The Biden administration has sent tens of thousands of dollars to a Chinese company to train a U.S. consulate in China on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies, according to public grants.
The U.S. State Department in 2022 awarded $42,780 to Schouten Education Consulting, according to USASpending.gov. Schouten Education Consulting was given these funds to provide a “DEIA training workshop” to the U.S. Consulate General Guangzhou.
