The Bidens and China Business
Most of the media is ignoring the emails found in Hunter Biden’s laptop, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t news. Joe Biden has an obligation to answer questions about his son’s influence-peddling and his own financial dealings—notably regarding China.
The New York Post last week obtainedthe contents of a laptop purported to belong to Hunter. The Post has been transparent that it obtained its copy of the hard drive from Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who says he received it from the owner of a Delaware computer-repair shop, where it was abandoned in 2019. Mr. Biden derides this as a “smear campaign,” while House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff calls it without evidence “Russian disinformation.”
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe says the government has no intelligence to support the disinformation claim. A repair-shop order from April 2019 contains Hunter’s name and what appears to be his signature. The shop owner supplied a subpoena showing the computer and hard drive were seized by the FBI in December 2019. And the Biden campaign hasn’t said the emails are phony.
The emails regarding Hunter’s business in Ukraine have been widely reported. But as intriguing is a May 2017 email thread that includes a discussion about “remuneration packages” for six people as part of a business deal with a now-defunct Chinese energy titan, CEFC China Energy. The Chinese company was international news a few years ago, after the U.S. government charged a CEFC-funded organization with money laundering, and its CEO was detained by Chinese authorities. CNN reported in 2018 that “at its height” CEFC was “hard to distinguish” from the Chinese government.
According to the emails, both Bidens were in line in 2017 to benefit from a deal with CEFC. One email appears to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair/Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC.” It also refers to financial payments in terms of “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy.
Fox News says it has confirmed the veracity of the email with one of its recipients and that sources say the “big guy” is Joe Biden. An August 2017 email from “Robert Biden” (Hunter’s legal first name) crows that the original deal was for $10 million a year in fees, but that it had since become “much more interesting to me and my family” because it included a share of “the equity and profits.” The Biden campaign says the Veep’s tax returns don’t show any involvement with Chinese investments.
The Democratic-media refrain is that even if these latest emails are real—again, the Bidens don’t deny their authenticity—they fail to prove Mr. Biden broke any law. But felonies aren’t the minimum standard for political behavior. Mr. Biden was a private citizen in 2017 but was considering a presidential run. A transaction that would have made him—or his son—partners with an entity tied to the Chinese government raises questions about judgment and how he would handle China as President.
Joe Biden ought to clear the air on this China business in his own political interest. Is he the “big guy” in the email? What happened with the deal? China will be one of Mr. Biden’s toughest foreign-policy challenges, and the unexplained documents won’t go away once he’s elected. If Republicans hold the Senate, you can bet there will be more digging.
President Trump, as usual, is muddying the story with inappropriate demands that the Department of Justice investigate a potential crime. But the real burden here should be on Mr. Biden and the press. Perhaps Joe Biden wasn’t involved, and Hunter was using his father’s name to advance his own business interests. But it’s also possible that Joe Biden was aware of the CEFC business and was unwilling to tell his son that he couldn’t trade on his father’s name and position.
Whatever the truth, the public deserves better than Mr. Biden’s Trump-like dismissal of the CBS reporter who so far is the only one brave enough to ask about the emails.
This is such a biased post that no longer can you believe either party as both of them are just full of misdirection and lies that I am no longer going to read any of this crap. Each of these parties has family members who have and or had dealings with China. Sick of the bull shit. Vote for Grady Kudd sherif in Polk County , FL. Look up his post regarding the killing of one of his deputies and a dog and wounding another sheriff deputy. Honest straight forward answer.

The Bible says “Everything done in the dark will be brought to light”
We all know when you hide something is going
on,right or wrong!!!
What are they hiding? Why’s isn’t the FBI and the DOJ Pursuing an investigation? What are they afraid of? Is the liberal Democratic Party pressuring THOSES government agencies not to proceed with their actions until after the election. WHY?
Democrats are for some reasons above the law just look at the Clintons they probably broke more laws then John Gotti do you remember Teflon John. I’m still waiting for the press n newscasters look into the Epstein matter and how Bill Clinton’s 26 trips on Epstein jet is not being questioned ?
Your absolutely RIGHT–i AM A vETERAN——-Remember “What difference does it make”” Hillary-disgusting!!!!
Google up ” Can a member of Congress be arrested?” That will tell you why they never get arrested. And the parties put forth a bill to make it so!
Getting the press to even think they should look into anything would be a monumental act of god. It would like helping the enemy.
Bob–I am a Veteran—–Realtor–Promote American Dream all the time for years—–Media except for Fox brings me the fair and balanced look at the world issues—–I am voting for Trump and thanks for Trump that over turned–Obama-Biden—–to eliminate single family homes–Fair Housing Act -1968—disgusting Obama Biden- to house illegals and only build high rise buildings–zoning orders to every state and locality——I do not want socialism/communism–and that is all Biden offers!!!!! I am voting for Trump as I did before –for my future,children and grand children——America is so lucky we have Trump—suburbs— need to realize you dumbells—-your Dream of owning a beautiful area of single family for your family has been saved by Trump! He is the top builder Realtor to the American Dream And he is our President of the Untied States to protect our liberties. Amen
The laws are for the masses, not the elites. If you are connected, you get a pass, if not you are doomed. Dems are connected like a ball of yarn or a knots it a hair ball. Deep state alive and well – we expected the FBI, and the alphabet departments to be apolitical – guess not in reality. This is the part that needs to be changed. We can deal with differences of opinion, not of blurring of facts and lines not to be crossed
Yes, many politicians unfortunately have financial ties to China. The China lobby is strong and has done well buying our politicians. Look into Mitch McConnell too. His wife’s father is owner of a large shipbuilding business in China that has very very strong ties to the CCP. In fact Mitch and his wife pulled in some great profits from this Chinese father in law last year! Been very profitable for both. Dad has to be proud of how well his daughter married, lol. I read she talks to him daily! wow that’s a tight daughter – Dad relationship! wonder what they talk about that much? This really needs to be looked into also! Both parties are guilty! China at this moment owns us.
Why is my reply being moderated??????? To answer Bob’s comment??????
It seem to be that the laws done apply to the Clintons or Obamas nor the Bidens they are all in the same corrupt boat they all should be in jail.
Democrats like all socialists believe they can do anything and they will not be punished. If this is without being President, can you imagine what he would do in case of being elected?
There are no investigative journalists in the main news media. Of course when it comes to President Trump then they are like leeches slimy and blood sucking. Reporters if you read this get some balls and do your job!!!!!
I wish some big news media like CNN, CBS and a Hispanic station would expose the wrong doings of the Biden’s this week before the elections
Guess Beijing Biden isn’t such a Bumbler after all. Could it B all an act? Is BBB the Benedict of our times?
All Joe Biden does is lie. He doesn’t know how to tell the truth. He and his son need to go to prison.
Biden does nor deserve to be President he is a low life moron. He hates America and wants to destroy everything Trump built. Vote Trump
I see lots of great comments here when you consider “Operation Mockingbird”, Thomas Williams, The Special Expose, Part 2: THE COVID PLAN/Rockefeller Lockstep 2010, and the Communist/UN goals for world domination and control, (all found in Wikileaks), not to mention the Deep State sickness involving child trafficking and the murder of children in sick rituals, who the hell would KNOW?
Every single whistleblower that tried to tell us the TRUTH of many world leaders involved in child trafficking, has been either labeled a “crazy conspiracy theorists”. Or worse! “accidents”, “suicide”, or just plain shot in the back! “Murder by Doorknob” is another great tool of the deep state! Calling Anthony Bourdain, a suicide by doorknob, when he was working on EXPOSING CHILD TRAFFICKING! FYI, the CIA invented the term “conspiracy theory” to debunk these ‘crazy’ and ‘suicidal’ whistleblowers! Pizza-gate exists, is real and HRC is SICK!
BUT YOU ALL are dancing around the real reason the DNC/Communist party and their propaganda machine, the MSM, are lying to America! And know this, they have been lying to us for DECADES!
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THE RITUAL MURDER OF CHILDREN BY OUR ‘HIGHEST’ LEADERS IN THE WORLD! THE ELITES! THE TRILLIONAIRES, THE ROYALS AND THE 13 FAMILIES THAT PLAY ‘PUPPETS’ WITH THE HUMAN RACE!
I’m 60 and it’s time to face the truth! It’s the final digital war and it’s between GOOD and EVIL!!!
Which are you? TRUMP2020!
