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


My colleague Peter Schweizer’s runaway bestseller, Red Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win, first revealed that the Biden family received some $31 million from the highest levels of Chinese intelligence at the same time Hunter was paying the vice president’s bills. Schweizer believes that there is a slam dunk case to indict Hunter Biden.

 

 


Dictator Diversion

Behind the cover story, Biden parrots Chinese propaganda.

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there. No, I’m serious. That was the great embarrassment for dictators, when they didn’t know what happened.”

That was Joe Biden at a June 20 event in California. The Delaware Democrat wasn’t done.

“That wasn’t supposed to be going where it was. It was blown off course up through Alaska and then down through the United States and he didn’t know about it. When it got shot down, he was very embarrassed and he denied it was even there.” The establishment media was all over it.

Biden calls China’s Xi a dictator; Beijing slams remark as ‘provocation,’” headlined the Washington Post. “Biden calls Xi a dictator, who was kept in the dark about spy balloon,” chimed in the New York Times.

CNN headlined its story  “Biden compares China’s Xi Jinping to ‘dictators’ even as Washington and Beijing work to thaw relations.” NBC News proclaimed, “Biden calls Xi a ‘dictator,’ fueling Chinese anger.” And so on, in perfect harmony and fathomless ignorance.

The People’s Republic of China is a Communist country, and in Marxist-Leninist doctrine the dictatorship of the proletariat rules. Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu-Wen and Xi Jinping are all totalitarian dictators in the true sense. Marxist-Leninist doctrine allows no party but the Communist Party, and the Party decides who will run the show.  Xi Jinping is the man of the hour, and the notion he “didn’t know” about the balloon is ludicrous.

China’s high-altitude surveillance device was capable of navigation. It overflew the Aleutian Islands, passed over Canadian territory and reentered US airspace with no official acknowledgement from China or Biden. The surveillance device only became public knowledge when a private citizen in Montana spotted the craft and took photos.

China’s foreign ministry said the balloon was “mainly meteorological,” and the craft had been “affected by the Westerlies,” and “deviated far from its planned course.” And China “regrets the unintended entry” into US airspace. Biden’s proclamation that “it was blown off course up through Alaska and then down through the United States,” echoed the Chinese position.

While in American airspace, China’s balloon overflew missile installations such as Malmstrom Air Force Base. Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told CNN the balloon passed over “a number of sensitive sites,” but did not present a “significant intelligence gathering risk.” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin advised against shooting down China’s balloon while it was over land.

Joint chiefs of staff boss Gen. Mark Milley recommended against “kinetic action” to bring down the balloon, CBS News reported, because of the danger of debris hitting the ground, and because “the US government had determined the balloon does not pose a threat.” The military did not shoot it down until it had crossed nearly the entire continental United States.

On June 29, Gen. Ryder told reporters China’s surveillance device “did not collect while it was transiting the United States or flying over the United States, and certainly the efforts that we made contributed.” No inventory on those “two box cars” full of spy gear that Biden claimed he “shot down.” The real story here is Biden’s longstanding collaboration with the Communist regime.

As the Atlantic pointed out in 2012, vice president Biden “got China” through the efforts of longtime supporter Tom Donilon, who would serve as national security adviser under President Obama. Donilon sees no conflict between a “rising power and an established power” and contends that “a deeper US-China military-to-military dialogue is central to addressing many of the sources of insecurity and potential competition between us.” (emphases added)

In similar style in 2019, presidential candidate Joe Biden went on record that the Chinese are “not bad folks” and not even competition for the United States. In reality, Chinese agents strip mine the USA for classified information, trade secrets and intellectual property. The Biden DOJ has dropped the case against some Chinese spies apprehended by the FBI.

The CCP uses the Confucius Institutes to push propaganda on US college campuses. President Trump demanded that the institutes register as a foreign mission but the Biden Junta allows them to function as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the IRS.

The Biden Junta also allows China to operates police stations in New York, Los Angeles and other American cities. This is a clear breach of American territorial and judicial sovereignty, and far beyond anything National Socialist Germany or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was able to achieve.

After meeting with Xi Jinping on June 19, Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken proclaimed, “We do not support Taiwan independence.” Biden and Xi Jinping want the same things, but the story was that Biden had called Xi a dictator.

For statements calculated to provoke a Communist dictator, recall Ronald Reagan calling out the Soviet Union as an “evil empire,” and challenging Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” After Poland’s Communist regime declared martial law, US Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger called Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski a “Soviet general in a Polish uniform.”

With every passing day, Joe Biden acts more like a Chinese colonial official in an American suit.

Yellen to visit China, raising need to ‘responsibly manage’ ties

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen heads to China for talks June 6-9, 2023, the second high-level trip by a US official to Beijing in a month
AFP

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to visit Beijing this week, the United States said Sunday, marking the second trip by a cabinet official to China since ties between the world’s top two economies deteriorated earlier this year.

Yellen is expected to discuss with her counterparts the importance for both countries “to responsibly manage our relationship, communicate directly about areas of concern, and work together to address global challenges,” said the Treasury Department in a statement.

Yellen’s planned July 6-9 trip comes just weeks after Secretary of State Antony Blinken met China’s top leader President Xi Jinping and Foreign Minister Qin Gang in Beijing in June.

Blinken was the highest-ranking US official to visit the Chinese capital in nearly five years, and Xi said on the rare trip that he saw headway in the strained relationship between Washington and Beijing.

In Beijing, Yellen will discuss how the United States views its economic relationship with China, a senior Treasury official said Sunday.

She will meet with senior Chinese officials and leading US firms, the American spokesperson said without providing specifics.

While the US seeks to secure its national security interests and protect human rights, actions to this effect are “not intended to gain economic advantage over China,” the official added.

Washington also looks towards “healthy” ties with Beijing and does not seek to decouple the economies, while pursuing cooperation on urgent challenges like climate change and debt distress, the American official said.

The United States does not expect “significant breakthrough” from this initial trip, but it does aim to build longer-term channels of communication with China, the Treasury official added.

Restarting engagement

“I think the US government is clearly trying to put some floor under the deterioration of the economic relationship,” Edward Alden, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) told AFP, speaking on the Treasury secretary’s intentions to visit China.

A Yellen trip could “restart a steady pattern of engagement at lower levels,” he said, adding that the US has shifted from being ambiguous about how far it was supporting decoupling to explicitly adopting a strategy of “derisking” instead.

This means “focusing on a narrower range of items that have strategic importance, trying to build fences around those items, but otherwise trying to continue to nurture a reasonably robust US-China economic relationship,” Alden said.

But observers do not expect a quick resolution to tensions.

President Joe Biden’s administration is considering a program to restrict certain US outbound investments involving sensitive technology with key national security implications — an issue that has riled Chinese officials.

Other possible sticking points include amendments to China’s anti-espionage law which recently broadened the definition of spying while banning the transfer of information relating to national security — a move that has spooked foreign and domestic businesses.

The senior Treasury official told reporters Sunday that Washington intends to communicate its concerns over the law.

While significant disagreements may not be resolved in a single trip, the US seeks to deepen and increase the frequency of communication with China and to “stabilize the relationship,” avoiding miscommunication and expanding collaboration where possible, the official said.

Global growth, debt problems

For the US, discussions with officials from the world’s second biggest economy “are important to help spur stronger global economic growth and to tackle the mounting debt problem of the Global South,” said Wendy Cutler, vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute, discussing a prospective Yellen visit.

On Beijing’s part, officials are “looking for concrete steps taken by the US to show that ‘decoupling’ and holding back China is not the ultimate goal of the United States,” Cutler added.

But despite US policies that have drawn ire from Beijing, officials likely have an awareness of China’s continued export dependence and the importance of the US market, CFR’s Alden said.

“I think that there’s a growing awareness in Beijing that China also needs to play a role in nurturing this economic relationship with the United States, because it’s simply too important to China as well,” he added.

Washington and Beijing recently have clashed over trade, human rights and other issues.

Relations came under further stress this year when the United States shot down a Chinese balloon it said was used for surveillance — a claim China strongly denied.

But Blinken’s reception in Beijing has been seen as a symbolic sign of lowering temperatures.


The treasury secretary’s visit will be more focused on stabilizing the global economy and challenging China’s support of Russia in its ongoing land invasion of Ukraine. China has developed an uncomfortable closeness with the Kremlin — claiming neutrality in the war, but holding joint military drills and frequent state visits with Russian officials.

Still, U.S. officials hold out hope that U.S-China relations will not further deteriorate.

Yellen met with her previous Chinese counterpart, Vice Premier Liu He, in January in Switzerland and made a big speech at Johns Hopkins University in April calling for “ cooperation on the urgent global challenges of our day ” between the two countries for the sake of maintaining global stability, while supporting economic restrictions on China to advance U.S national security interests.

New developments show glimmers of what could spark a renewed relationship.

At a Paris summit on global finance last week, a deal was brokered that restructured Zambia’s debt with its creditors, which include China — Zambia’s biggest creditor holding $4.1 billion of a total $6.3 billion debt load. The deal may provide a roadmap for how China will handle restructuring deals with other nations in debt distress, and shows the Asian superpower is willing to cooperate in negotiations with other Group of 20 nations.

“I am pleased that the international community has come together to support Zambia in its time of need,” Yellen said in a statement last week.

However, there are plenty of other tensions impacting the superpowers’ relationship. The discovery of a Chinese surveillance balloon traversing over sensitive areas of the U.S. in February put a damper on her previous travel plans, and further strained relations.

U.S. lawmakers earlier this year grilled TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew about data security and the social media firm’s ties to China, with some pushing a ban on the app, popular among American youths.

And last October, the Biden administration imposed export controls to limit China’s ability to access advanced chips, which it says can be used to make weapons, commit human rights abuses and improve the speed and accuracy of China’s military logistics.

Yellen’s trip also comes as Biden considers issuing an executive order that would tighten rules on some overseas investments by U.S. companies in an effort to limit China’s ability to acquire technologies that could improve its military prowess.

Still, trade entwines the U.S. and Chinese economies. And despite strong speeches about the need to rethink the relationship, Yellen said in her Johns Hopkins address that “a full separation of our economies would be disastrous for both countries. It would be destabilizing for the rest of the world. Rather, we know that the health of the Chinese and U.S. economies is closely linked.”

China shipped more than $536 billion worth of goods to the U.S. last year. By contrast, the U.S. exported $154 billion in goods to China, according to the Census Bureau.

Yellen: ‘Open Trade and Investment’ with China Helps Us and Them ‘Gain’ — ‘Decoupling Would Be Disastrous’

During a portion of an interview with NPR on Thursday broadcast on Friday’s broadcast of NPR’s “Morning Edition,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that “open trade and investment” with China is beneficial to both countries, but there are some areas where she has concerns and “We are concerned about overdependence on China.”

Yellen said, “I think decoupling would be disastrous. Trade and investment — open trade and investment, I think, is a win-win. Both sides gain. But there are areas where we have concerns. And, as I’ve made clear — and others in the administration have as well — we will certainly take actions, for example, to protect our national security. And we have put in place export controls, for example, on advanced semiconductors. We are concerned about overdependence on China. But the concern is broader if we have overdependence on any single country for critical goods that we need, whether it’s equipment related to dealing with health threats like the coronavirus, or it’s overdependence on goods like solar panels or rare earths or critical minerals that go into electric vehicle batteries. But I would refer to this as de-risking and not decoupling. We don’t seek to sever our trade and investment relations with China. That wouldn’t be desirable for us or for them.”

James Comer Asks Treasury for All Suspicious Activity Reports Related to Burisma, Maltese Bank, Vuk Jeremić

James Comer (R-KY) is seen in front of a newspaper page with a photograph of Hunter Biden and his father President Joe Biden during the Protecting Speech from Government Interference and Social Media hearing with former Twitter employees before the …

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) asked Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to hand over all suspicious activity reports (SARs) related to the alleged $5 million bribe President Joe Biden received from a Burisma Holding executive.

“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability has reviewed government documents that allege President Biden, while serving as Vice President, solicited and received a bribe from a foreign source in return for certain actions,” Comer wrote Yellen Wednesday.

Comer’s request is in relation to a Maltese bank account opened by a Burisma executive for Hunter Biden. Emails uncovered by the nonprofit Marco Polo suggest Burisma tried to move money to the Bidens through a Maltese bank account set up by Vadym Pozharskyi.

Comer also appears to be digging deeper into the Bidens’ dealings with Serbian politician Vuk Jeremić. Comer requested that Hunter and James Biden and Jeremić turn over information about their business dealings, but all three refused to cooperate.

U.S. banks flagged over 150 SARs from Hunter and James Biden that included “large” amounts of money flagged for further review by the Treasury. SARs can contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud, according to a 2020 Senate report.

Comer requested Yellen hand over all the SARs in relation to the alleged $5 million bribe President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden each received in small sums through separate bank accounts from Burisma executive Mykola Zlochevsky. According to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), an FBI informant document indicates Zlochevsky allegedly kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with them as an “insurance policy.”

In the letter, Comer stated:

These allegations are consistent with the Committee’s ongoing investigation of the Biden family’s foreign business transactions— transactions that subpoenaed bank records have revealed allowed Biden family members and associates to profit over $10 million from foreign sources. The Committee is investigating the allegations it has reviewed and seeks documents in the Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) control, including certain Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) on file with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

Comer requested SARs related to all Burisma Holding executives, along with key additional Biden family foreign business partners and entities, no later than July 12, 2023:

1. Burisma and all corporate affiliates and subsidiaries thereof including, but not limited to, Brociti Investments Limited;

2. Mykola Zlochevsky;

3. Karina Zlochevska;

4. Vadym Pozharskyi;

5. Alexander Kotlarsky;

6. Vuk Jeremic; and

7. Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development.

Previous SARs obtained by the committee revealed a Biden associate, Rob Walker, received a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC Energy. In turn, four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified “Biden” — received a collective $1.3 million cut from the $3 million wire transfer.
