NEW: @Motherjones has found another Chinese American Trump donor/fundraiser who tried to sell Chinese execs access to Mar-a-Lago. And the GOP has ordered him not to discuss his efforts to collect money for Trump.

Selling a few frocks in China is just a perk.

....This Trump funder, Xinyue Daniel Lou, says he ended up failing to pull off this venture, but he tells Mother Jones that he was trying to leverage his donations to Trump and his pro-Trump activism in 2016 by packaging a trip for Chinese businesspeople that would include a stop at Mar-a-Lago. I wanted to develop a high-end business because of my political contributions and my involvement in 2016, Lou says. He also notes that he has been instructed by the Republican National Committee to say nothing publicly about his fundraising work for the GOP and Trump, which included rounding up people he described as Chinese for a Trump fundraiser in 2017.
Well, at least hes honest about it.
What will the RNC do if he talks, kill him? Oh, sue him I guess
