THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY
American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now. TOM FITTON - JUDICIAL WATCH

On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said he reads President Biden’s statements about his son Hunter’s deals as a declaration that “it’s going to be business as usual in the Biden administration as far as these deals are concerned.”
Schweizer said, “Joe Biden has said there are going to be no sketchy overseas deals during his second term. Here’s the problem: He does not believe that the early deals that Hunter was involved in, the China deal, Burisma, he’s never described those as sketchy. So, I read that as saying, it’s going to be business as usual in the Biden administration as far as these deals are concerned.”

How Hunter Biden Is Breaking One of Joe Biden's Campaign Promises

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Friday confirmed that Hunter Biden still holds a 10 percent business stake in the Chinese Communist Party-backed Bohai Harvest RST (BHR Partners).
According to the press secretary, Hunter is still working to "unwind his investment," something the Biden administration said was taking place back in December.
“He has been working to unwind his investment but I would certainly point you — he’s a private citizen — I would point you to him or his lawyers on the outside on any update,” Psaki said.
BHR is responsible for $2.1 billion in assets and is the primary backer is the Bank of China, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Hunter Biden's attorney, George Mesires, said in October 2019 that his client had not received any profits from the venture. Hunter's laptop, however, contains documents showing he was expected to receive payments "in a couple of years," which would be right about now, The Daily Caller noted.
In fact, former Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and former Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) previously launched an investigation into this matter. Grassley and Johnson wanted to know whether or not the Obama administration approved the transaction that launched BHR, which benefited Biden, as well as former Secretary of State John Kerry's stepson, Christopher Heinz.
Remember, when Joe Biden was running for president, he said none of his family members or those in the White House would be involved in international business dealings.
“No one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they are a cabinet member, will, in fact, have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country,” Joe Biden said during a stop in Iowa. “Period. Period. End of story.”
It looks like Biden is failing to deliver on another campaign promise.
Cruz: There's One Really Concerning Pattern All of Biden's Cabinet Nominees Have in Common

Over the last several weeks, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) has been outspoken about the Biden administration cozying up to the Chinese Communist Party, particularly when it comes to Cabinet positions.
“China poses the single greatest geopolitical threat to the United States over the next century. We need serious, clear-eyed policymakers to confront that threat," Cruz warned. "One of the really disturbing patterns we've seen with Biden nominee after Biden nominee is their rush to embrace the worst elements of the Chinese Communist Party. I will continue working with my colleagues to protect our national security.”

But what exactly has Biden's Cabinet done to embrace the CCP? Let's review.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken
Secretary of State Antony Blinken – on his first day in the position – said the United States' relationship with China was "arguably the most important relationship that we have in the world." It's why the Biden administration is going to focus on putting the Trump administration's "America First" policies in the rearview mirror.
“Increasingly, that relationship has some adversarial aspects to it. It has competitive ones. And it also still has cooperative ones,” Blinken said. “I think, and hope, that we’ll be able to pursue that, but that fits within the larger context of, of our foreign policy, and of many issues of concern that we have with China; issues that we need to need to work through.”
Of course, Blinken mentioned the United States and China coming together to address climate change, one of the Biden administration's top priorities.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
An Inspector General report from 2015 shows Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas allegedly used his role to provide EB-5 visas – which gives preference to those who come to the U.S. to invest in our economy – to the vice president of Huawei Technologies, the Chinese telecommunications firm with ties to the CCP.
"In three matters pending before [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services], Mr. Mayorkas communicated with stakeholders on substantive issues, outside of the normal adjudicatory process, and intervened with the career USCIS staff in ways that benefited the stakeholders," the report concluded. "In each of these three instances, but for Mr. Mayorkas' intervention, the matter would have been decided differently."
USCIS flagged the EB-5 application, saying it was "highly recommend[ed]" that the information "be considered prior to granting" the request.
U.N. Ambassador nominee Linda Thomas-Greenfield
Biden's pick for U.N. ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, previously gave a speech at the CCP-backed Confucius Institute on U.S.-Africa relations. She praised China's "increased spending on diplomacy" while slamming the Trump administration's alleged rollback of funding for diplomacy. Thomas-Greenfield said a "win-win-win" situation is possible for the United States and China to work together to promote a range of issues in Africa.
"Ultimately, the future is about Africa and its people. The U.S. should be focused on building a strong partnership with Africa which is based on shared values of peace, prosperity, sustained economic growth and development, and a firm commitment to good governance, gender equity, and the rule of law. I see no reason why China cannot share in those values," she said at the time. "In fact, China is in a unique position to spread these ideals given its strong footprint on the continent. All sides should work together to build sustainable growth for Africa and the world."
Commerce Secretary nominee Gov. Gina Raimondo
Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, who is being considered as commerce secretary, refused to commit to keeping Huawei Technologies on the Department's Entity List. Any company that is put on that list requires any of the company's subsidiaries to obtain a license to export. Huawei was put on that list under the Trump administration because the company is "engaged in activities that are contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests and its non-U.S. affiliates pose a significant risk of involvement in activities contrary to the national security of the United States."
Should Raimondo be confirmed and pull Huawei from the Entity List, the technology firm would have access to American technology, which is a national security threat.
The Biden administration themselves have taken action that puts Chinese interests above America's best interests. One of the biggest pro-Chinese Communist Party actions can be seen with the White House's decision to rejoin the Word Health Organization (WHO). The WHO was single-handedly responsible for covering up the coronavirus pandemic. The international organization ignored Taiwan's concerns that the virus was transmitted from human-to-human. Instead, the WHO went to bat for the CCP, repeatedly saying that the virus was not spread through human-to-human transmission.
In fact, a report from Five Eyes – the intelligence alliance made up of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand – shows China purposefully hid and/or destroyed evidence relating to the virus, including outspoken doctors magically "disappearing."
Now the question becomes: whose best interest does the White House have, ours or China's?
Biden’s Chinada Challenge
Will “Big Guy” Joe Biden come through for the “not bad folks” of Communist China?
Joe Biden is on record that the Chinese Communists are “not bad folks, folks,” and “not competition for us.” The Delaware Democrat, is facing a crucial decision on China, by way of Canada, that deserves careful monitoring.
In December of 2018 in Vancouver, Canada arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. extradition warrant. China responded by taking captive Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor. As Solarina Ho of CTV News reports, Trudeau has spoken to Joe Biden about the case and “should the U.S. withdraw its charges against Meng, it could give China a reason to release Kovrig and Spavor,” now in their third year of captivity.
While Biden thinks it over, a review of Canada’s response may prove instructive. As “the two Michaels” languish in a Chinese prison, the Trudeau government ignores the captives and steps up integration with the People’s Republic of China.
Secret intelligence documents obtained by Rebel News reveal that the Trudeau government invited the People’s Liberation Army to conduct a “winter survival training exercise” at the Canadian Armed Forces base at Petawawa, Ontario. Defense chief Jonathan Vance canceled the training when China kidnapped Kovrig and Spavor. As the documents reveal, Trudeau was more concerned about placating China than rescuing the captives.
The government documents name Meng Wenzhou, but not Kovrig and Spavor, who show up only as “consular cases,” with no reference to their status as hostages. The biggest revelation was the cooperation between the Trudeau government and the People’s Liberation Army of Communist China. That is strange behavior for one of the “Five Eyes” allies, Canada, USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
“That cold-weather warfare you are referring to is just one of 18 different joint projects the Canadian armed forces had with the People’s Liberation Army in 2019 alone, Rebel News founder Ezra Levant told Tucker Carlson of Fox News. “Canada is training one- and two-star Chinese generals in our war colleges, training lieutenants and majors, commanders. We’re sending Canadians over to China, we’re bringing Chinese — I think they are not just soldiers, I think they’re spies, as well, and I don’t know a single person in this country knew about it.”
Canadians may also be unaware that the province of British Columbia is training China’s police officers. As Graeme Wood of Glacier Media reports, “the Justice Institute of B.C. (JIBC) has accepted close to 2,000 Chinese law enforcement students, recruits and officials, plus dozens of Chinese state judges, to its purported education and training programs, since 2013.” The province’s international law enforcement studies (ILES) program “is offered to Chinese police academy students, who are China’s future police officers, border agents and prison guards — handpicked by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”
JIBC boss Michel Tarko told Wood it was all about “promoting safer communities in a more just society, not just in Canada, but around the world,” and meeting BC’s rising demands for diverse and highly skilled workers.
“Why do we have to gather recruitment from international students?” wondered Ivy Li of Canadian Friends for Hong Kong. “Why can’t we just get the recruitment from our own citizens?” For Michel Juneau-Katsuya of Canada’s Security Intelligence Service, the Chinese police academies represent an espionage threat.
“First of all, they will be handpicked and have the duty to report on everything happening and everyone they are meeting,” Juneau-Katsuya told Wood. Simon Fraser University criminologist Rob Gordon, a former Hong Kong police officer, explained, “These would be young men and women, mostly men, who have been selected for their ideological purity to come to Canada and pick up some information and then trot back with it to the People's Republic.”
Prime Minister Trudeau has no problem with it. In 2013, Justin Trudeau expressed his “level of admiration for China,” because “their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime.” In similar style, his father, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was also a big fan.
In 1960, Trudeau visited Communist China in the midst of Chairman Mao’s “Great Leap Forward” that claimed millions of lives. In 1970, during the murderous Cultural Revolution, Prime Minister Trudeau recognized the People’s Republic. The next year, Pierre Trudeau pronounced the United States, Canada’s biggest trading partner and NATO ally, “a danger to our national identity.”
One might imagine the uproar if Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau had invited Soviet troops for cold-weather training in Ontario, or allowed provinces to train recruits of the Soviet KGB or East German Stasi. Son Justin is doing the equivalent with China, even as the Communist regime continues to hold Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor hostage. Canadians might wonder what Joe Biden thinks about it.
Biden claims to choose “truth over facts” but it’s hard to find any statement where he criticizes China for taking the two Canadians hostage. If Canadians thought Biden puts China’s interests above those of a close U.S. ally it would be hard to blame them.
The arrest of Meng Wanzhou took place under President Donald Trump, and job one for Biden is to reverse the Trump record. So the Delaware Democrat, who thinks the Chinese Communists are “not bad folks,” just might drop the charge against Meng Wanzhou. Watch also what son Hunter’s “Big Guy” does about China’s crackdown in Hong Kong and increasing Communist aggression against Taiwan and India.
