Ethics Watchdog Calls for Investigation Into Democrat Rep. Kathy Manning’s Stock Transactions
The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), a non-partisan ethics watchdog organization, demanded an investigation into Democrat Rep. Kathy Manning’s (D-NC) stock transactions after she allegedly failed to disclose up to $1.25 million in stocks adequately and possibly presented a conflict of interest.
The watchdog filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) asking to probe into Manning for failing to adequately disclose 51 trades she and her spouse made last year worth between $275,051 and $1.25 million. She only filed a periodic transaction report on February 11 — which included many tech stocks, including Meta, Amazon, Netflix, and Nvidia — that showed the couple was trading stocks throughout 2021, starting in January, and subsequently failed to follow the 45-day reporting requirement.
Manning is required to submit a periodic transaction report with the clerk in the House of Representatives within 30 to 45 days of stock transitions over $1,000, made on behalf of themselves or their spouses under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012.
The complaint explained that the trades from Manning and her spouse are directly related to congressional actions and her official duties. Several of the tech company’s stocks she reported could have been impacted by the tech-focused antitrust bills in Congress. The congresswoman was one of eight representatives that signed a letter to delay the package of antitrust legislation from moving forward in the House Judiciary Committee.
FACT’s Executive Director, Kendra Arnold, slammed the congresswoman in a press release:
The OCE must act to ensure compliance with the most fundamental ethics requirements to maintain public trust. In cases where a Member not only fails to make timely disclosures and the Member’s stock trades were related to official action, the OCE must investigate both the conflict of interest concerns and late disclosure violations. We urge the OCE to immediately investigate this situation in which Rep. Manning’s personal stock trades and official action seemingly overlapped.
“This law is extremely important and it must be strictly enforced to determine whether a Member has used nonpublic information for profit,” FACT’s complaint said. “The failure of Members to follow the most basic ethics rules they created leads to public distrust in our elected officials as a whole.”
“There is no excuse for violating this law [STOCK Act], and if Members were allowed to claim they did not know about transitions then the would be completely ineffectual and unenforceable,” the complained added. “The OCE must act to ensure compliance with the most fundamental ethics requirements and to maintain the public’s trust.”
In 2012, Congress quickly passed the STOCK Act and signed it into law after receiving substantial bipartisan support in both chambers. The legislation was introduced and promptly signed into law thanks to Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer, who in 2011 released Throw Them All Out, exposing corruption in the highest echelons of elected life.
Schweizer’s book, which exposed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and many others, revealed corruption concerns among Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill, forcing Congress into adopting the STOCK Act that implemented stricter reporting and ethics requirements.

These Democratic Megadonors Made a $108 Million ‘Lucky Bet’ on Wall Street. Now the Feds Are Investigating.
Daily Beast owner Barry Diller, Lincoln Project patron David Geffen, and German prince Alex von Fürstenberg suspected of insider trading
Federal authorities are investigating three Democratic megadonors who made an enormous bet on shares of Activision Blizzard just days before Microsoft agreed in January to acquire the video game company for $69 billion.
The U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission are both looking into the suspiciously timed trading activity of Barry Diller, owner of the Daily Beast, his stepson Alex von Fürstenberg, and his friend David Geffen, a longtime Democratic donor who gave $500,000 to the scandal-plagued Lincoln Project in 2020.
"Suspicious" is perhaps too generous a word to describe the three men's decision to buy roughly $108 million worth of Activision stock options on Jan. 14. The transaction, privately arranged through JPMorgan Chase, allowed the wealthy Democrats to buy more than four million shares of Activision at the bargain price of $40 per share. Four days later, Activision announced that Microsoft would pay $95 per share to acquire the company. Imagine that!
Diller, who has donated $2.4 million to Democratic candidates and committees since 2016, just happens to be a "long time friend" of Activision CEO Bobby Kotick. They served together on the Coca-Cola board of directors. Diller insists he did nothing wrong, telling the Wall Street Journal the amazingly profitable trade involving his friend's company was "simply a lucky bet" and "one of those coincidences."
The Daily Beast, which has published several articles about allegations of sexual misconduct at Activision on Kotick's watch, has yet to report on the insider trading investigations.
The Journal notes that Activision stock options similar to those purchased by Diller, Geffen, and von Fürstenberg were "sparsely traded" in the days before the Microsoft acquisition was announced, but "exploded" in response to the news. The wealthy Democrats' stock options instantly surged in value by more than 60 percent—an amazing coincidence, indeed.
The men have yet to exercise their options, which don't expire until 2023. They could realize a profit of about $60 million if they sold today, based on Activision's current share price of $80. They stand to make more than $100 million if the Microsoft acquisition, expected to close this summer, goes forward at the agreed-upon price of $95 per share.
Diller's stepson, von Fürstenberg, is a German prince whose family nobility dates back to the 13th century. He is also a prominent Democratic donor, having contributed more than $193,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2016. His mother, Diller's wife, is Diane von Fürstenberg, who launched a successful career as a fashion designer after briefly marrying into the royal family. Former first lady Michelle Obama is a fan of her dresses. She is even more generous when it comes to supporting the Democratic Party and its candidates, donating more than $497,000 since 2020.
Geffen is, like Diller, one of the most prolific Democratic donors in the country. In addition to the $500,000 he gave the Lincoln Project, he has donated $1.7 million to Democratic candidates and committees since 2016.
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
How Chinese Companies Linked to Hunter Biden Could Bail Out Putin
Hunter Biden is linked to two Chinese state oil companies looking to buy stakes in a Russian energy firm that has been sanctioned over Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Sinopec and China National Petroleum Corporation are in discussions with Beijing to invest in Russian gas giant Gazprom, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. Biden has done business with both Chinese firms, which hope to take advantage of deep discounts in the company’s shares in order to shore up their energy and commodity stockpiles. He may still hold an indirect investment in Sinopec.
The connections highlight longstanding concerns that Biden’s foreign entanglements help America’s adversaries. Biden met in 2011 with an executive from China National Petroleum Corporation to discuss the potential purchase of an oil field in Africa, the Washington Free Beacon reported. Biden met with the executive, Ge Aiji, even after he was told that the company had helped Iran, Sudan, and others evade U.S. sanctions.
Biden is connected to Sinopec through BHR Partners, a private equity firm he cofounded in 2013. BHR bought a $1.7 billion stake in Sinopec Marketing in 2015. Biden at one point owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners through his wholly owned firm, Skaneateles, LLC.
A lawyer for Biden told the New York Times in December that Biden no longer holds a stake in BHR or Skaneateles. But the Washington Examiner reported this week that Chinese business records still list Biden’s firm as a BHR shareholder, and Washington, D.C., records still show Biden as the firm's owner. The Examiner noted that the Chinese database may not have been updated to remove Skaneatles. Biden’s attorney did not respond to a request for clarification from the Free Beacon.
The Biden administration sanctioned Gazprom and more than a dozen companies last month in hopes of depriving Putin of money to fund the Ukraine war. The administration has also blocked a Gazprom-backed pipeline, Nord Stream 2, that would transport natural gas from Russia to Germany.
Beijing is also weighing a stake in Rusal, a Russian aluminum conglomerate that was sanctioned in 2018. China’s purchase of Russian businesses and Russian commodities would provide a lifeline to Moscow at a time when the government is trying to fund its illegal war. Any deal would likely upset the Biden administration, which warned China this week against helping Russia circumvent sanctions.
Biden has worked on several other deals that would help China meet its energy goals. CEFC China Energy paid Biden at least $6 million to find investment opportunities in energy companies in the United States and elsewhere in the West. Of that sum, the company paid Biden $1 million to represent an executive that was charged with trying to bribe African officials to buy oil drilling rights in their countries.
Biden was invested in BHR Partners when the company arranged a deal that allowed state-owned China Molybdenum to buy one of the world's largest supplies of cobalt, a precious metal used to make batteries for electric cars. BHR Partners also facilitated the sale of Michigan-based Henniges Automotive to AVIC, a Chinese defense contractor that has been sanctioned by the U.S. government because of its ties to the People’s Liberation Army.
Biden is under federal investigation over his taxes and foreign business dealings.

Peter Schweizer’s ‘Red-Handed’ Hits #1 on New York Times Bestseller List for 4th Week
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.
Addict, Degenerate and Bagman of a Corrupt Family Enterprise Exposed
Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide by Miranda Devine 224 pp Kindle 14.99 Hardcopy 24.33, ISBN978-1-63758-105-6 A Liberatio Protocol Book Imprint of Post Hill Press New York 2021
It is hard to find words to describe the debauched and sleazy satyr that is Hunter Biden and how he used his family name and his father’s status as an important American politician to become an extraordinary international grifter involved in multi-million dollar -- sometimes billion dollar -- deals with international entities that included corrupt criminal enterprises such as Burisma Holdings of Ukraine and the government- and military-controlled companies of Russia and China, international enemies of the United States.
His business activities and lifestyle were revealed on the laptop he left in a Wilmington, Delaware Mac computer repair shop owned by a Mr. Isaac, who took possession after Hunter failed to pick it up after 90 days. Mr. Isaac had already fixed the water damage and looked at the contents, found discussions about Burisma (the Ukrainian oil and gas company) so he arranged through his father, a retired Air Force Colonel, to turn the laptop over to the FBI in Arizona.
Mr. Isaac kept a hard drive copy to protect himself. Then he made some inquiries after the FBI failed to do anything. The inquiry that was most productive was to Rudy Giuliani, who was Trump’s personal attorney and very interested in the Burisma matter. Mr. G had an old DOJ colleague named Costello from his federal prosecutor days who was an IT expert, and the hard drive was analyzed. Then, in October, it was presented to the New York Post for the bombshell it was -- proof of Hunter’s grifting and also proof that Joe Biden lied when he claimed he didn’t know anything about Hunter’s international machinations involving corrupt Ukrainians and nefarious Chinese and Russian autocrats/plutocrats.
The plot thickened as the Post did its due diligence. A full-court press was initiated to suppress and censor the Post's publication of the laptop materials in October of 2020, the run-up to the election and the interval in the debates being held between Trump and Biden.
Biden denied Trump’s accusations about corruption and influence peddling. Former CIA director John Brennan organized a letter by deep state intelligence doyens who claimed it was just Russian disinformation and the major social media banned the Post and anyone who quoted Post stories about the laptop.
The scandal of a lifetime -- son of a president selling his name and living a despoiled life of excess -- sidling up to Russian and Chinese on deals involving millions -- while living the life of a depraved sex fiend and cocaine/alcohol abuser.
My opinion is that if Hunter’s choice of drugs had leaned more to opiates he would be dead. But instead, the president’s scion lived the manic life of a cocaine addict bouncing in and out of rehab and even prompting repeat inquiries from his father about his situation, with the implication that Joe Biden was hesitant to run for president if Hunter was on the streets of the world hustling foreign investment deals, whoring, drinking, throwing money around and smoking crack cocaine.
Is that a mouthful -- Joe Biden, head of a corrupt enterprise -- proof of Joe’s sharing of Hunter's ill-gotten gains, trying to keep Hunter from blowing up his presidential ambitions? Imagine, a presidential candidate involved in an intervention of his addict son who was traveling the world selling the family name with his father’s support and approval. At one point the Chinese patron Hunter was taking money from and working on investments with even offered Hunter a side/back door deal of 10 million dollars just for “introductions” and “access,’’ certainly nothing more than selling the Biden name as a door opener.
The book revealing the details of the decadent life and dirty deals has been written by the New York Post’s journalist Miranda Devine about one year after Joe Biden was supposedly elected president of the United States. Here we are, and like the people trying to expose the election fraud, Ms. Devine is working uphill against a media and political army intent on burying the scandal and censoring the journalists who would expose the vile degenerate corrupt wickedness of Hunter and the enabling and complicit behavior of so many in the family’s close political circle of important and not so important players,
Laptop From Hell covers the life of the Biden family and focuses on the life of Hunter during the period of time exposed in the laptop: 2005 to 2020. Robert Hunter Biden was the third child of Joe Biden, born in 1970. In 1972 when Hunter was almost 3 his mother and younger sister were killed in a truck car crash when his mother ran a stop sign -- they were not struck by a drunk driver as Joe Biden has claimed so many times. Hunter and Beau, his older brother, were injured, Hunter with a head injury, and Joe Biden was sworn in as a newly elected and very young US Senator in the hospital room where the boys were recuperating.
The death of his mother and elective office of his father aside, Hunter had an unremarkable childhood, graduated from Georgetown with a history degree, and did religious volunteer work for a year before entering Georgetown Law after failing to get admission to Yale. He was advised a transfer would be available after Georgetown and was accepted and graduated Yale Law in 1996, becoming an attorney for a bank and credit card company in Delaware, MBNA. Delaware is and was the most corporate and bank/credit card company-friendly state in the nation. MBNA has been a major contributor to the Joe Biden campaigns. In two years, he was executive vice president then he went to the Clinton administration Dept. of Commerce until Bush became president and then he became a lobbyist but quit lobbying when his father was elected Vice President.
From 2006 forward, Hunter was active in investment banking with a focus on natural resource extraction and technology. A sequence of investment entities was formed, first with Uncle James, then with Devon Archer (now in prison for fraud) and Chris Heinz (yes, Ketchup heir Chris, who dropped out because of concern about the appearance of influence peddling).
Hunter’s China connections started with a discounted stake in a China investment company, and that was followed with multiple Chinese generated arrangements built on his father’s status as Vice President, Air Force Two and other visits with Chinese asset managers that were always connected to the Bank of China and Chicom political and military leaders/autocrats. The lifestyle depicted from the laptop shows that a lot of big money flowed to Hunter during those years, from China and other sources, like Burisma, that paid him $83 K a month to be on the board until Joe Biden stepped down after the 2016 election and then Burisma reduced the monthly to $40 K plus.
Laptop from Hell puts on display the personal life of a sociopath -- whoring, partying, blowing gigantic amounts of money on expensive hotels, toys, clothes, cars, homes -- excesses that can only be marveled at along with mistreatment of friends, associates, family, involvement in criminal and immoral nihilistic behavior. Hunter is a monument to bad parenting -- so he is Exhibit One for the case that Joe and Jill Biden are their own form of sociopath -- sociopathic behavior runs in families for a reason.
When you read the book, a very good story of vile and vicious degeneracy and decadence for sure, consider this description from Psychology Today:
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) describes an ingrained pattern of behavior in which individuals consistently disregard and violate the rights of others around them. Individuals with antisocial personality disorder may behave violently, recklessly, or impulsively, often with little regard for the wants and needs of others. The disorder is best understood within the context of the broader category of personality disorders. A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of personal experience and behavior that deviates noticeably from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to personal distress or impairment.
The symptoms of antisocial personality disorder can vary in severity, and consequences can include imprisonment, drug abuse, and alcoholism. The more egregious, harmful, or dangerous behavior patterns are often colloquially referred to as “sociopathic” or “psychopathic.” Although neither sociopathy nor psychopathy are official diagnostic terms in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), . . . the constructs are thought to be closely related.
People with antisocial personality disorder may seem charming on the surface, but they are likely to be irritable and aggressive as well as irresponsible. Due to their manipulative tendencies, it may be difficult to tell whether they are lying or telling the truth.
The diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is not given to individuals under the age of 18. However, ASPD symptoms will first appear in childhood or adolescence and may garner a diagnosis of conduct disorder during that time. Antisocial personality disorder is much more common in males than in females. The highest prevalence of antisocial personality disorder is found among males who abuse alcohol or drugs or who are in prisons or other forensic settings
In history, sociopaths have played important destructive roles because they have no moral compass and no commitment to virtuous conduct. A republic cannot stand without a virtuous people.
"[V]irtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government."
George Washington
"Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics."

iden's Tough Guy Talk on US Corporations Cozying Up to China Is Just That...Talk
By John Moore | March 3, 2022 | 10:55am EST
The Biden Administration knows how to talk the talk on China, but it certainly doesn’t know how to walk the walk.
For proof of the administration’s tough talk, look no further than when reporters recently asked the White House about SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk opening a showroom in China’s Xinjiang region. That’s the area where over a million Uyghur Muslims are believed to be detained against their will in re-education camps.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki left no doubt about what seemed to be the Biden Administration’s tough stance against this latest move from Musk, a repeat China offender.
“We’ve been clear about our views on the ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang,” Psaki said. “Companies that fail to address forced labor in their supply chains and other human rights abuses face serious legal, reputational, and customer risk.”
With that kind of resolve, it’s easy to imagine the Chinese government and any U.S. company thinking of doing business with China quaking at the thought of the severe consequences. The trouble is, China and its business partners know the Biden White House has hardly been consistent.
On Feb. 23, the administration ended the U.S. initiative to stop espionage from the Chinese Communist Party despite the fact that the CCP continues to spy on Americans at a disturbing pace.
And it doesn’t end there.
Although the Biden Administration signed Sen. Marco Rubio’s Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law, it reportedly wanted to weaken it. "While the administration supports the legislation in public, [it asked] Democrats to essentially water it down in private," according to The Washington Post.
At the same time, the administration also allowed U.S. athletes to participate in the recently concluded Beijing Winter Olympics. Even though the U.S. did not send diplomats or official representatives to China for the event, that symbolic boycott didn’t accomplish much since U.S. Olympic athletes and their sponsors were still involved.
The hypocrisy of Psaki and other administration officials condemning U.S. companies for doing business in China while the executive branch continues to help lavish positive attention to the nation and its brutal communist government is undeniable.
So it’s no wonder that what Sen. Rubio categorizes as “nationless” American companies, like Musk’s Tesla, continue to do business in China generally – and the Xinjiang region specifically. They know that the White House’s talk is cheap and that, despite its signing of legislation that signals the contrary, there will be no real consequences for doing so.
While Musk and Tesla are the most recent example of a U.S. company cozying up to China, they are far from the only ones. Nike and Coca-Cola were “among the major companies and business groups lobbying Congress to weaken a bill that would ban imported goods made with forced labor in China’s Xinjiang region,” according to The New York Times.
In July 2021, Reuters reported that a congressional commission “has called on Hilton Worldwide not to allow its name to be associated with a hotel project on the site of a mosque bulldozed by authorities in China’s Xinjiang region, where Washington says minority Muslims have been victims of genocide.” The Biden Administration said nothing.
The irony of the Biden Administration reluctantly signing the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act into law while continuing to silently weaken enforcement mechanisms against the country and prop up the communist regime is not lost on the Uyghur population. Uyghur restaurant owner Hamid Kerim told Fox News he could not watch the Olympics “because it reminds him of his brother and sister-in-law who are imprisoned in his home of Xinjiang.”
“If I watch this Olympics, in my eyes I can see my brothers, my sister, my nation, and my motherland,” Kerim said. “His very difficult life in jail. Very difficult life in camp, very difficult life in cheap labor factory. … So, I think this Olympics is [the] genocide Olympics; this is no normal Olympics.”
None of this is breaking news to all of those who are familiar with President Biden’s record. As Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) aptly put it in a recent Senate Floor speech, “This is no surprise given the fact that Joe Biden has been soft on China for 50 years.”
When he was vice president, Biden said, “a rising China is a positive development not only for China, but for America and the world writ large.” During his run for president, Biden said China was not a threat to the United States. At a campaign stop, he said, “they're not bad folks....They're not competition for us.”
So, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that nationless U.S. corporations continue to run wild in China under his reign.
At the highest level of government, they know they have an ally — and that’s as big of a national security problem as they come.

Justice Department Ends Initiative Aimed at Chinese Espionage over Concerns of Racism
The Biden Justice Department is ending an initiative aimed at Chinese espionage and intellectual property theft over concerns it created a perception of racism, according to a top official on Wednesday.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security Matthew Olsen announced during a speech at George Mason University that the department was scrapping its China Initiative, even though an internal review found no indication of racial bias or prejudice.
Olsen said, according to a transcript of his speech:
We have heard concerns from the civil rights community that the ‘China Initiative’ fueled a narrative of intolerance and bias. To many, that narrative suggests that the Justice Department treats people from China or of Chinese descent differently. The rise in anti-Asian hate crime and hate incidents only heightens these concerns. The Department is keenly aware of this threat and is enhancing efforts to combat acts of hate.
He said there were also increasing concerns from the academic and scientific community about research grant fraud cases, which included cases where individuals allegedly did not disclose financial ties to China.
“We have heard that these prosecutions — and the public narrative they create — can lead to a chilling atmosphere for scientists and scholars that damages the scientific enterprise in this country,” Olsen said.
“Safeguarding the integrity and transparency of research institutions is a matter of national security. But so is ensuring that we continue to attract the best and the brightest researchers and scholars to our country from all around the world,” he added.
Although he said the China Initiative was driven by “genuine national security concerns,” by grouping cases under the China Initiative rubric, “We helped give rise to a harmful perception” the Department views those with Chinese ties “differently.”
Olsen said the DOJ is replacing the initiative with a “broader approach.”
The Trump administration launched the China Initiative in 2018, aimed at countering Chinese espionage efforts that included paying professors at American universities for access to research funded by U.S. government grants.
Democrat lawmakers applauded the decision. Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, said the program had caused harm “to our communities.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, slammed the DOJ’s decision.
He said in a statement, “The CCP has stolen trillions of dollars of American intellectual property, destroyed millions of American jobs, and turned students and researchers studying in the United States into foreign spies. Yet today, the Biden administration announced it’s cancelling the initiative tasked with combatting the Chinese government’s unprecedented domestic sabotage and aggression because they claim it’s racist. Cancelling this initiative is just another instance of weakness from an administration more concerned with being politically correct than protecting Americans. And you can be sure our adversaries are watching.
