Domestic terrorist Karen Bass has been doing business with ChiCom banks.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ transition advisory team enlisted two Chinese intelligence-tied bankers who have fundraised for her and a nonprofit she helps lead, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.
Bass appointed Dominic Ng, CEO of East West Bank, and Simon Pang, co-founder of Royal Business Bank, to her mayoral transition advisory team in December 2022, according to the City of Los Angeles. In total, Ng, East West Bank and Pang have donated upwards of $1 million to Bass’ mayoral campaign and the Mayor’s Fund For Los Angeles, where Bass serves as an advisor to the board of directors, according to the nonprofit.
While it is unclear what Ng and Pang did while serving on Bass’ mayoral transition advisory team, both have extensive ties to the Chinese government and have also been listed as holding positions within arms of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD).
Bass’ office did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Pang could not be reached for comment. A Royal Business Bank spokesperson declined to comment.
An East West Bank spokesperson acknowledged that Ng had previously participated in two Chinese government organizations, but denied his involvement in a third, when the DCNF asked about several Chinese government entities identifying him as a member.
“I absolutely believe that anyone holding a United Front position and then landing a spot on a mayor’s transition team is a huge red flag,” Sam Cooper, a Canadian investigative reporter and author of “Willful Blindness: How A Network Of Narcos, Tycoons And CCP Agents Infiltrated The West,” told the DCNF. “In fact, they’re often placed on these teams as a reward for channeling significant donations.”
“When donors connected to United Front groups have significant wealth and show up constantly around politicians, they’re there for a reason,” Cooper said.
The Bass administration’s Chinese government-ties have come under increased scrutiny from media outlets and China experts, like Gordon Chang, following a June 2025 DCNF investigation revealing Bass appointed the son of a Democratic fundraiser and CCP intelligence arm official to serve as the city’s liaison for Asian-Americans and director of commission appointments.
“Los Angeles is now a wide-open city for China’s communists,” Chang, author of “Plan Red: China’s Project To Destroy America,” told the DCNF. “Angelenos can thank the CCP sympathizer-in-chief, Karen Bass. Karen Bass resists federal agents and welcomes China’s communists. It’s very clear where her sympathies lie.”
The FBI and the DOJ should be all over that bitch like stink on shit.
Politicians and businesses in America who sell our national security to the ChiComs should be prosecuted for treason.
The Bidens used foreign deals and connections with Ukraine and China to enrich themselves. They raked in millions through business arrangements with ChiCom government entities. They laundered money, committed tax evasion, and violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The evidence collected from Hunter Biden’s laptop is more than enough to indict and convict Joe, Hunter, and most of the immediate family.
But we know that won’t happen. There’s one set of rules for Dems, another set of rules for everyone else.
While U.S. politicians and CEOs are treating Beijing like a business partner, the Chinese have engaged in cyber attacks, spying, economic espionage, and actual threatening of U.S. Naval vessels. Yet these traitors think giving them money, technology, and contributing to the Chinese threat are good ideas.
Propping up a communist totalitarian regime with capitalist dollars is suicidal. China is an enemy and should be treated as such instead of having the privilege of being a business associate. Doing business with a communist country will not transform it into a freedom-nurturing society.
A senior Chinese officer declared that China should ‘topple U.S. dominance’. Whether China can actually pull this off is a matter of great debate, but the fact that they have their claws sunk so deeply into us economically should be a wake-up call.
