The mainstream media reporters are still missing the real story—bribery likely took place during Joe and Hunter Biden’s involvement with Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Peter Schweizer’s ‘Red-Handed’ Hits #1 on New York Times Bestseller List for 4th Week

REBECCA MANSOUR
Peter Schweizer’s blockbuster new book Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win has landed at number one on the New York Times bestseller list for a fourth week since its release by HarperCollins, after dropping to number two on the list last week.
Schweizer, whose past books have sparked an FBI investigation and exposed congressional insider trading that spearheaded groundbreaking legislation, has called the revelations in Red-Handed the “scariest” of his quarter-century career investigating corruption.
As the book’s subtitle states, Red-Handed exposes the vast complicity of elites – from politicians to diplomats to business, tech, and entertainment tycoons – who have enriched themselves by advancing the interests of China’s communist regime.
Schweizer, who is the president of the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and a Breitbart News senior contributor, spent over a year conducting the research for Red-Handed with his team of forensic investigators at GAI, combing through a trove of financial and corporate records. The book contains 1,093 endnotes and 81 pages of source material with no off-the-record sources, making it easier for federal law enforcement and U.S. intelligence services to track down the book’s bombshell revelations.
Last month, U.S. House Republicans introduced the “Stop CCP Act” to impose sanctions on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials, including Chinese dictator Xi Jinping and his family, Breitbart reported last moth. The legislative proposal comes on the heels of the shocking revelations in Schweizer’s book.
Leaders on Capitol Hill — including Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) — are also calling for Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate the revelations in Red-Handed concerning President Joe Biden’s family members’ business dealings with individuals with direct ties to the highest levels of China’s spy apparatus.
The New York Post’s editorial board echoed these calls in an op-ed headlined, “Appoint a special counsel on Hunter Biden—now.”
Breitbart’s coverage of Red-Handed’s revelations include:
· How the Biden family scored some $31 million from five deals in China, all with individuals with direct ties to the highest levels of China’s intelligence apparatus
· How a Chinese global energy company linked to a Chinese intelligence operation sent close to $6 million to Hunter Biden in 2017
· How American elites — including the Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe — purposefully aid the communist regime of China
· How donations from Communist China to the University of Pennsylvania almost tripled after the university established a “Biden Center” in 2017 and gave former Vice President Joe Biden a professorship
· How Hunter Biden planned to share his family’s office space in Washington, DC, with a Chinese intelligence-linked firm that employed a man Hunter described as “ the f**king spy chief of China ”
· How Hunter Biden’s business deals were helpful to the Belt and Road Initiative, which is China’s colonialist scheme for buying influence across the Third World and luring poor nations into taking loans from Chinese banks they can never repay
· How 23 former U.S. senators and congressmen (most of whom are Republican) have lobbied for Chinese military or intelligence-linked companies after leaving office
· How 20 Republicans from the highest levels of our government sold out to China
· How politicians use tepid criticism of China’s human rights abuses as cover to continue doing Beijing’s bidding — a concept the CCP refers to as “ big help with a little bad mouth ”
· How members of the Bush family cashed in on friendship with the Chinese official involved in the Tiananmen Square massacre
· How the husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee, was the part owner of a Chinese firm that allegedly sold computers with spyware chips to the U.S. military
· How House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) softened her previous criticism of the Chinese Communist Party as her husband and son scored big business deals in China
· How Pelosi reined in her criticism of the 2008 Beijing Olympics after her family members were involved in business ventures in China that would benefit from the 2008 Games
· How Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has followed in his father Pierre’s footsteps both in assuming high office and in using it to further the interests of the Chinese Communist Party
· How a CCP regime-linked company promoted Justin Trudeau’s entry into politics by publishing a Chinese language edition of Pierre Trudeau’s travelogue through Maoist China during the Cultural Revolution
· How Wall Street titan Steve Schwarzman of Blackstone launched a $100 million global education scholarship program for Americans and other students studying in China to inculcate the superiority of Chinese communism
· How Antony Blinken helped American universities “navigate problems” of legally balancing their Pentagon contracts while still accepting Chinese funding of dubious origin , and how he encouraged the U.S. government to deny political asylum to a high profile Chinese Communist Party defector who could have been a priceless intelligence asset for the United States
· How American universities have often not complied with federal laws when it comes to accepting donations linked to the Chinese Communist Party
Schweizer’s track record investigating both Republicans and Democrats is well-established, winning him a unique mix of bipartisan praise for his investigative work from both the left and the right. After the release of Schweizer’s bestselling Clinton Cash , liberal columnist Eleanor Clift called Schweizer “an equal-opportunity investigator, snaring Republicans as well as Democrats.” Clift added: “It’s a mistake for the Clinton campaign to write off conservative author Peter Schweizer as a right-wing hack. It won’t work, and it’s not true.” Similarly, Harvard Law School Professor Lawrence Lessing wrote that “on any fair reading, the pattern of behavior that Schweizer has charged is corruption.”
Schweizer is also the author of Throw Them All Out , which, according to left-leaning Slate , was “the book that started the STOCK Act stampede.” The bipartisan STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) banned insider trading by members of Congress and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The legislation received overwhelming support from both parties. One of the main figures featured in Schweizer’s Throw Them All Out , then-chairman of the House Financial Services Committee Spencer Bachus (R-AL), announced he would not seek reelection after the book’s reporting. CBS’s 60 Minutes did an investigative report on Schweizer’s revelations that won them the Joan Shorenstein Barone Award for excellence in Washington-based journalism.

CHINA’S OLD WHORE SEN. DIANNE FEINSTEIN, AMERICA’S BIGGEST WAR PROFITEER, WAS FIRST TO ENDORSE BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT. WONDER WHY???
As Glenn Bunting of the Los Angeles Times reported in 1997, Feinstein’s husband Richard Blum “has expanded his private business interests in China – to the point that his firm is now a prominent investor inside the communist nation.” In 1995, Dianne Feinstein became a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “giving her a prominent platform for her efforts to support China’s trade privileges.”
As Ben Weingarten noted in the Federalist in 2018, Feinstein’s husband has “profited handsomely from the greatly expanded China trade she supported.” The senator also “served as a key intermediary between China and the U.S. government, while serving on committees whose work would be of keen interest to the PRC.”
For 20 years, through three election cycles, Feinstein maintained on her staff a Chinese spy who would even attend consular functions for the California Democrat. One wonders what the FBI knew, when they knew it, and what they did about it, if anything.
Other politicians with China business connections include Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi , whose husband has conducted a series of deals in the Communist nation. Recall that Speaker Pelosi kept Eric Swalwell on the House Intelligence Committee even after his “PoonFang” liaisons with a Chinese spy (FEINSTEIN LONG EMPLOYED A CHINESE SPY).
White Flag Supremacy Biden’s signals of surrender.
Fri Mar 19, 2021
Lloyd Billingsley
“I cannot for the life of me understand some of the capabilities that they’re putting in the field, unless it is an aggressive posture.” That was Admiral Philip Davidson, head of Indo-Pacific command, in recent testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee. “They” was a reference to China, and as Fox News headlined the story, “ US losing military edge in Asia as China looks like it is planning for war.”
If embattled Americans wonder how Joe Biden might respond, they might start with the man who orchestrated the move to put vice president Biden at the head of China policy. That would be Tom Donilon, a longtime Democrat activist and adviser to Biden’s first presidential campaign in 1988. In 2010, Donilon’s selection for National Security Advisor troubled Robert Scheer of The Nation.
“Why in the world would President Obama, whose legacy has been sabotaged by a housing crisis that Donilon helped create and conceal, have hired him to run the most sensitive position of public trust in his administration?” As the president so often demonstrated, Scheer wrote, “it’s the top hustlers of whom he seems enamored.”
Donilon never served in the military, but as Robert Gates noted in Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary of State at War, Donilon blasted the United States military as “in revolt” and “insubordinate.” Donilon also “bridled” when Gen. McChrystal announced a counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan. Gates found that stance rather troubling.
“Troops riskin g their lives need to be told that their goal is to ‘defeat’ those trying to kill them,” he explains in Duty . “But such terms were viewed in the White House as borderline insubordinate political statements by generals.” So for Biden’s China mentor, and his White House boss, American troops were not to defeat their enemies and win their conflicts.
Joe Biden never served in the military, and as Gates noted, Biden had been on the wrong side of nearly every foreign policy issue over the past 40 years. Biden opposed the raid on Osama bin Laden and with Iran the vice president’s first move was to wave the white flag.
In 2016, four Iranian gunboats captured 10 U.S. Navy sailors, who “ surrendered rather than opening fire .” Vice president Biden told CBS News , “there was no looking for any apology. This was just standard nautical practice.” It wasn’t “standard practice” to send planeloads of cash to Iran’s “death to America” Islamic regime, but the vice president had no problem with it.
Biden claimed to agree with the hit on Islamic state terrorist al-Baghdadi, but said it happened despite President Trump’s “ ineptitude ” as commander-in-chief. In January of 2020, when Trump took out Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, Biden blasted Trump as a liar and said the strike “takes us a heck of a lot closer to war.”
During the 2020 campaign Biden said the Chinese Communists were “ not bad folks ,” and “not competition for us.” In January of 2020, when President Trump shut down travel from China, Biden called the move “ xenophobic fear-mongering .” In 2021, Biden proclaims “ I’m not going to speak out ” against Chinese concentration camps or Chinese aggression in Taiwan and Hong Kong. For Joe Biden, China’s genocidal Communist regime operates under “different norms.” That surely pleases Xi Jinping, as he surveys the correlation of forces.
The United States has troops in Afghanistan but does not deploy the military to protect its own southern border, which Joe Biden has proclaimed open to all comers. American sailors surrendered to Iran, and Joe Biden approved. The FBI and America’s vaunted “intelligence community” failed to protect the nation against the 9/11 attacks, on the scale of Pearl Harbor, but this same community deployed in force against Donald Trump, Joe Biden’s 2020 opponent. Indeed, his administration regards people who voted for Trump as the primary threat to the United States.
When the primary threat was the Soviet Union, the United States never allowed the USSR to manufacture products for the American market, in the style of current deals with China. President Ronald Reagan, did serve in the U.S. military, during wartime, and had no relatives with lucrative business deals in Moscow. Reagan called the USSR an “evil empire,” and challenged Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”
Joe Biden has never denounced a Chinese Communist regime that murdered more 60 million people, according to the Black Book of Communism . Even after the Tiananmen Square massacre, Sen. Biden wanted China in the World Trade Organization, without any accounting for genocide and with no democratic reforms. As vice president, Biden deployed his son Hunter to cultivate lucrative deals with Chinese companies.
Joe Biden is now the figurehead for term three of the “composite character” president David Garrow described in Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama . He was known for “ leading from behind ,” and the addled Biden even fails that absurdity. He’s already waved the white flag with Islamic terrorism and would doubtless do the same with Communist China, now preparing for war according to Admiral Davidson.
Rep.: ‘Swalwell Couldn't Get Clearance to be a Mall Security Guard,’ But Pelosi Puts Him on Top Security Panels By Craig Bannister | March 18, 2021 | 5:01pm EDT

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) “is privy to some of our nation’s most classified secrets,” even though he “couldn’t get clearance to be a mall security guard,” Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) says.
“Only in Washington,” Rep. Buchanan tweeted, noting that House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) appointed Swalwell to Congress’ top national security panels, even though there is a push to remove him from such committees due to his recently-revealed previous ties to a Chinese spy:
“Shockingly, Speaker Pelosi just reappointed Swalwell to the Intelligence Committee and, get this, also put him on the Homeland Security Committee. Swalwell couldn't get clearance to be a mall security guard yet he is on the two most important national security panels in Congress? Only in Washington.”
Rep. Buchanan called it the “definition of irony” that Swalwell would invoke “McCarthyism” to ward off criticism of his participation in the committees:
“Definition of irony: Partisan Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, who promoted the Russian collusion hoax for years, is now squealing that he is the victim of ‘McCarthyism.’
“An effort is underway in the U.S. House to remove Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee, which is privy to some of our nation's most classified secrets. Why? Because it was learned recently that he was cavorting with a Chinese spy.”

As CNSNews.com reported last December, it was revealed that Swalwell had been targeted by an attractive woman as part of a Chinese influence operation. She met Swalwell in 2011 when he was an up-and-coming city councilman. She bundled cash for his congressional campaign – he was first elected to the House in 2012 -- and even helped place an intern in Swalwell's congressional office.
"Well, I don't have any concern about Mr. Swalwell," Pelosi said at the time, reacting to the news.
In First Big China Test, Team Biden Got Rolled...And It's Painful to Watch

Team Biden had their first big foreign policy test with China—and they failed. There’s no way to spin it. Even the liberal media is saying the whole meeting in Alaska devolved into anarchy. This meeting is supposedly the one that will determine if President Depends is going to meet with Xi Jinping. By how things turned out, I don’t think we should even consider it. Why embarrass the United States even more? Secretary of State Tony Blinken just exposed how weak we are in dealing with China. They know it. We got trashed on our own soil and from the looks of it, we didn’t really respond in any way, shape, or form. We got rolled in front of the cameras (via Daily Beast ):
In his opening remarks, Blinken reportedly criticized China for its treatment of Uyghur minorities, its cyber attacks against the U.S., and its tight grasp on Hong Kong.
According to Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs, Jiechi responded by saying that the U.S. is the “champion” of cyber attacks, that it has a “deeply-rooted human rights problem”—including its history of killing Black people—and that the country doesn’t represent “global public opinion.”
[…]
The Alaska talks were to be a deciding factor on whether U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will be meeting next month, according to earlier reporting by Bloomberg. The fiery exchange on Thursday may have put the prospects of that meeting into question.

The final insult was when top Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi said, “So, let me say here that in front of the Chinese side, the United States does not have the qualifications to say that it wants to speak to China from a position of strength.” It’s all in the clips, a rather ignominious ‘watch until the end’ footnote regarding that exercise.

China knows Biden is weak. They know we’re weak. And they came barreling through the line of scrimmage like Brandon Jacobs. This is the basement ambush in Donnie Brasco . It’s a bloody mess.
Joe will eventually meet with Jinping at some point, but Beijing is bound to go in for the kill when Biden forgets where he is during whatever conversation these two men will have. It’s only a matter of time. Then again, since Joe is a
Reports: Xi Jinping to Skip India-Hosted G-20 Summit After Publishing ‘China’ Map Stealing Indian Land KENZABURO FUKUHARA/AFP/Getty Images 6:36
Multiple news outlets reported on Thursday that genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping is planning not to attend the G-20 leaders’ summit in New Delhi, India, on September 9.
Reuters and the Agence France-Presse (AFP) both claimed to speak to anonymous Indian officials who confirmed that the country is not expecting the Communist Party chief to visit in the near future. Chinese Premier Li Qiang will attend the summit instead, according to Reuters .
Reuters cited two sources within the Indian government in a report on Thursday stating that New Delhi does not expect Xi to be present for the summit. The alleged officials claimed they were planning for Premier Li Qiang to be present, but Beijing never gave a reason for Xi’s absence. AFP published a similar report but cited a European Union official. The European Union, as a whole, is one of the 20 members of the G-20.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry has neither confirmed nor denied the reports at press time regarding Xi’s attendance at the event. Indian media reported on Friday that Xi is believed to be the only leader invited to the event not to have given India the courtesy of an RSVP with a week to go before the summit. The only two leaders known to have declined the invitation are leftists Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico and Vladimir Putin of Russia. Far-left American President Joe Biden is expected to attend, as is conservative Japanese Foreign Minister Kishida Fumio, leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, socialist convicted felon President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, among others.
Hosting the G-20 Summit, which brings together the leaders of the world’s largest economies, is considered a prestigious privilege, one that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expecting to use to advertise India as a foreign investment paradise and lure major global corporations to expand operations in the country.
By snubbing the summit, if reports are true, Xi would effectively be issuing a vote of no confidence for India’s presidency of the organization, straining already difficult relations between the two countries. Xi has attended every G-20 summit that has occurred since he became his nation’s dictator in 2013, with the exception of the 2021 summit in Rome as a result of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Especially given that Xi visited South Africa less than a month before the New Delhi summit is scheduled to occur, there is no overt reason for his absence the way that there was at the height of the pandemic.

While India and China retain diplomatic ties — Xi and Modi met in person in August during the BRICS summit in South Africa — China dramatically escalated tensions this week by publishing a new “standard” map of China, including large pieces of the sovereign territory of India, outraging the nation’s External Affairs Ministry.
India and China have engaged in several military battles on their mutual borders in the past half-decade, most notoriously the Galwan Valley battle in which Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers attacked Indian border troops within Indian territory. An estimated 20 Indian and 40 Chinese soldiers died in the bloody exchange despite neither side wielding firearms.
Addressing the rumors that Xi would skip the summit, Foreign Policy expanding BRICS coalition — and to “undermine New Delhi’s efforts to establish itself as a global leader.”
BRICS is a coalition composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — the countries that give it its name — but it recently approved applications for six new members: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Argentina, Egypt, and Ethiopia. The BRICS countries focused heavily during their summit in August on economic developments, attempting to divorce their economies from the U.S. dollar and establish a “development bank” to rival the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. BRICS, in many ways, is an alternative to the G-20, even though all five of the original BRICS countries and two of the newly approved members are in the G-20.
New Delhi’s “efforts to establish itself as a global leader” have been transparently directed at enticing foreign business in China to abandon that economy for India’s. Modi launched an initiative in 2014 known as “Make in India ” designed to attract foreign companies to manufacture in the country, often seeking to encourage them to shut down operations in China. In the aftermath of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic — when China shut down entire cities and forced thousands into oppressive and unsanitary quarantine camps — India successfully attracted deals to build factories and other facilities for major tech companies Apple and Foxconn. Walmart, meanwhile, tripled imports from India, at China’s expense, in 2020.
Territorial disputes add to the already simmering tensions arising from economic competition. On Wednesday, China’s National Resources Ministry published the 2023 edition of the “standard map ” of China, which observers noted included slices of territory far from China’s borders belonging to India, Vietnam, and the Philippines, among others. The entire sovereign nation of Taiwan appeared on the map as part of China.
2023 China Standard Map (China Ministry of Natural Resources)
India’s state of Arunachal Pradesh and other parts of Himalayan northern India appeared on the map as “Zangnan,” or “south Tibet.” China regularly and illegally claims northern India as its own.
“This is not the first time China has made such an attempt. We reject this outright,” External Affairs Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said on Tuesday. “Arunachal Pradesh is, has been, and will always be an integral and inalienable part of India. Attempts to assign invented names will not alter this reality.”
External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar dismissed the map as “absurd” and called it an “old habit” of the communists’ to falsely claim Indian land.
“Putting out maps with parts in India doesn’t change anything. Our government is very clear about territory. Making absurd claims does not make other people’s territories yours,” Jaishankar said.
