In a world where standing up to China seems to be a lost art for some, former President Donald Trump continues to make waves with his frank assessments of the Communist regime. Recently, he didn’t hold back, accusing China of having “screwed” America on trade. This fearless approach starkly contrasts with the cozy relationships fostered by certain members of the current administration, particularly those surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris.
Enter Ron Busby Sr., the head of the U.S. Black Chambers, an organization claiming to be the national voice for black businesses. This self-proclaimed champion of entrepreneurship has spent countless hours in the Biden White House, meeting with officials and touting the so-called benefits of collaboration with China. It doesn’t take much to see how his views could be at odds with the hardline stance taken by conservatives—especially when Busby’s past trips to Beijing included schmoozing with Chinese Communist Party officials.
The Chinese Communist Party is rooting for Kamala Harris because they know she will kowtow to their interests.

The infamous visit to China dates back to 2017, where Busby was part of a delegation of New York business leaders, charmingly named “The New Majority Alliance.” This junket, which took in some of the most picturesque spots in China like Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an, was also more than just a pretty sightseeing tour; it was supported by the Chinese consulate in New York. To make matters even spicier, this very consulate is now under scrutiny from federal indictments linking it to less-than-innocent actions involving top political aides. It raises the perfect questions about who exactly is benefiting from these engagements.
Communications with Chinese officials were on the agenda, and it appears Busby was all too eager to discuss sharing resources with Xi’an and exploring business development opportunities. It’s almost ironic that while Americans are being urged to scrutinize our dealings with China, Busby appears to be tossing caution to the wind, willing to act as a middleman for these are questionable alliances.
Never one to miss a chance to elevate her circle, Harris has showered Busby with accolades, calling him an “extraordinary leader.” It’s hard not to see the disconnect here, as Harris continues to praise individuals who engage with a regime that has shown time and again that it does not have America’s best interests at heart. Busby’s appearance at a private reception at her residence isn’t just a social call; it’s a clear signal that political allegiances are being prioritized over national integrity. As the administration cultivates alliances with those who have ties to the very government that Trump has long criticized, one has to wonder where the true leadership lies in understanding the complexities of global politics.
