Biden campaign co-chair's deep China ties may be liability as security, humanitarian concerns mount

One of the national co-chairs of President Biden's 2024 campaign has deep and longstanding ties to China's communist government, potentially presenting a problem for the president.

Katzenberg, the Democratic kingmaker who later founded the venture capital firm WndroCo, has an extensive history with China that may prove problematic for Biden as the 2024 campaign wears on. Perhaps most infamously, when Katzenberg was at DreamWorks in 2012, the company announced a multi-billion-dollar deal with the Chinese government to build a production studio in Shanghai. Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital. 

The deal, which effectively increased the number of U.S. films that could be released in the Chinese market each year, came just days after then-Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping met with then-President Barack Obama in Washington. Xi, now the head of China's ruling Communist Party, traveled after the Obama meeting to Los Angeles, where he met with Katzenberg and both men were featured at a ceremony inking the deal.
