President Joe Biden’s pick to regulate the nation’s banking system is a fellow at a think tank that one of the Chinese government’s propaganda agencies has touted as helpful to Beijing’s foreign influence efforts.
Saule Omarova, who received a Lenin Scholarship at Moscow State University and has refused to turn over a thesis she wrote on Karl Marx in the late 1980s, joined the Berggruen Institute last year as a senior fellow.

Berggruen’s position on China has earned praise from the Cyberspace Administration of China, which touted a relationship with Berggruen as an opportunity to "influence" foreign audiences.

She has already faced resistance to her nomination from the financial industry and Republicans over her alleged anti-capitalist policy positions. Omarova proposed "radically" changing the banking system by having the Federal Reserve accept bank deposits instead of private banks.
