Kamala Harris’ Vice President and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz According to a Daily Mail report, while teaching in China in 1989, he had a romantic relationship with the daughter of a top Chinese Communist Party official. Jenna Wang, 59, said her tempestuous romance with Walz left her devastated and suicidal.

Development is coming Days before the US presidential election on November 5thwhere Harris is running against Republican Donald Trump. It also comes at a time when Walz is facing backlash for falsely claiming he was in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

Walz worked as a high school English teacher in Foshan, China’s Guangdong Province, before moving to the United States and pursuing politics. He is now governor of Minnesota.

In her interview with the Daily Mail, Wang said her first interaction with Walz was when she attended one of his lectures to brush up on her pronunciation. She claimed Walz took off her headphones and whispered in her ear, “You are very beautiful.”

The duo soon met on walks and went dancing in the evenings. She said Walz would travel to Hong Kong on weekends and bring luxury gifts such as Ray-Ban sunglasses and jewelry.

“I felt like I was being treated like a prostitute”

Wang claimed their relationship occurred in secret because her father would never have approved of her union with a Western man. The passionate relationship led Wang, then 24, to dream of marriage and a new life in the United States.

“Tim Walz was very passionate and very romantic…The fact that we weren’t allowed to touch or kiss each other in public only made it more exciting and intense when we were finally alone,” Wang said.

However, she claimed that there was never a marriage proposal from Walz. Wang claimed that there were soon heated arguments over whether she really loved Walz or merely wanted to obtain a US visa.

She said the treatment eventually made her angry and suicidal. The unhappy romance led to Wang fleeing China for Italy.

“Knowing that he wouldn’t marry me made me feel cheap and ordinary, like I was being treated like a prostitute… I was deeply offended and hurt and had to leave that place because a lot of people knew that.” We had a relationship,” Wang said.

Walz married Gwen Whipple after returning to the United States in 1993. They have two children.

With Walz now the Democratic vice presidential nominee, Wang said he doesn’t have the “character and integrity to do one of the most important jobs in the world.”
