Swalwell Receives Campaign Donations From Chinese-Linked Donor
Rep. Eric Swalwell's 2026 California gubernatorial campaign received another $25,000 donation earlier this month from Keliang "Clay" Zhu, a partner at DeHeng Law Offices, which has historical links to China's government. Fox News reports Zhu previously gave $5,000 in November and over $10,000 to Swalwell's House campaigns; DeHeng's history and Zhu's work with Chinese state-owned enterprises have prompted renewed scrutiny. The donations raise questions about foreign-influence risks.
Key Points
- 1Reports show Zhu donated $25,000 this month, plus $5,000 in November and $10,000+ earlier.
- 2DeHeng Law Office traces to China Law Office and maintains cooperation with CCP-linked government entities.
- 3Raises scrutiny over Swalwell's funding, highlighting potential foreign-influence concerns for election and ethics officials.
Scoring Rationale
Documented new donations and firm-CCP links increase scrutiny; single-source reporting and political angle limit broader technical relevance.
