"Thirty-five years before Vice President Kamala Harris named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, he was on his way to teach high school in mainland China as a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square took place in 1989.
"As the events were unfolding, several of us went in," Walz said at a 2014 congressional hearing marking 25 years since the massacre.
He recalled meeting a crowd of people in a Hong Kong train station who were "very angry that we would still go after what had happened." But Walz, who became fascinated with China during his youth, saw it as an opportunity."
“I still remember the train station in Hong Kong,” Walz said at a 2014 event in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
“There was a large number of, especially European, I think, very angry that we would still go after what had happened, but it was my belief at that time that the diplomacy was going to happen on many levels,” Walz said at the 2014 event.
