-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a prelude to war! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Johnny Chung tells all Secret meetings with Chinese military, stonewalling by Justice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- By Charles Smith � 1999 WorldNetDaily.com In an exclusive WorldNetDaily interview with Johnny Chung, the former Democratic Party fund-raiser and frequent White House guest reveals how he became immersed in international intrigue, illegally channeled Chinese military money to the president, and later cooperated with the Justice Department -- only to run into a brick wall around the president. An Asian-American businessman from Southern California, Chung wanted his company to be a success. In his pursuit of the American dream, Chung found himself inside the Clinton White House with Chinese Army officers. "I am not a Chinese agent," Johnny Chung said firmly. "I want to make it clear to every single person that I have told the truth. America has a right to know the truth. Make sure that all the details are clear." "Now when I look back on it all," said Chung, reflecting on the events, "I was trying to 'put powder on my face.' I was trying to look good by inviting big businessmen from Asian companies inside the White House. The access to President Clinton made me and my business look good. In Asia you need to get close to people in power. I found much the same to be true in Washington, D.C." Chung made it clear that his access to the flower of American political power, the Oval Office, made him popular. Suddenly, Chung became all too popular in the wrong circles. "It was my 57 trips to the White House that attracted the Chinese army attention," stated Chung. "Attracted Colonel Liu Chao Ying. At first, all I knew was she was the daughter of a famous Chinese General. I did not know she too was a Chinese officer. I thought she was no different than, say, the daughter of Gen. Colin Powell. She said she would help my business." "On Aug. 7, 1996, I went on a trip to Hong Kong with my daughter and her girlfriend," said Chung. "Just me, father Chung, and two teen-age girls. On Aug. 11, we took a shopping tour of Zhuhai, a city across the border from Macau, inside red China." "Suddenly I received an urgent phone call from Liu Chao Ying," explained Chung. "She said I had to have dinner in Hong Kong with a very important man from Beijing. I accepted and left Zhuhai by ferry, leaving my daughter with a close friend of mine who lives on the mainland." "Liu Chao Ying picked me up in her car in Hong Kong and took me to the restaurant," explained Chung. "She told me that the man we were going to meet with was very important. Liu said that I should talk myself up and she encouraged me to show him my brochure. Liu Chao Ying told me that I was much more impressive than Charlie Trie, because I had better connections than Trie." "At the restaurant, Liu made a cell phone call from the basement," noted Chung. "I asked her how she could make a cell call from the basement. She said there was special antenna. I thought this was certainly curious." "When the man arrived," said Chung, "he came in through the kitchen, not the street. I thought this was odd. He said my name is 'Mr. Xu' which was his way of saying my name is 'Mr. Smith'. He seemed to be very powerful and Liu acted as if she were his subordinate." "I told him about a recent trip to Washington, D.C., where I met with President Clinton and he listened carefully. Then he told me three things: 'We really like your president. We would like to see him re-elected. I will give you $300,000 U.S. dollars and you give it to the president and the Democrat Party.'" "I was somewhat startled by this proposal, and I wondered who this man really was," said Chung. "I knew this was not right. I also began to wonder about my child. I wondered if I needed to worry about her safety. I certainly didn't want to insult this guy or insult Liu, so I kept my mouth shut." "The man then left through the kitchen," said Chung. "When we left, no one paid the bill." "I really wanted to know who this man was," said Chung firmly. "However, Liu urged me to be quiet. When I got in the car with her, she put her finger up to her lips, noting that I should not talk while in the car with the driver." "After we got out of the car, she pulled me aside and told me who the mystery man was. She told me his name was Gen. Ji, the military intelligence director of the People's Liberation Army!" exclaimed Chung. "At this point, I knew it was bad," said Chung. "Now I was really worried about my kid in Zhuhai. I know what the Chinese army can do to innocent people. I knew that I had to get my kid and her friend out of Zhuhai at once. "Two days later I met with Gen. Ji again, this time at their hotel next to mine in Hong Kong," said Chung. "It was there he ordered Liu to wire me the $300,000. Gen. Ji said to her in front of me 'I will wire you the $300,000 and you can wire it to him. I need a receipt so I can report to the organization.' "One week after I gave my testimony to Congress, Gen. Ji was demoted," said Chung with some satisfaction. "He went from director of the Chinese army intelligence to being a teacher." "Let my banking records speak for themselves," stated Chung flatly. "My banking records are the proof the money came from the Chinese army. I gave all my records to the Department of Justice, but they have yet to give them to Congress." One China specialist confirmed Chung's fears about Zhuhai and the Chinese army. "Zhuhai is a military city. It is controlled by the People's Liberation Army," stated William Triplett, co-author of a new book "Red Dragon Rising." "Chung should have been under surveillance by PLA intelligence agents with General Ji the whole time," added Triplett. "The PLA operation against America is very similar to our successful use of American organized crime bosses, the so-called 'Mafia', to penetrate Sicily and Italy during World War II." In addition, Chung's assertion that his banking records were not turned over to Congress by the Justice Department is also true, according to a former House prosecutor. "We were unable to get anything out of the Department of Justice," stated David Schippers, who prosecuted President Clinton during the 1998 impeachment trial. "DOJ put up a brick wall," Schippers told WorldNetDaily. "We had zero cooperation from DOJ. We got no records on Johnny Chung." However, one thing Chung made very clear is that he still fears the powerful Chinese army. In 1998, Robert Luu, a suspected Chinese operative, approached Chung. Over the course of several meetings, Luu asked Chung to engage in a cover-up -- to hide the sources of the money he had funneled to the Democrat party in the 1996 campaign. "I cooperated with the FBI," said Chung. "In the summer of 1997 I gave the Department of Justice all of my banking records voluntarily. On March 9, 1998, I pled guilty and was immediately approached by Robert Luu." "I wore an FBI microphone when I met with Robert Luu," explained Chung. "I was 'scripted' by the Department of Justice and the FBI. Everything I said and did at that point was scripted by the Department of Justice and the FBI. I did exactly what they told me. "At one of the first meetings, Robert Luu asked me to keep quiet," explained Chung. "He told me to take the FBI around and around in circles. Robert Luu made it clear that he got his salary from Beijing. He told me to keep my mouth shut and everything would be fine. He said if I did remain silent I could retire in style. "He then asked me about my health, and about my wife and family," said Chung. "He even hinted at a Presidential pardon for me. He said that high ranking officials in Beijing and in Washington agreed that I would get a presidential pardon if I went to jail. "However," said Chung. "During the next meeting, Luu told me he knew that he was being taped. He knew about the FBI surveillance from inside. "After that, I was told by an assistant U.S. attorney, 'This case is over.' I asked him what I should do if someone tried to kill me. He said to call 911," stated Chung with disgust. "The 'call 911' statement came from the same guy who also prosecuted another of Beijing's 'postal-boys' from Los Angeles in the Clinton campaign finance scandal. "Have there been threats on my life?" asked Chung. "I am under government protection because I will not remain silent. On March 20, 1999, the FBI arrested one man with a gun who tried to get to me at my office. My thanks go out to the brave FBI. It doesn't take much imagination to figure out who would benefit from silencing me forever." "I want to correct some things," said Chung. "I refuse to be a scapegoat. I was never an agent for COSCO (China Ocean Shipping Company), the Chinese shipping firm that tried to buy the port in Long Beach. I don't know any COSCO people. I do not know Li Ka-Shing. The COSCO story is a disinformation campaign run by the real people who supported the Long Beach purchase." "I am thousands of dollars in debt," said Chung. "There is a lien on my business. I don't know how to put food on the table for my family. Yet, I did not run. I did not hide. I am willing to face the heat because I made a mistake. I am willing to pay the price because I am an American." In November 1999, the California Franchise Tax Board initiated a lien against Chung's company. Interestingly, the "lien" on Chung's business came 48 hours after he made a speech for at a Judicial Watch conference. Chung believes the financial pressure may be coming from a level much higher than California. "I have a message for them," said Chung. "You can put a lien on my property, but you can't put a lien on my soul. You can't put a lien on my love for America." **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
