An unclassified [[United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs|U.S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs]] report issued in 1998 stated that both James Riady and his father Mochtar "had a long-term relationship with a Chinese intelligence agency." According to journalist [[Bob Woodward]], details of the relationship came from highly classified intelligence information supplied to the committee by both the CIA and [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]].<ref>Woodward, Bob, [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/stories/cf021098.htm "Findings Link Clinton Allies to Chinese Intelligence"], ''Washington Post'', Feb. 10, 1998.</ref>

The relationship between John Huang, the Riady Family, and the Clintons, goes back to the late 1970s in Little Rock, Arkansas. The patriarch of the family, Mochtar Riady, is an [[Indonesia]]n of [[Chinese]] descent who built up the Lippo Group empire. In the mid-1970s, Mochtar Riady planned to expand his business into the United States and began looking for partners. He met the Stephens family of Arkansas headed by Witt Stephens<ref>http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=1773</ref> and entered into various joint ventures with Stephens Inc.

In Little Rock the Riadys met then-Governor [[Bill Clinton]] and financially supported Clinton's gubernatorial campaigns throughout the 1980s.

It was through the Lippo-Stephens partnership that James Riady came to Arkansas to assist with their joint venture, [[Worthen Banking Corporation]].<ref>Simultaneously with the Rose Law Firms's shredding of documents related to Whitewater and the death of Vince Foster, the Worthern Bank suffered a fire destroying all its documents relating to loans made to the Clinton's and their election campaigns. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1994/04/23/whitewater-weirdness/2422e03b-eb40-4816-936d-86ccc50f6a6c/</ref>

Following James Riady was John Huang. Shortly after Riady pledged $1 million in support of then-Governor Clinton's campaign for the presidency 1992, contributions made by Huang had been reimbursed with funds wired from a foreign Lippo Group entity into an account Riady maintained at Lippo Bank and then distributed to Huang in cash. Also, contributions made by Lippo Group entities operating in the United States were reimbursed with wire transfers from foreign Lippo Group entities.<ref>[http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2001/January/017crm.htm "James Riady Pleads Guilty"], Department of Justice, press release, January 11, 2001.</ref><ref>[https://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/08/12/huang.sentence/ "Former Democratic fund-raiser John Huang pleads guilty"], ''CNN.com'', Aug. 12, 1999.</ref>
