California State Treasurer Fiona Ma has ties to a private Chinese boarding school that was the subject of a scathing audit by California's Riverside County education officials. The audit found that a Southern California district improperly issued diplomas to the school's students and identified potential fraud and other illegal practices. Ma visited the school in 2023 and offered to help students with internships and job opportunities in California. The school's founder donated to Ma's campaigns, and the school featured Ma in its marketing. Ma confirmed her visit to the school and stated that she paid for the trip personally. The California Department of Education sent a cease-and-desist letter to the school, demanding it stop claiming it was founded with the agency's support.
