Chinese Campaign Donors

Sign in to track this card in your collection.

Description

A Group added in a later printing of the game, representing a foreign political-donor network angling for the same kind of access and influence that other Corporate or Government groups compete for.

Conspiracy Narrative

Satirizes the real 1996 US campaign-finance scandal (sometimes called "Chinagate"), in which Democratic National Committee fundraisers were found funneling donations connected to Chinese sources into the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign, prompting a Justice Department investigation into foreign influence on American elections.
