Emerging reports are now challenging Governor Tim Walz’s previous claims about his trips to China, raising serious questions about his account of traveling there in 1989 as a teacher during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations. This period was marked by the tragic suppression of pro-democracy protesters by the Chinese government.

This inconsistency was first brought to light by Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) and further detailed by The Washington Free Beacon.
