Cruise replied, “How about we bet on a Chinese dinner instead?”
The “Chinese dinner” zinger was a reference to a dispute Swalwell had wrapped up a few years earlier with a Chinese national named Feng Feng or Christine Feng. Intelligence officials told Axios at the time that Fang used campaign fundraising, networking, rallies and romantic relationships with at least two Midwestern mayors to gain proximity to political power.
Feng allegedly participated in fundraising for Swell’s 2014 re-election campaign, although he did not donate nor was there evidence of illegal contributions.

According to Axios, investigators became so concerned with Fang’s behavior and activities that they alerted Swalwell to their concerns in 2015 and gave him a “defense briefing”. Swalwell then cut all ties According to an official who spoke to the outlet, Feng has not been charged with any further wrongdoing.
Feng left the country in mid-2015.
