Texas Rep’s Anti-white Rant Resurfaces; Links to China’s Communist Party a Concern
A top Texas Democrat’s anti-white video has resurfaced on X, again raising questions about not only his visceral racial hatred, but also his ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and government.
In a video from December 2024, Texas state Representative Gene Wu, an immigrant from China, waxed rhapsodic about minorities crushing the people who “oppress” them, clearly saying that white Americans would get the shaft if minorities banded together.
But aside from the wink-and-nod allusion to possible genocide, Wu — the House Democratic leader — presents another possible threat. Media reports show that he and his wife, Miya Shay — a local television reporter, strangely enough — were boon companions with officials in the Chinese consulate in Houston. And when the Trump administration shut down the consulate in 2020 because it was a spy nest, the Wus were none too happy.
Indeed, a collection of Wu’s X posts suggests that his real constituents are in Beijing, not the Lone Star State’s 137th District.
We’re Coming to Get You, Whitey
Wu is clear in the video, which resurfaced on X a few days ago, and boldly suggested that he is a racial supremacist.
“I always tell people the day the Latino, African-American, Asian, and other communities realize that they share the same oppressor is the day we start winning,” he said:
Because we are the majority in this country, now. We have the ability to take over this country and to do what is needed for everyone and to make things fair. But the problem is our communities are divided, they’re completely divided.
And that wasn’t the last time Wu whined about “oppressors” or declared that those who support laws he doesn’t like are “racists.”
Wu strongly opposes alien land laws that restrict certain foreign countries from owning land in Texas, as the RAIR Foundation reported.
“I don’t have a silver bullet, but for alien land laws, one key is changing the narrative from the proponents’ national security fear to a rights issue,” he said in November 2024 during a panel on the subject:
Early in the Texas alien land law fight, even liberal Democrats discussed it as, why wouldn’t you want to keep Chinese and Iranian citizens in check? The community changed the narrative, saying, what did we do to you? Why hate Chinese people?…Proponents faced accusations of racism, got uncomfortable, and backed off…The Iranian, Chinese, Indian communities aren’t big enough to fight back alone. We grab all affected communities-Muslim ban countries, alien land law countries, all oppressed-and fight as one, not each other. Our oppressors are the same. … The day we figure out our oppressors are the same, we start winning.
Yet another immigrant imprudently elected to public office, Wu was born in Guangzhou, Guangzhou Province, China. His biography at the Texas House of Representatives website omits that important fact.
Links to CCP
Like far-left Democratic mayors Michelle Wu of Boston and Karen Bass of Los Angeles, Texas’ Wu has been linked to Chinese intelligence, which assiduously courts U.S. politicians.
As Texas Scorecard reported, citing the SavingAmerica4U X feed, Wu furiously opposed President Donald Trump’s move to block Chinese espionage from its consulate in Houston, which is just eight miles from Wu’s law office.
Trump ordered the consulate closed “to protect American intellectual property and Americans’ private information,” the State Department said. In other words, it was an espionage outpost.
“This is madness,” Wu wrote on X, claiming Trump was “trying to start an actual war.”
And “Wu’s wife, Miya Shay, also fit into this picture,” the website reported:
After the federal government ordered the consulate’s closure, she was granted an exclusive interview with Chinese Consul General Cai Wei. Responding to now deleted comments on Twitter, Shay appeared to be defending CCP espionage. “Everyone spies,” she wrote repeatedly.
Not surprisingly, Shay was also born in China. Despite the pro-Chinese remarks, she is still a reporter at ABC13 in Houston.
“In June of 2015, Wu boasted that he welcomed China’s Vice-Premier Liu Yandong to Texas in a speech at the Asia Society,” Texas Scorecard reported, citing Wu’s X feed. The site continued:
As previously reported by Texas Scorecard, The Asia Society started a Confucius Classrooms Network in partnership with a CCP government agency, through which they established classrooms across the country, including in Texas. Confucius Classrooms, like their sibling Confucius Institutes, are trojan horses the CCP developed to infiltrate our state’s, and nation’s, K-12 school district apparatus.
Wu has falsely claimed that the U.S. economy would collapse without hundreds of thousands of foreign students, notably those … you guessed it … from China.
In 2018, he opposed President Trump’s tariffs on his homeland because “some of the largest Chinese companies in the world have made Texas their home” and will “come to a screeching halt.”
Investigation Needed
Despite calls for investigation into Wu’s highly suspicious pro-China activities, when Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton will do so is unknown.
In August, Abbott filed a lawsuit to get Wu kicked out of the Texas House after he led a walkout, during which he and other colleagues fled to other states to avoid voting on a GOP-backed measure.
“We need to have a thorough discussion and investigation as to whether our legislature is seating a #CCP operative,” the Houston Conservative Forum X feed wrote in April.
Wu’s father, an X gumshoe reported, is an immigration lawyer. But apparently he isn’t a very good one, at least from one immigrant’s perspective.
“STAY AWAY,” a Yelp review says:
This lawyer is terrible. Not only did he give my family member incorrect legal counsel about the immigration process (and set him back years in the green card process), but Mr. Wu can’t even keep his client’s cases straight!! He’ll take a client’s money even though he knows it’s a dead end. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
