‘We Had China Exactly Where We Wanted Them,’ Trump Expresses Dismay, in Criticizing Biden’s Policy
Epoch Times ^ | 02/18/2021 | Cathy He

Former President Donald Trump on Feb. 17 expressed dismay at the Biden administration’s stance toward China, pointing to the Biden family’s business ties with the regime in Beijing.

When asked about President Joe Biden’s comments on Feb. 16 that appeared to repeat Chinese Communist Party (CCP) talking points used to justify the government’s repression of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, Trump noted the controversy surrounding Biden’s son, Hunter, and his dealings with China.

“His family’s involved with the Chinese, certainly, a long time and a lot of money,” Trump said in an interview with Newsmax. “The whole thing is ridiculous: We had China exactly where we wanted them.”

Hunter Biden attracted scrutiny during last year’s election season after a former business partner disclosed to media outlets a trove of text messages, some of which demonstrated his close ties to a Chinese billionaire. Other messages suggested Joe Biden was aware of his son’s business activity, although candidate Biden denied knowledge of his son’s dealings.

The revelations prompted concern about foreign influence on U.S. policy.

Federal investigators are currently probing Hunter Biden’s “tax affairs,” including reportedly his business dealings with China. While he also holds a stake in a Chinese private equity firm, the White House press secretary said earlier this month that the younger Biden “has been working to unwind his investment.”

During the final year of Trump’s presidency, the administration escalated its pushback on an array of threats posed by the CCP. For example, it imposed sanctions on Chinese officials over rights abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, banned U.S. investment in Chinese companies that aid the military, and rallied allies to exclude Chinese tech giant Huawei from their 5G mobile networks.

We had China on the ropes, and we were solving the sieve that is our southern border, so both parties had to cheat him out of office.

He was messing up their plans.

Biden is bought and paid for by the CCP as was Obama and Clinton before him.

Well, at least Obama actually won one election (not so sure about the second given Biden bragged that the vote fraud machine was one from Obama) and Clinton two....

Hunter Biden May have “attracted scrutiny” during the campaign, but most people never heard about it, unless perhaps to hear that it had been “debunked.” I recall Giuliani saying that he had been traveling all around the country talking on local media because the national media would not give him any air time. When the Hunter laptop story came out and then Bobulinski corroborated it and then many people in the email chains backed him up, it seemed like this October surprise was one that the Dems would not be able to overcome.

I underestimated the power of the propaganda press to frame a story to their liking and to suppress a story they did not want to get out.

We had Iran where we wanted them, too.

Then there's the Climate treaty which is not a treaty...

The election fraud and military occupation by an illegitimate government is very bad.

This is Exhibit A.

It’s hardly worth commenting on.

Every single thing this administration does is going to put
our nation at risk. It’s the new reality we have to deal
with.

Four years of this blithering idiot or his partner in
crime...

Filling them pockets with gold in the middle of the ocean on a sinking ship. Disgusting greed. Greed that has no limits or logic.

China has won, it’s over & it’s getting more lopsided every day.

While Chinese students study quantum physics, American students are studying 57 genders.

"Biden is bought and paid for by the CCP as was Obama and Clinton before him."

You can definitely add Bush43 to that list as well.

At Cho Xiden's inauguration, nobody looked happier that Jorge Arbusto.

We had China right where Trump and the American people wanted them.

Where the political sell-outs wanted them? Not so much.

Good metaphor, and they surely would. They can’t resist...

Good for the goose, good for the gander. As they trashed the political niceties per commenting upon the previous four years during DJT’s administration, let the games commence with Joe’s every missed step.
