Senator Mark Kelly started a Chinese-funded Spy Balloon Company
Senator from Arizona Mark Kelly has come under fire for launching a spy balloon company with funding from a Chinese venture capitalist.
RadarOnline.com can reveal Kelly, 60, co-founded private space and technology company World View Enterprises in 2012 with funding from Chinese company Tencent.
A World View spokesperson confirmed that the company had received funding from Tencent and condemned the investment, saying: “The current leadership believed it was a mistake for the company to accept Chinese investment when it had.”
“When new leaders arrived in 2019 and learned of that investment, they acted quickly to ensure that World View was protected from any involvement by representatives of Chinese investors.”
