A National Guard soldier who served with Tim Walz alleges a classified manual for a howitzer capable of firing nuclear artillery went missing not long after Walz returned from a trip to China, in the 1990s.

Speaking to Alpha News, the retired soldier, who spoke on condition of anonymity, described how the standard operating procedure manual for the M109A5 howitzer, detailing the gun’s nuclear capabilities, went missing.

He said Walz was one of the few men with access to the building where the manual was kept and was “often the only one there.” The soldier believes Walz stole the manual and later returned it. The disappearance, which was never reported, coincided with one of Walz’s many visits to China.

When asked why the manual’s disappearance was never reported, the former soldier said that the battalion was more concerned with Walz’s neglect of key duties, because he was “double-dipping,” or working a full-time job when he should have been working full-time with his unit.

“He claims that Walz frequently neglected key duties, such as recruitment and payroll, which allegedly raised concerns to the point that a superior had to investigate,” Alpha News reports.

“The former soldier stated that the unit was more focused on those issues, and when the manual eventually reappeared, it went unreported. In hindsight, the soldier believes he should have reported it when it first went missing but feared repercussions for not addressing it sooner.”

The Chinese began developing a howitzer, the PLZ-05, with striking similarities to the US M109A5 in the mid-1990s, around the time the former soldier alleges Walz stole the manual.

Alpha News also draws attention to Walz’s arrest for DUI, which took place at the same time. Walz was arrested for travelling at 96mph in a 55-mph zone. Walz’s lawyer later alleged that his client believed he was being chased. It was never revealed by whom, but the timing is suggestive, perhaps, of a connection to in-person spying activities.

Alpha News contacted Walz’s team for a response to the accusation, but received no response. The Minnesota National Guard also provided no response.

Walz’s connections to China have come under close scrutiny in the media, and now the House Oversight Committee, under James Comer, has announced an investigation of his ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

At the beginning of August, Rep. Comer sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, demanding information on Walz’s links to the CCP, and issued a press release about the investigation.

“The CCP has sought to destroy the United States through coordinated influence and infiltration campaigns that target every aspect of American life, including our own elected officials,” Comer said in the press release.

“Americans should be deeply concerned that Governor Walz, Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential running mate, has a longstanding and cozy relationship with China. Mr. Walz has visited China dozens of times, served as a fellow at a Chinese institution that maintains a devotion to the CCP, and spoke alongside the President of a Chinese organization the State Department exposed as a CCP effort to influence and co-opt local leaders. FBI briefers recently informed the Committee that the Bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force investigates CCP activity that is similar to China’s engagement with Governor Walz. The American people deserve to fully understand how deep Governor Walz’s relationship with China goes.”

The press release goes on to detail how Walz began organizing school trips to China, funded by the CCP, in the early 1990s, and then set up a private company which organized annual trips to China, until it was dissolved days before Walz entered Congress in 2007. Walz has visited China an estimated 30 times, and held various positions of influence with regard to US-China relations.

A former student who travelled to China with Walz described him recently as “Maoist to the core.”
