The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) main strategy to win involves buying off the elites of the United States — a process they call “elite capture” — Breitbart News senior contributor and author of the bestselling bombshell
Glenn Beck said on Wednesday’s edition of his eponymous radio program that Peter Schweizer’s latest book, Red-Handed : How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, reveals how President Joe Biden “is compromised on almost every front” with respect to his family’s financial ties to China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Beck interviewed Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and host of the Drill Down podcast, about some of the book’s revelations. He contrasted false left-wing news media and Democrat narratives of former President Donald Trump’s “compromise” by the Russian government with the Biden family’s dealings with China. Beck said:
We have a president who is compromised on almost every front. [Joe Biden] says that Donald Trump was compromised by Vladimir Putin, except everything that Donald Trump did with Vladimir Putin did not work to Putin’s advantage. Here, the case is dramatically the opposite, but we’re living in a time now where — because of China and because of Biden — the press isn’t going to [cover this information].
Beck indirectly referenced events surrounding Robert Hanssen, a former FBI agent serving several life sentences following convictions on federal charges of espionage and conspiracy on behalf of Russia and the Soviet Union. He remarked:
This is the most stunning, illegal, clearly un-American activity I have ever seen produced outside of the guy who was actually a [Soviet] spy for the FBI. … It’s that kind of level, and no one’s going to talk about it. Nothing’s going to happen.
Red-Handed explains why U.S. elites often say and do things beneficial to the CCP, Beck said.
“Why does it feel like no one will take China on?” he asked. “Why is it that all of these elites are torpedoing us in favor of China?…Peter [Schweizer] has the answer. It’s called ‘Red-Handed .’ The new book Red-Handed outlines the answer to these disturbing questions.”
There it is. That's the issue. To begin, you have the corrupt family Biden. They've been scamming us and our system well for almost fifty years. The man is supposedly worth over 250 million dollars. How is this possible on his salary? It's not. So where did his wealth come from? Not from being a brilliant businessman. DAVID PRENTICE
The fact that Hunter's market value was derived from his father's position seemed to be a source of resentment for the younger Biden, even as he continued to cash in on the name. Hunter complained in texts to his daughter that he had financially supported the Biden clan for three decades and that "pop" takes a cut of "half [my] salary." Financia records and correspondence reported on by Devine indicate that money from Hunter's business accounts was used to cover Joe's AT&T bill and home maintenance expenses and that a portion of at least one major China deal was earmarked for the elder Biden.

Tom Cotton: ‘Red-Handed’ Revelations ‘Alarming’

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) called a bombshell report about Hunter Biden from Peter Schweizer’s new book, Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, “alarming, but not surprising.”
Cotton tweeted out a Breitbart News article that cites Red-Handed and reports that a “Chinese global energy company,” with ties to Chinese intelligence, sent Hunter Biden almost $6 million in 2017.
The report, authored by Breitbart News’s Kristina Wong, reads in part:
The firm, now defunct, was led by Ye Jianming, a wealthy and connected Chinese businessman who was chairman and majority owner of the global energy company CEFC China Energy.
…
Furthermore, by July 2017, CEFC began making interest-free, forgivable loans to the Biden family. CEFC executive Zhao Running wrote that $5 million was intended as the money lent to the BD family,” not just Hunter Biden.
“This $5 million loan to the BD [Biden] family is interest-free,” Zhao wrote.
Schweizer notes that “interest-free loans provide tremendous leverage because the lender can demand its money back if it is displeased by any action.”
In August 2017, CEFC Infrastructure Investment LLC sent Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco, $100.000. Four days later, the firm wired $5 million to another entity controlled by Ye, which then started sending regular payment to Owasco. Biden then transferred $1.4 million of that money to a firm called Lion Hall Group, which was controlled by his uncle James Biden and his wife, Sara Biden.
According to Red-Handed , The Biden family received “$31 million from five deals in China, all with individuals with direct ties to the Chinese spy apparatus,” reports Breitbart News’s Politics Editor Emma-Jo Morris.
Citing Red-Handed , Morris writes :
Multiple financiers with direct ties to Chinese intelligence partnered with Hunter Biden during and after his father’s time as Vice President — including the former head of the Ministry of State Security and the head of foreign intelligence recruitment — and some of those relationships remain intact, according to Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win , by Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.
Schweizer explains that Beijing saw a financial relationship with the Bidens as an opening for “elite capture,” which allowed Hunter Biden to secure meetings and score major deals with people in the highest levels of Chinese financial institutions and the Chinese Communist Party — and in return, they would be able to leverage the Bidens’ power for their interests.
Schweizer’s book also chronicles how donations from communist China to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the university announced in February of 2017 it was launching the “Biden Center,” Breitbart News’s John Hayward reports .
“In the three years before the announcement, the university received around $15 million. In the three years after, the total was close to $40 million. The latter number is $60 million from China if you include contracts,” writes Schweizer in Red-Handed.
Hayward reports :
Some of those donors were anonymous, but declared donors included the state-owned China Merchants Bank, and a company called Cathay Fortune owned by “a secretive Chinese billionaire who appears to have strong links with the Communist Party” named Yu Yong.
Cathay Fortune is especially interesting because it has a controlling interest in China Molybdenum, a mineral producer with Chinese military contracts that teamed up with Hunter Biden’s investment fund to invest in an African copper mine.
For a time, Anthony Blinken – now Biden’s secretary of state – “served as the center’s managing director before heading off to work on the presidential campaign in 2019,” Schweizer writes.
Hayward notes that in March of 2021, Secretary of State Blinken “was famously ambushed and curb-stomped by Chinese diplomats during his first bilateral conference with them.”
Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win was published by Harper-Collins and released on January 25. It has already claimed “the #1 bestseller spot on both Barnes & Noble and Amazon across all book categories and genres,” Breitbart News reports . Schweizer, a senior contributor to Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), is also the bestselling author of Throw Them All Out, Clinton Cash , and Secret Empires.
Schweizer: ‘The Biden Family May Be Compromised’ 1:40
During a Wednesday interview on Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.,” Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said that President Joe Biden and his family “may be compromised” as a result of their dealings with Chinese businessmen.
Schweizer, the author of Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win , laid out how Biden and his son Hunter “received some $31 million from businessmen in China” who have “direct ties to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence.” He added that information “should be setting off sirens everywhere in Washington, D.C.”
“To me, it’s really the story in American politics today, and that’s the fact that the Biden family has received some $31 million from businessmen in China,” Schweizer advised. “Each and every one of those businessmen has direct ties to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, meaning they’re business partners with the vice minister for State Security or they’re business partners with family members of the minister of State Security. It’s shocking to me that other media outlets mainstream media is not pursuing this story because it’s not a story of corruption anymore or cronyism — it’s of national security. And I think it raises questions — very serious questions — about the fact that the Biden family may be compromised.”
“Hunter Biden believes he’s won the lottery because of this guy’s deals, and this guy is neck-deep in the world of Chinese espionage and spying,” he added. “This should be setting off sirens everywhere in Washington, D.C.”

REVIEW: ‘Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide’
The book, titled Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite. , lays out how Hunter Biden and his business partners, in addition to his numerous Rosemont-branded entities and ventures, was deeply involved with an entity called the Burnham Financial Group.
In short, Hunter Biden was not cutting business deals in Japan or Great Britain, where disclosure rules and corporate governance might require greater scrutiny. These were deals in the truly dark corners of the world.
KATRINA WONG
Joe Biden, in his days in the Senate, was very partial to China , as he voted against revoking China’s most-favored nation status and in 2007 opposed the idea of applying any tariffs on China despite their obvious unfair trade practices. However, it was as Vice President that he became wholly enamored with the country and its leadership. STEVE McCANN
JOE BIDEN HAS BEEN CORRUPT FOR 50 YEARS AND NOT ONE INVESTIGATION. DOESN'T THAT SHOW YOU HOW UTTERLY CORRUPT THE RULING CLASS IS?
Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/01/20/schweizer-its-going-to-be-business-as-usual-for-hunters-dealings /
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-
year career politician, with a reputation of
having been a proud segregationist ,
an unabashed plagiarist and liar , a resolute
tale-teller , and a serial flip-flopper , is
pretending to head up a radical social-
democratic ticket for President of the United
States that includes as his running mate the
ambitious, disagreeable junior senator
from California: Kamala Harris.
I’d be inclined to disagree with Don except for one thing: Biden has proven to be a very adept criminal mastermind. For decades, he has funneled millions of dollars to his children and siblings and, especially, to his debauched, deviant son, Hunter.

The book is a devastating chronicle of political corruption.
From Ukraine to Mexico to China, Hunter Biden's private
correspondence shows how he and his family leveraged his
father's position to win high-paying, low-work gigs with shady
foreign actors—and how Joe's official actions at times directly
benefited his family's financial backers. ALANA GOODMAN

Exclusive — Stefanik, Cawthorn Support Appointing Special Counsel on Biden Family China Ties PAUL J. RICHARDS/AFP via Getty Images 4:23
At least two high profile House Republicans are joining the push for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a Justice Department Special Counsel to investigate Democrat President Joe Biden’s family’s business ties to the Chinese Communist Party, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
House GOP conference chairwoman Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) both confirmed to Breitbart News on Wednesday they support the growing calls for such a Special Counsel appointment.
Their statements come after the New York Post’s Editorial Board on Wednesday announced support for a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s and the Biden family’s Chinese business dealings, and after Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) did so earlier this week in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
“The Bidens have lied about their illegal and unethical conflicts of interest for too long. The evidence of Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings, particularly with Communist China, his shady involvement in international affairs and art scandal is mounting, but still the Attorney General shamefully has not called for a special counsel,” Stefanik told Breitbart News.
“Make no mistake. This is a problem for Joe Biden and the whole Biden family, and they have been in hiding for too long. They must provide full transparency to the American people,” the third-ranking GOP House member continued.
Cawthorn told Breitbart News he is in favor of public investigation into Hunter after a 2018 investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware slowed during the 2020 presidential election.
“Just imagine how the left-wing legacy media would be losing their collective minds if one of President Trump’s sons had engaged in one-tenth of the corruption Hunter Biden has,” Cawthorn told Breitbart News. “We should absolutely have a special counsel investigate Hunter Biden.”
“The New York Post stood up to censorship, slander, and abuse for simply reporting the Hunter Biden laptop story,” Cawthorn added in reference to former Post Deputy Politics Editor and now Breitbart News’ Politics Editor Emma-Jo Morris’s reporting that first broke the “laptop from hell” story during the 2020 presidential election.
Morris’s reporting on Hunter’s “laptop from hell” drove an “awakening” about just how protected President Biden’s son is from public inquiry, especially while the Biden administration controls Washington, DC.
The Post’s Wednesday opinion piece slammed President Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, for not naming a special counsel to investigate Hunter, who seems to be the most protected man in America:
It’s past time for Garland to explain why he hasn’t named a special counsel.
This idea has been batted around at least since Hunter’s smelly art sales surfaced. And the drip of damning news has only continued: a former business partner “co-operating completely” with the feds; congressional allegations that the Secret Service improperly redacted records relating to Hunter’s travels; news that Hunter’s bank records on his dealings with the Bank of China were subpoenaed in May 2019.
That is, the feds have been looking at Hunter since the Obama administration. Given all this, Biden should have put the probe under impartial supervision long ago. In between, Justice has managed to fully investigate, for example, everything about then-President Donald Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia — albeit via a special counsel.
The Post’s statement follows reporting by Breitbart News that revealed a 2019 document from the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware. The document indicated the IRS subpoenaed “JPMorgan Chase Bank for financial records of Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James Biden, their associates Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, and a number of business entities with which they were involved” as an integral part of a criminal investigation into Hunter.
Breitbart News’s reporting on the IRS investigation into Hunter comes as Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer’s book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win dropped bombshell reporting about the Biden family’s potentially criminal activities.

What Matters Most to Nations and Peoples? Border Patrol agents detain a group of illegal immigrants at the border wall in El Paso, Texas on February 3, 2022. (Photo by HERIKA MARTINEZ/AFP via Getty Images)
Speaking in Conroe, Texas, last weekend, former President Donald Trump accused his successor of allowing millions of migrants to enter the country illegally across our Southern border.
"The most important border ... for us is not Ukraine's border but America's border," thundered Trump.
"Before Joe Biden sends any troops to defend a border in Europe, he should be sending troops to defend our border right here in Texas."
Thus did Trump not only frame a compelling issue for the fall election; he has framed an issue that touches on one of the great and deepening divides of our time.
Which matters more — the defense of our country from an invasion of migrants from the Third World, or the defense of the borders of distant nations that have little or nothing to do with the security or survival of the United States?
Why should who rules the Russified Donbas be America's concern?
This "border issue" feeds into other Republican issues.
For the border crossers seen on national TV appear to be mostly young men, who will likely contribute to the crime crisis of shootings and killings plaguing America's cities.
Illegal immigration is also the ways and means by which illegal drugs enter the United States. Last year, 100,000 Americans, most of them young, died of overdoses, with two-thirds of these Americans succumbing to fentanyl that is produced in China and comes through Mexico.
Trump's framing of the issue as between the foreign borders we defend and America's border that we do not also divides the GOP.
The interventionist wing of the party seeks a confrontation with Vladimir Putin's Russia, while America First nationalists urge a refocus of U.S. troops and resources to our own bleeding southern border.
And illegal migration is rising as an issue not only in the United States but across Europe.
In France, the four leading presidential candidates — incumbent Emmanuel Macron, nationalist Marine Le Pen, the center-right candidate Valerie Pecresse and the far-right candidate Eric Zemmour — are all making the invasion of Europe an issue, and taking a tougher line.
Over the same weekend that Trump spoke in Texas, the leaders of two NATO nations that border Ukraine headed to Madrid for a gathering titled "Defend Europe." The threat that brought them to the Spanish capital was not Russia's military presence on Ukraine's borders.
Reports The New York Times:
"Instead of tackling the Russian threat to Europe's eastern frontier, the meeting attended by the prime ministers of Poland and Hungary, Mateusz Morawiecki and Viktor Orban, focused on what the populist leaders cite as their most pressing threats: immigration, demographic decline and the European Union ... "
"France's far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen, an outspoken fan of the Kremlin, was also at the two-day conclave ... "
"A declaration issued after the Madrid gathering made no mention of Ukraine. ... It instead stressed the need to form a united front in favor of 'family policies,' Christianity and keeping out immigrants. The European Union, the statement said, had become 'detached from reality,' leading to 'demographic suicide.'"
In brief, while Western elites are alarmed about the borders of Ukraine and Kremlin encroachments, much of Europe is more concerned about its own moral, cultural and demographic decline — abortion, LGBT rights, low birth rates and the death of Christianity.
Europe is in danger of dying, these people believe.
These Europeans are concerned that the nations and peoples their ancestors and fathers knew are going out of existence. Their greater fear is not of Putin's Russia but of an EU superstate whose dominance leads inexorably to the decline and disappearance of distinct ethnic nations.
To the leaders of Hungary and Poland and the traditionalist and populist right-wing parties of Europe, nationality matters more than political systems.
Hungary's Viktor Orban, for example, does not regard Putin's Russia as an enemy of his country, and provides economic incentives for Hungarian families to have more children.
Consider. If the birth rates of the ethnic groups that historically have made up the nations of Europe are now below replacement levels, 2.1 children per woman, these peoples will become minorities in their own countries and eventually die out.
Extinction beckons.
Why should the inhabitants of these nations care about the borders of other countries, if their own countries are slowly passing away?
And why should the future inhabitants of Europe from Africa and Asia in year 2100, who will inherit, populate and rule these lands, care about the old borders created by the history of yesterday's Europeans?
As the peoples of Europe are divided between those who fear demographic death in the long run and those who fear autocratic Russian dominance in the near term, so, too, are Americans divided.
Our ruling class, to whom the world struggle is between autocracy and democracy, are willing to fight for the triumph of the latter over the former.
The other half of America is more concerned with the character and composition of their own nation, present and future, which also appears to be passing away.
