BEIJING – As a young American in China in 1989, Mr Tim Walz – US Vice-President Kamala Harris’ pick of running mate in the upcoming election – was one of the few foreigners living in the underdeveloped country at the time.
As part of a volunteer programme, Mr Walz, now 60, had spent that year teaching US history and English to high school students in southern Guangdong province.
