Joe Biden Says He Met Alone 68 Times with Xi Jinping
President Joe Biden said he “met alone” with Chinese President Xi Jinping when he was vice president because it was inappropriate for former President Barack Obama to meet with him.
While speaking in Chicago about his failing economy and plan to revive it, Biden told the crowd a story about his lengthy experience with Xi, the head of the Chinese Communist Party, which has tentacles throughout Biden family business deals.
“I was on the Tibetan plateau with Xi Jinping. I traveled 17,000 miles with him. I spoke with him and it started when I was vice president and he was the vice president. We knew he was going to be the successor,” Biden said.
“It was inappropriate for Barack to spend time with him but I spent a lot of time with him,” he said. “I met alone with him, just he and I, along with a simultaneous interpreter, 68 times, 68 hours, 68 times — more than 68 hours — by the way, I turned in all my notes.”

Joe Biden took 411 trips while he was vice president. One of the 411 trips was to Beijing, China, in 2013 under the “trappings” of a family vacation.
Hunter flew to China with his father aboard Air Force Two. During the excursion, Hunter introduced Joe Biden to his Chinese business partner and Chinese private equity executive Jonathan Li, who is the CEO of the same company linked to Chinese energy interests.
Ten days after the visit to China, Hunter secured a ten percent interest in BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund co-founded with Li. The fund’s capitalization was $1 billion.
The Bank of China, a state-owned bank, controls BHR Partners. BHR Partners’ website boasts 15 billion RMB in various portfolio companies, translating to more than two billion USD.
Hunter Biden held a ten percent interest in BHR with the entity Skaneateles LLC. Hunter Biden controlled Skaneateles, according to Chinese public records from Baidu, as the sole governor until its dissolution in September 2021, a Washington, DC, registration indicated. Documents obtained by Breitbart News, first revealed by nonprofit Marco Polo, show the control of Skaneateles LLC is held by Kevin Morris, Hunter Biden’s top attorney, who also paid Hunter Biden’s IRS debts.
In 2017, Jonathan Li, the CEO of investment fund BHR, reached out to Hunter Biden and his business partners Devon Archer and Jim Bulger for advice about a college application for his son. Bulger was a part of the CEFC Energy deal with “10 held by H for the big guy,” according to a 2017 email from Hunter Biden’s laptop.

The CEFC chairman was Ye Jianming, who paid Hunter a $1 million retainer fee for legal services in 2017. Hunter also received a large diamond from Ye in February 2017 worth an estimated $80,000. Ye “had direct abiding and deep ties to Chinese intelligence when they were arranging these ideals for the Bidens,” according to Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute president Peter Schweizer.
“The Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the chairman wants from this partnership,” Hunter Biden told a CEFC associate in 2017.
It appears many Biden family members accepted money from a deal with CEFC. The House Oversight Committee revealed in March that CEFC controlled State Energy HK Limited, a company linked to the $1.3 million collective payments to the Biden family members.
Through the Biden family’s suspicious activity reports (SARs), the committee also discovered a Biden associate, Rob Walker, received a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC. 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.

The Biden-Harris Administration Is Letting Chinese Nicotine Traffickers Infiltrate the U.S.
The following content is sponsored by Preserving American Freedoms.
President Joe Biden has always had a blind spot for the Chinese threat. “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” he once said. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks.”
Well, those “not bad folks” are currently flooding the U.S. with illegal disposable flavored vapes marketed directly to children as the Biden-Harris Food and Drug Administration (FDA) looks the other way.
According to a bombshell report from The Associated Press, “the number of different electronic cigarette devices sold in the U.S. has nearly tripled to over 9,000 since 2020, driven almost entirely by a wave of unauthorized disposable vapes from China.”
This explosive growth in illegal Chinese nicotine trafficking is a testimony to the fecklessness and incompetence of the FDA, an agency that in 2018 labelled youth vaping an “epidemic,” and by 2020 banned almost all flavored e-cigarettes.
These policy changes allowed Chinese companies to corner the global market on disposable flavored vapes containing synthetic nicotine. More alarming, as former Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Tom Price has written, “reports suggest these Chinese manufacturers are also boosting these disposable vapes with illegal levels of nicotine to increase addiction levels among our children.”
According to the most recent National Youth Tobacco Survey, roughly 2.5 million American youth use e-cigarettes, and 85 percent of them use “banned” flavored products. It is estimated that 90 percent of these vaping products originate in China. According to a report, Chinese nicotine traffickers use social media platforms like TikTok to “sway teens to take up vaping.” #ElfBar, a hashtag promoting the popular Chinese-made disposable vape company that sells flavors like Rainbow Cotton Candy, has over 2.1 billion views on TikTok alone.
The significant majority of these bad actors operate completely unimpeded by the Biden-Harris FDA. The harshest penalties received to date have been sternly worded warning letters from the agency. Little wonder that a recent investigation showed that banned Chinese vapes are available for sale right next door to the FDA’s headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland. This gross lack of enforcement raises serious doubts about the FDA’s commitment to protecting public health and its transparency in addressing this issue.
The Reagan-Udall Foundation, an independent non-profit, issued a scathing report condemning the FDA’s failure to stem the tidal wave of illicit products, writing that, “the Agency has not been transparent regarding the reasons it has failed to clear the market of illegal products, or even whether its policy preference is to do so, contributing to stakeholder frustration and, in some situations, additional litigation.”
The Biden-Harris administration doesn’t appear to be too concerned with China’s vape invasion of the U.S., but you can help STOP it.
ACT NOW by contacting your member of Congress today and tell them to STOP the flow of illegal vapes from China.
