Tim Walz must answer as to whether he complied with security clearance requirements pertaining to his many trips to China.

Vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz exaggerated claims about how many times he traveled to China, telling people he spent much more time there than in actuality.

In China, local internet users have speculated that Walz was an undercover CIA agent responsible for stirring up the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, according to The Times. The outlandish claim appears to be premised solely on the fact that Walz happened to be in China at the time.
