How is this $300 million crypto deal like a Trojan Horse? Is Beijing deploying municipal digital funny money to lure US to capitulate on trade with Trump? You can be sure it’s reeking of influence oh hell yes.

Crypto, Corruption, and China's Clout

Let's be blunt. GD Culture Group reported zero revenues last year of its nascent TikTok e-commerce division. Now, they want to waste $300 million of taxpayer dollars on a meme coin tied to former president Donald Trump? And they’re paying for it with dirty money from some shadowy cabal in the British Virgin Islands? Come on! This isn't about "enhancing its balance sheet," it's about greasing palms. It’s about power. It’s not about China being China, it’s about China trying to tip the scales in its favor.

Think about it. This favors the argument that Trump is simply looking for a deal under which TikTok would be permitted to keep operating in the U.S. This deal throws gasoline on the fire. This is not merely a conflict of interest, it’s a five-alarm fire of ethical bankruptcy. The Trump family is becoming rich beyond dreams while they might just be selling US interests down the river.

Countries are balancing on a razor’s edge between the United States and China, eager to seize new economic opportunities but mindful of potential damage to national security. If China is able to purchase influence this simply, what does that tell other smaller countries in ASEAN? This isn’t only a US issue; it’s a worldwide one. It does damage to the integrity of all international relations and fosters an unregulated landscape for corrupt activity.

Southeast Asia on the Tightrope

Southeast Asian nations have proven themselves to be the true heroes of diplomacy, expertly juggling demands from the US and China against the other. This deal, however, tips that balance wildly out of kilter. If China is able to purchase influence with meme coins, what comes after that? Will ASEAN nations be next?

  • Will trade agreements be influenced?
  • Will diplomatic relations be swayed?
  • Will smaller nations be bullied into submission?

This is not only a financial issue, but one of control and power. And Southeast Asia is squarely in the crosshairs.

Demand Transparency Now

We deserve to know the full name and address of everyone involved with this deal. Just who is this mysterious sqlvm-4213 entity based in the British Virgin Islands? What are their stakes or ties to the Chinese government? What commitments, written or unwritten, were suggested?

GD Culture Group’s own SEC filings acknowledge that its Chinese subsidiary, Shanghai Xianzhui, could be subject to the control of the Chinese government. That’s like saying a volcano might erupt. It's a ticking time bomb.

We need answers. We need transparency. The only question now is: are we going to let the Trump family and GD Culture Group get away with it. Demand answers from your representatives! Call them, email them, tweet at them. Make your voice heard.

This is more than a crypto backroom deal — it’s about our democracy’s integrity. It’s about keeping powerful foreign governments from mischief in our democracy. It is about advancing the interests of the United States and its allies—including those on the front line in Southeast Asia.
