GET RICH QUICK MITCH - McConnell Marries into a Super Wealthy Chinese American Shipping Family

As previously mentioned, McConnell married a millionairess, Elaine Chao, the Taiwanese born daughter of a China / U.S. shipping magnate - James Chao. They married in 1993, after being introduced by Julia Chang Bloch "in the early 1990's" [it seems no confirmed date of first meeting], who is also Chinese, but born on the mainland in China. In the late 1980’s Chang Bloch was an Ambassador to Nepal in the George H.S. Bush Administration. As is typical of such posts, Chang Bloch departed shortly after Clinton took office in 1993. Chang Bloch later founded the U.S. China Education Trust in 1998, which fosters educational exchanges between China and the U.S.

Elaine Chao's father, James Chao, controls the Foremost Group, which is a shipping company. James Chao founded the Foremost Group company in 1964 with his wife. Angela Chao, one of James daughters, and Mitch McConnell’s wife’s sister, has been the Chairwoman of the Foremost Group since 2008. Wikipedia tells us that most of the company’s ships have been made in China - not the U.S. And it's also worth noting that numerous Foremost Group ships have been funded by the Export-Import Bank of China. Most of the information in the above two paragraphs were obtained from a variety of reports on Wikipedia, as well as the New York Times and Rolling Stone.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Elaine Chao’s Family & Fortune was Made with a Heavy Dose of Chinese Government Loans & Shipbuilding

According to a May 16, 2001 report in the South China Morning Post, James Chao went to school as a youngster in Shanghai, China with former Chinese President Jiang Zemin. James Chao then married Ruth Mulan Chu after both had moved from Shanghai to Taiwan sometime around the end of World War II. They had six children and in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s the entire family emigrated to the U.S.

Chao started the company in 1964 in New York [one office]. And in 1988 Chao ordered a couple of his ships to be built in China while Jiang Zemin was Mayor of Shanghai. In 1989, following the Tiananmen crackdown, Chao continued to meet with Zemin who became the Chinese President in 1993, after becoming the Chinese General Secretary in 1989. According the South China Morning Post, Chao’s ties deepened as he began chartering ships for two of China’s largest shippers, Cosco and Sinotrans.
