But because who hubby is, Chao stays in her post and the corruption continues.

12. Considering her family connections

she NEVER should have been allowed into a government position. Considering WHO she married, it is obvious she will doo ANYTHING to advance her family interests. Her sister's husband is also a government officer. I guess the "family that grifts together, sticks together" or something like that. They are competing with the grifting tRump family to take over the USA.

with the Chinese. Her family is very to close to the Chinese leaders and used to vacay with the former head of the gov. As neither of them have any ethics or morals I think it's an open question.

5. Chao is as corrupt as the day is long

She's been involved in Republican administrations since Reagan, where she served as chairperson for the Federal Maritime Commission, which is interesting, because her father is a giant shipping magnate. She's been having conflicts of interest for 40 years.
