Hunter Biden’s China connections plagued by ethics questions and national security concerns

.....a spotlight has been cast on Hunter Biden's ventures not only in Ukraine, but in China, while Joe was vice president. Republicans are demanding that he testify on his work before Congress.

For almost six years, the Hunter Biden China-connected firm has moved more than $2.5B into various automotive, technology, energy, and mining endeavors. Analysts point to the “ethical challenges” of Hunter doing such deals in China while his father was in the White House.

“At a time when the Obama administration was trying to pivot to Asia, a policy that ultimately fell flat, one has to at least stop and think what connections between policy and personal interests were there,” said Harry Kazianis, senior director for the Center for the National Interest. “ While chances are Hunter Biden was doing what a lot of family members of famous politicians do – cash in on their name – it looks dirty.”

Biden served as one of nine directors of the private equity firm Bohai Harvest RST – better known as BHR Partners – 80% mandated by shareholders in the Chinese government, according to the WSJ.

The firm was registered less than two weeks after Biden flew with his then-vice president father and his daughter on Air Force Two for official business in China in December 2013, but his lawyer has previously stated that talks were in place months earlier.

China’s central bank, the Bank of China in conjunction with Rosemount Seneca – the firm Biden founded in 2009 with John Kerry’s stepson Christopher Heinz and family friend Devon Archer – set up the $1 billion investment joint venture called Bohai Harvest RST. ........the “T” refers to the Thornton Group, a Mass-based consulting company established by James Bulger, the nephew of infamous mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger.

Let’s understand....a VP is not a free agent. Everything he does reflects on his boss, the President.

Ergo Joe Biden (and Hunter) could not have engaged in these foreign activities without Obama’s approval.

Just as getting rid of Agnew was the first salvo against Nixon.

Sound like Joe was abusing his son and using him for a way to get illegal funds. How many junkies could arrange this themselves?

So add child abuse to the list of sins.

99% of Washington is dirty. Both sides. Look at the cost to run for Congress. You end up owing people just like the Mafia. Favor now for a favor later.

How do you think these Congress Men and Women exit office as millionaires on only 260,000 a years.

K street, all these lobbyists, the military industrial complex, FBI, CIA, intel agencies have all figured out how to bleed the taxpayers dry.

Everyone knows why young Biden got the gig. But did he actually attend meetings, keep files, offer opinions or what? Surely it wasn’t just a check in the mail and not one other thing ??

Again I like to thank the people of Delaware for 36 years of enabling the buffoon Joe Biden & his corrupt family. All proving the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in having senators selected by the state legislature.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just another example of why the founders were right.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
We need to uphold the Constitution.
ALL of it.
Or we lose ALL of it.

The demonRATs really don't want a trial in the senate because the biden corruption is just the tip of the iceberg, and it floats both ways.

The pubbies are dirty, just not quite to the same degree.

Pubbies steal an apple, the demonRATs steal the orchard.

How long before the investigations into Hunter’s activities open up references to Paul Pelosi’s actions all over the world???

I also suspect that there are many other ‘family members’ who have been using their parent’s high profiles to do dirty business all over the world.

Obama & Val Jar are not without connections, either.

Clintons are a totally separate category.

just when you think there’s not a trashier swamp dwellers clan than the clintons.

with brother roger & the rodham brothers monetizing the brand name on arkie coke deals, haitian gold mining deals & russia/georgia hazlenut deals, the biden gang deals (that we know of so far) make the clintonistas look like a bunch of..... hillbillies.

on a positive note: at least hunter never sold any presidential pardons

“reported that the technology was associated with a controversial IJOP app used in the surveillance of Uighurs and Chinese Muslims in the Xinjiang region.”

So he helped the Chinese identify terrorists? I don’t have many good things to say about Hunter, but if he’s helping to keep China safe for the Chinese and other, more power to him!

Ukraine seems to have been a keystone holding the arch of international corruption together. So many traitors, so little time.
I believe our President will reveal the truth!
How many more besides the Bidens, Pelosis, Kerrys, Clintons are involved? Most it seems. Good thing we expanded GTMO. We are going to need military tribunals soon.

MAGA SS1

NO way. Hunter/Chelsea 2024. Hereditary totalitarians will be in vogue. Besides, “No Controlling Legal Authority” for them.
