Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) has been caught once again taking bribes from Communist China after an investigation revealed that a firm deeply embedded with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) secretly pumped money straight into the Democrat congressman’s California gubernatorial campaign war chest.
A damning paper trail now proves what critics have long suspected: Swalwell’s campaign accepted thousands of dollars from operatives with unmistakable links to the CCP, raising explosive questions about foreign influence at the highest levels of American politics.
Campaign finance records lay bare the stunning details—Swalwell took a staggering $10,000 from the California branch of DeHeng Law Offices PC, a powerful Beijing-connected law firm notorious for its intimate ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its influence operations abroad.

The latest filings, made public this week, show the transaction went through on December 30, when Swalwell’s campaign pocketed $9,999 from DeHeng Law Offices PC—conveniently listed under its Pleasanton, California address—leaving no doubt that Communist China’s money has found its way into one of America’s most vocal Democratic lawmakers.

Thenationalpulse.com reports: Keliang “Clay” Zhu, the sole partner at the firm’s Silicon Valley office, has a history of assisting Chinese state-owned enterprises in acquiring stakes in U.S. companies. Zhu’s bio highlights his role in facilitating over $9 billion in investments across sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), industrial automation, and biopharmaceuticals in the United States. He has also represented Chinese enterprises in negotiations with U.S. federal departments, including the Department of Commerce and the Department of the Treasury.
Michael Lucci—founder and CEO of State Armor Action, an anti-CCP nonprofit research group—criticized the donation and called for immediate reforms to campaign finance laws. “Congressman Swalwell must finally stop playing footsie with America’s foremost adversary: Communist China,” Lucci stated. He also urged Congress to define donations made on behalf of foreign adversaries as bribes and to impose criminal penalties on those involved.
DeHeng Law Offices is known for its longstanding cooperation with the Chinese government, including major state-owned enterprises and CCP departments. Several senior partners at the firm have direct ties to Chinese political organizations, such as the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), which operates as a key mechanism for CCP influence and policy consultation.
Swalwell’s previous ties to China have also drawn scrutiny. He was romantically linked to Christine Fang (Fang Fang), a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, during his time in Congress. Although Swalwell claimed to have cut ties with Fang after being warned by U.S. intelligence, Republicans removed him from the House Intelligence Committee in 2023.
