here, China and Iran have recently signed an agreement this involves “Chinese investment of $400 billon in Iran over a 25-year period in return for lower Iranian petroleum export prices.” Some have argued that, due to stunning concessions in the deal to the Chinese, Iran is becoming a de facto Chinese colony: “[A] secret element of the agreement has a military dimension: China will deploy 5,000 members of its security forces on the ground in Iran.” And Kerry helped lay the groundwork for the People’s Liberation Army to establish a foothold in Iran.

Out of Government (2017 – 2020). Kerry continued to negotiated with the Iranians and Europeans in order to prop up the JCPOA after he was out of government, as well as directly undermine official US policy, as President Trump withdrew from the agreement and reimposed sanctions on Iran. He almost certainly violated the Logan Act by conducting unauthorized negotiations as a private citizen with foreign government representatives, as noted here by Kerry’s hometown newspaper, The Boston Globe: “[Kerry] sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration.” As noted above, keeping the JCPOA in place was and is an objective that directly aids the PRC’s geopolitical objectives in Iran and the Arabian Gulf region in general.

Climate Czar 2021 – ). It was a natural act for Joe Biden to appoint his long-time political ally John Kerry as his Climate Czar. In an early act of perfidy, The New York Times noted that Kerry disclosed over 200 Israeli covert operations in Syria with the Javad Zarif, the Iranian foreign minister, according to audio tape excerpts. Was classified information disclosed with Zarif in discussing those cover operations? And who but America’s potential adversaries – including the Russians and Chinese – benefitted by these disclosures?

Back in April 2021, Kerry facilitated a joint US-China statement on the “climate crisis.” His portfolio includes pushing for green technology in the US and overseas, and his investment in a major shareholder of a Chinese solar panel company would appear to be a clear conflict of interest. As China is the top supplier of solar panels in the world, Kerry well understands the personal business potential resulting from the Democrat Party’s inexorable push for implementing the “Green New Deal” in America. This is pure corruption and a conflict of interest while providing economic benefits to a communist-run country.

But that is not the only Kerry-China corruption linkage. Just as Kerry and Biden were long-time friends and allies, Kerry’s step-son Chris Heinz partnered with Joe Biden’s son Hunter in 2009 to create a small international private equity firm backed by the Heinz family’s “alternative investment fund, Rosemont Capital,” as reported here. That small firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, was later merged with the Chinese government-linked firm Bohai Capital that was controlled by the Bank of China to form a new joint venture called Bohai Harvest Investment (BHR). BHR was able to secure a $1.5 billion business loan from the Bank of China. Part of that loan was used to invest in the automotive subsidiary of Aviation Industry Corporation of China, which is “a major Chinese military contractor accused of frequently stealing U.S. military technology,” as reported here. Political connections and corruption are the only explanations for how such business transactions happen. And who benefits? The CCP, PLA, and the sons of two top Democrats.

John and Chris and Joe and Hunter; the parallels are remarkable but not surprising. And the Climate Czar has extended his investments to Uyghur genocide-linked Chinese entities now, too. Just the latest in John Kerry’s political history that is replete with pro-communist activities.

The end.
