Revealed: 33 members of Congress sit on advisory board tied to Chinese Communist Party

This time, Breitbart is reporting that 33 members of Congress are currently listed on the "congressional advisory board" of an organization linked with a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) think tank, citing a Washington Examiner report.

The  Examiner reports that organization, the strangely-named Humpty Dumpty Institute (HDI) bragged about it's partnership with the Taihe Institute, a China-based think tank which employs a number of current and former members of the CCP and the People's Liberation Army as senior fellows.

In August, the Taihe Institute was one of three think tanks associated with China behind a report which referred to the United States as a "failed country" for our response to the COIVD pandemic, while pushing the false narrative that a military base in Maryland was behind the leak of the virus.

The list identified by the Examiner shows seven House Republicans and 26 Democrats sit on the advisory board, which "informally advises on programming and CAB [Change Advisory Board] members are active in HDI's domestic and international activities," the website says.

Breitbart reports that HDI has maintained a partnership with Taihe since 2017. HDI worked with Taihe on their first annual Taihe Civilizations Forum held in August of that year. HDI's CEO was present for all of Taihe Institute's forums, with the exception of the one held this year.

The Examiner reported:

HDI CEO Joseph Merante, a former career U.S. foreign service officer, spoke at the Taihe Institute's annual Beijing-based Taihe Civilization Forum every year between 2017 and 2020.
