Marie Newman\">campaign finance records revealed<\/a> that Pin ni, a prominent member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and president of the American branch of the Wanxiang Group, donated $10,000 to the Democratic Governors Association, which supports Hobbs&#8217;s re-election campaign. Critics argue that Hobbs&#8217;s actions undermine efforts to protect Arizona from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-orders-release-of-detained-columbia-student-mohsen-mahdawi\/\" title=\"Judge orders release of detained Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi\">national security risks linked<\/a> to China and point to her acceptance of campaign funds from CCP-linked individuals as problematic. Hobbs has a history of blocking anti-China legislation but recently signed an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >alternative bill addressing land ownership<\/a> by foreign adversaries. The article also notes that legal experts are investigating the legality of donations from CCP members, as they may not meet U.S.citizenship or residency requirements for campaign contributions. Hobbs&#8217;s office has not commented on these allegations. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">CCP member cut check to support Arizona governor shortly after she vetoed anti-China legislation<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2105086\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>After blocking a slate of legislation aimed at curtailing China&rsquo;s influence in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/arizona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arizona<\/a>, the state&rsquo;s governor appears to have been rewarded by a prominent member of the Chinese <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/communist-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Communist Party<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On May 2, Gov.
