This connects a few dots:

Mitch McConnell is married to Elaine Chao, whose father is James Chao:

"James S. C. Chao, who began his career as a merchant mariner and in 1964 founded the shipping company Foremost Maritime Corporation in New York City which developed into the Foremost Group."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaine_Chao

Foremost has had most of its ships built by China State Shipbuilding, some of them financed by loans from the state-owned Export-Import Bank of China. In 2015 it began construction of the first freighter jointly financed by banks in both the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. Its ships are registered under the flags of Liberia and Hong Kong

"That’s likely because Chao and her family are well-connected in communist China thanks to her father’s company. Foremost is technically based out of New York but largely operates out of China, where at least 70 percent of its freight, mostly industrial, is delivered. Not only are a majority of Foremost’s ships built in state-owned shipyards, but some are even financed by the Chinese Communist Party. They are then used to deliver cargo outlined in contracts with the communist government, which has clearly stated goals to rapidly expand its industries to compete with the U.S."
