Temu parent company led by top former Chinese Communist officials
NY Post
The parent company of China-based online marketplace Temu employs a bevy of former Chinese Communist Party officials among their top executives — raising serious national security risks, experts told The Post.
Temu, a competitor to Amazon, has made aggressive inroads into the US.
Its parent company, the Shanghai-based Pinduoduo (PDD) is listed on the Nasdaq and has a current market capitalization of almost $200 billion.
Among the company’s top leaders are Xu Mintao, a director of public relations, who was previously a senior official in the State Administration for Market Regulation; and Zhou Qingtian, a public relations executive who is former deputy director of the Regulation Department of the Shanghai Administration for Market Regulation.
Guo Hua, a director of public affairs, previously served as deputy director of the Trademark Office of the State Intellectual Property Office.
Hu Qida and Tong Lei — both former judges of the People’s Court of Shanghai — were named as PDD directors of legal affairs.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
