  "In a day when half the US population remained transfixed by the ongoing
   revelations about the contents of Hunter Biden's "laptop from hell" and
   the other half was doing everything in its power to ignore the news
   which the socials have conveniently been desperate to censor, a far
   less noticed but perhaps just as important investigative report
   authored by the unknown Typhoon Investigations, was released by
   Christopher Balding, Associate Professor at Peking University HSBC
   School of Business Shenzhen, China and also Bloomberg contributor 
   (which is odd considering the clear anti-Trump bias of the Bloomberg
   media empire) exposing Biden activities in China which "the press has
   simply refused to cover", and which reveals "how Biden was compromised
   by the Communist Party of China."
   
   In a series of tweets around noon on Thursday, Balding said that he had
   really "not wanted to do this but roughly 2 months ago I was handed a
   report about Biden activities in China the press has simply refused to
   cover. I want to strongly emphasize I did not write the report but I
   know who did."
   
   Some more background on the origins of the report from Balding's
   website:

      For two months I have worked on behalf of my colleague to ensure that
      this report helped others report on the documented evidence of Biden
      activities with regards to China. I want to emphasize a couple of
      things about my own involvement.
   
       * First, I did not write the report and I am not responsible for the
         report. I have gone over the report with a fine tooth comb and can find
         nothing factually wrong with the report. Everything is cited and
         documented. Arguably the only weakness is that we do not have internal
         emails between Chinese players or the Chinese and Bidens that would
         make explicit what the links clearly imply.
       * Second, I will not be disclosing the individual who did write this
         report. They have very valid reasons to fear for both their personal
         safety and professional risks. Throughout the years that I have known
         this individual we never discussed politics. I have never heard them
         criticize any political party other than the CCP. They are not a
         Republican.
       * Third, it was my very real wish that the press would have reported on
         the documented evidence in this report and left me and the author
         entirely out of this situation. I did not vote for Trump in 2016 and
         will not vote for him in 2020. This information however is entirely
         valid public interest information that the press has simply refused to
         cover due to their own partisan wishes. I have serious policy
         differences with President Trump. I am pro-immigration. I would like to
         see more free trade efforts to shift trade away from China and into
         partner countries from Mexico to Vietnam and India. I believe that
         institution building in Asia is vital and America needs to take that
         lead. However, I cannot in good conscience allow documented evidence of
         the variety presented here go unreported by partisans who are simply
         choosing to hide information.
       * Finally, I will not be answering any questions about the report. I had
         no wish to be involved in Presidential politics. I do not want to be on
         the news. I will not be answer any questions about who wrote the
         report. We need to return the focus to the known documented facts.
   
   Upon review, this is how Balding summarized the report's contents in
   his series of tweets:
   https://twitter.com/BaldingsWorld/status/1319305748921286661
   
      Hunter Biden is partnered with the Chinese state. Entire investment
      partnership is Chinese state money from social security fund to China
      Development Bank. It is actually a subsidiary of the Bank of China.
      This is not remotely anything less than a Chinese state funded play.
     
      Though the entire size of the fund cannot be reconstructed, the
      Taiwanese cofounder who is now detained in China, reports it to be NOT
      $1-1.5 billion but $6.5 billion. This would make Hunters stake worth at
      a minimum at least $50 million if he was to sell it.
     
      Disturbingly, everyone on the Chinese side are clearly linked with
      influence and intelligence organizations. China uses very innocuous
      sounding organization names to hide PLA, United Front, or Ministry of
      Foreign Affairs influence/intelligence operations. This report cannot
      say Hunter was the target of such an operation or that China even
      targeted him. However, based upon the clear pattern of individuals and
      organizations surrounding him it is an entirely reasonable conclusion.
     
      Finally, the believed Godfather in arranging everything is a gentleman
      named Yang Jiechi. He is currently the CCP Director of Foreign Affairs
      leading strategist for America, Politburo member one of the most
      powerful men in China, and Xi confidant. Why does this matter?
     
      He met regularly with Joe Biden during his stint as Chinese ambassador
      the US when Biden chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. 
      Later he was Minister of Foreign Affairs when the investment
      partnership was made official in 2013. Importantly, the Taiwanese
      national listed MOFA institutions as the key clients in helping to
      arrange everything. Yang would clearly have known the importance of
      Hunter Biden and undoubtedly would have been informed of any dealings.
      Given that he is now the point person in China for dealing with the US
      this raises major concerns about a Biden administration dealing
      impartially with an individual in this capacity. These are documented
      facts from Chinese corporate records like IPO prospectuses and media.
      They raise very valid concerns about Biden linkages to China.
   
   Turning to the report itself, here is the 10-point summary of its
   findings:
   
      Joe Biden's compromising partnership with the Communist Party of China
      runs via Yang Jiechi (CPC's Central Foreign Affairs Commission). YANG
      met frequently with BIDEN during his tenure at the Chinese embassy in
      Washington.
     
      Hunter Biden's 2013 Bohai Harvest Rosemont investment partnership was
      set-up by Ministry of Foreign Affairs institutions who are tasked with
      garnering influence with foreign leaders during YANG's tenure as
      Foreign Minister.
     
      HUNTER has a direct line to the Politburo, according to SOURCE A, a
      senior finance professional in China.
     
      Michael Lin, a Taiwanese national now detained in China, brokered the
      BHR partnership and partners with MOFA foreign influence organizations.
     
      LIN is a POI for his work on behalf of China, as confirmed by SOURCE B
      and SOURCE C (at two separate national intelligence agencies).
     
      BHR is a state managed operation. Leading shareholder in BHR is a Bank
      of China which lists BHR as a subsidiary and BHR's partners are SOEs
      that funnel revenue/assets to BHR.
     
      HUNTER continues to hold 10% in BHR. He visited China in 2010 and met
      with major Chinese government financial companies that would later back
      BHR.
     
      HUNTER's BHR stake (purchased for $400,000) is now likely be worth
      approx. $50 million (fees and capital appreciation based on BHR's $6.5
      billion AUM as stated by Michael Lin).
10% of  BHR's $6.5 billion is $650 million. Clearly Hunter is was on his way to become a billionaire.
     
      HUNTER also did business with Chinese tycoons linked with the Chinese
      military and against the interests of US national security.
     
      BIDEN's foreign policy stance towards China (formerly hawkish), turned
      positive despite China's country's rising geopolitical assertiveness.
   
   To simply the various opaque Chinese intermediaries, the report shows
   the transfer of Chinese state money to Hunter, via major Chinese
   financial SOEs.
   
   
   
   The next chart shows how the Communist Party of China cultivated Hunter
   via Lian and multiple Chinese foreign influence organizations:
   
   
   
   The third and final chart shows the relationships connecting US leaders
   with communist leaders in China and North Korea. While there is
   official state-to-state dialogue and relationships between US and
   Chinese leaders, just one or two levels below are connected business
   arrangements with their relatives and associates, who are always the
   personal recipients of Chinese state money.
   
   
   
   The key section of the report begins on page 19, in which the anonymous
   author details how the Biden family was compromised by China:
   
   
   
   The report also quotes from a 2019 National Review article detailing
   Hunter Biden's financial links to China:
   
      Late Summer 2006: Hunter Biden and his uncle, James Biden, purchase the
      hedge fund Paradigm Global Advisors. According to an unnamed executive
      quoted in Politico in August, James Biden declared to employees on his
      first day, "Don't worry about investors. We've got people all around
      the world who want to invest in Joe Biden." At this time, Joe Biden is
      months away from becoming chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations
      Committee and launching his second bid for president.
     
      The unnamed executive who spoke to Politico charged that the purchase
      of the fund was designed to work around campaign-finance laws:
      "According to the executive, James Biden made it clear that he viewed
      the fund as a way to take money from rich foreigners who could not
      legally give money to his older brother or his campaign account. "We've
      got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to
      invest in this company," the executive remembers James Biden saying."
   
   Incidentally, this same article also points out the following:
   
      An outside audit of Paradigm by the firm of Briggs, Bunting & Dougherty
      finds a "failure to reconcile Investment Advisors reimbursement of fund
      expenses, failure to reconcile and review cash account on a timely
      basis, and failure to reconcile and review various other accounts on a
      timely basis."
   
   And while the National Review article does an exhaustive look into both
   Biden, Paradigm's and Seneca Global Advisors, the real focus is on
   China, which concludes that its "research indicates the Biden family
   and associates went on to execute a string of business deals with China
   and the CPC for nearly a decade."
   
   
   
   Fast-forwarding through the report, we learn about a curious entity
   called Thornton consulting:
   
      Shortly after BIDEN was named as Obama's running mate in August, HUNTER
      founded Seneca Global Advisors and the Beijing government approved the
      incorporation of Thornton Beijing - Solebury
      Thornton（Beijing）Consulting Co Ltd.
   
      On October 21, 2007 LIN, LAKIS and ARCHER visited HNA Group in Beijing,
      this time with ARCHER, acting as COO of Rosemont Solebury Capital, and
      had dinner with Chen. On the same day, the Thornton delegation also met
      with officials from PKU.
   
   
   
   HNA, which was originally an airline carrier, is of course best known
   for becoming a major Chinese conglomerate which in 2015-2016 was the
   most acquisitive Chinese company involved in a flurry of multi-billion
   global M&A, including US electronics distributor Ingram Micro, CIT
   Group's aircraft leasing business, a 25% stake in Hilton, a 5% stake in
   Deutsche Bank, and is widely regarded as backed by or ultimately owned
   by Wang Qishan, then former vice premier (2008 – 2013).
   
   
   
   Wang is currently China's Vice-President and a close aide of Xi.
   According to the report:
   
   "HNA has allegedly used various methods to bribe targets in the past,
   including hosting parties and supplying targets with young women. It is
   unknown if Thornton representatives were targeted in this manner at
   Chen's dinner, but if any nighttime entertainment was provided, it was
   probably recorded by HNA/Chinese intelligence (as is commonplace in
   China)."
   
      The following day a Thornton/Rosemont Solebury/SLLF delegation,
      including LIN, ARCHER, and LAKIS, met with Peng Fang, Director General
      of the NPC's Foreign Affairs Committee <FAC>, which is responsible for
      communicating with foreign affairs committees from other countries.74
      The meeting was held in the Great Hall of the People, China's most
      prestigious state building used to host legislative and ceremonial
      activities. In other words, the Thornton delegation met with a senior
      Chinese foreign affairs official at China's most famous state building,
      in a meeting which would have been approved by or informed to China's
      top leaders. This was clearly not a business meeting, but (at least in
      the eyes of the Chinese contingent), rather a nation to nation, state
      to state meeting.
   
   Fast-forwarding to 2010 (the report has all the interim details), we
   read that between April 7-9, 2010, "HUNTER was introduced by LIN to
   China's most powerful government controlled financial institutions."
   Here the report notes that "while the English news item is no longer
   accessible on Thornton's website, but the Chinese version remains."
   
   Only that's no longer the case, because since the publication of this
   report, it appears that someone had a keen interest in quickly removing
   that particular URL as can be seen here. However, courtesy of the
   wayback machine, we can see what the Thornton consulting website, which
   was summarily taken down in the past 3-4 weeks, had to say as of this
   Sept 26 (after which the website just disappears) snapshot:
   
   
   
   
   
   The report continues that according to Thornton's news item, HUNTER was
   introduced as the chairman of Rosemont Seneca and the second son of the
   US Vice-President, and the purpose of his visit was to "deepen mutual
   understanding and explore the possibility of commercial cooperation".
   LIN had delivered HUNTER to the Chinese for discussions on his pay-off.
   
   Three days later, BIDEN met with then Chinese President Hu Jintao in
   Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit. At the time Hunter
   was just barely 40 years old.
   
      The Secret Service protects, by statute, the president and vice
      president and their families.84 As the son of a sitting Vice-President,
      HUNTER will have had secret service protection during his business trip
      to China. Freedom of Information Act request records show that HUNTER
      visited China from April 6 to April 9, 2010. Unusually, for such a
      high-profile visit, there were no media reports in English or Chinese
      media. Therefore, his father BIDEN (even if unaware personally, which
      is unlikely given how close to each other they live and work), will
      have been aware of his son's business trip to Beijing through official
      channels. Given the sensitive nature of US-China relations, HUNTER
      would have been closely watched by various Chinese securities agencies
      during the trip.
   
   The report then pivots to dad Joe, who August 18, 2011 held talks with
   Xi, then Chinese Vice-President, during a five-day trip. At the meeting
   Biden said the US "fully understands that Taiwan and Tibet issues are
   China's core interests, the U.S. will continue to resolutely pursue the
   one China policy, the U.S. does not support 'Taiwan's independence',
   and the U.S. fully recognizes that Tibet is an inalienable part of the
   People's Republic of China."  Biden's words are verbatim from China's
   official standpoint on Taiwan and Tibet. Additionally, Biden said he
   "has spent more time in private meetings with Xi than any other world
   leader, including 25 hours of private dinners with Xi and one
   interpreter."
   
   A few days later BIDEN delivered a speech at Sichuan University, where
   he said:
   
      "China's development and prosperity are in line with the interest of
      the U.S", in comments on the university's website. The Obama Whitehouse
      records published a transcript of the speech during which BIDEN said
      "Let me be clear -- let me be clear: I believed in 1979 and said so and
      I believe now that a rising China is a positive development, not only
      for the people of China but for the United States and the world as a
      whole...In order to cement this robust partnership, we have to go beyond
      close ties between Washington and Beijing, which we're working on every
      day, go beyond it to include all levels of government, go beyond it to
      include classrooms and laboratories, athletic fields and boardrooms."
   
   A few months after Biden's Sichuan trip, Archer and Lin worked with a
   Sichuan Chemical, a large Sichuan state-owned company to set-up a major
   potash deal (that never materialized) for Prospect Global, a listed US
   company at the time, that soon delisted and no longer appears to be in
   business. According to the report, "it is unclear if the purpose of the
   deal was to just deliver Archer millions of dollars in compensation, to
   talk up the Prospect Global stock, or if it resulted in Sichuan
   Chemical transferring millions of US dollars to the US (either for
   capital flight purposes or to be directed to US politicians such as
   BIDEN and KERRY)."
   
   The story only gets more interesting from here, and focuses on the
   arrival on the scene in 2013 of none other than John Kerry, who is
   intimately tied to Hunter (and thus Joe Biden) via Rosemont Seneca's
   predecessor Rosemont Capital, established in 2005 by Chris Heinz and
   Devon Archer who were roommates at Yale University. The firm was named
   after a Heinz family farm, and the capital was from Heinz, heir to the
   Heinz food processing empire, and step-son of John Kerry, a former Yale
   graduate who at the time was the senator for Massachusetts. On June 25
   2009, Hunter Biden co-founded Rosemont Seneca with Archer and Heinz;
   the company's offices in Georgetown were located two miles from both
   Biden's office in the White House and his residence at the Naval
   Observatory, and one mile from Kerry's Georgetown mansion.
   
   We will let readers do their own digging but we will highlight one
   section from the report, detailing how the Hunter Biden received
   Chinese state money...
   
   
   
   ... and it involved the creation of BHR, which served as the entity
   facilitating the bulk of Chinese fund flows into the Bidens, as
   Hunter's initial BHR stake, purchased for just $400,000, is now likely
   be worth approximately $50 million. From the report:
   
      On December 4, 2013 HUNTER accompanies BIDEN on his official trip to
      China.
     
      HUNTER told the New Yorker that he met Li during the December 2013 trip
      but described it as social encounter. "How do I go to Beijing, halfway
      around the world, and not see them (Li) for a cup of coffee?" he said.
      HUNTER arranged a quick meeting in the lobby of the American
      delegation's hotel in Beijing between BIDEN and Li, the BHR CEO. This
      was followed by a "social meeting" between HUNTER and Li, according to
      reports by the New Yorker.
     
      The trip by HUNTER coincided with an official trip by the Ukranian
      President Viktor Yanukovych. Many business deals promoting trade and
      investment between China and Ukraine were signed during this trip. Some
      deals between Chinese and Ukranian firms have ties to firms HUNTER is
      known to be involved with such as the Bohai Commodity Exchange, owned
      by the same local governments that own a part of Bohai Industrial
      Investment.
     
      On 16 December 2013, a week after the BIDEN and HUNTER visit to
      Beijing, BHR was incorporated in Shanghai, with its registered address
      in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, according to State Market Regulatory
      Administration <SMRA> records.
     
      HUNTER's profile no longer appears on the BHR website. One archived
      version lists him as a director on November 16, 2015. BIDEN is referred
      to in the profile as a managing partner of Rosement Seneca Partners and
      a consultant at Boies Schiller Flexner LPP <Boies Schiller>. According
      to a statement by BIDEN's lawyer George Mesires on October 13, 2019,
      BIDEN was of counsel with Boies Schiller and advising Ukraine-linked
      Burisma Holdings Limited on its corporate reform initiatives. He is
      also listed on Chinese PE websites where he is also referred to by the
      Chinese name 'Hengte Baideng' (亨特·拜登)
     
      SMRA records show HUNTER purchased 10% of BHR on October 23, 2017 (via
      his investment vehicle Skaneateles LLC) and was a director until April
      20, 2020. Previously he was invested via other holding companies.
     
      BHR's current shareholders are Bohai Capital (30%), Shanghai Ample
      Harvest Financial Services Group Co Ltd
      (上海丰实金融服务（集团）有限公司) (30%), Angju Investment (10%),
      Thornton (10%), Ulysses Diversified Inc (10%), Skaneateles LLC (10%).
      According to Chinese corporate records, the original owner of the US
      stake in BHR was Rosemont, Seneca Thornton, LLC with a 30%
      shareholding. This was split just under two years later into what is
      believed to be 20%/10% holding between Rosemont, Seneca, Bohai LLC and
      Thornton LLC. This was later changed again splitting Rosemont, Seneca,
      Bohai into Skanletes and Ulyssees. As Rosemont is the HEINZ KERRY
      vehicle and Seneca is the Biden vehicle, it is believed that the final
      split allowed HEINZ to exit the partnership divesting to ARCHER.
   
   In summary, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned
   along with the son of a sitting US vice president and Secretary of
   State who was with high probability directly or indirectly invested in
   the holding company.
   
   But if China funded a business, what was the value for Hunter? Here the
   report goes into detail calculating that the entity likely had $6.5BN
   in AUM, generating $100-$150MM in annual revenue, and if one day the
   business was sold, it could do so for ~$300 million (see page 14-15).
   
   This returns the entire partnership to the fundamental problem: two
   sons of the Vice President of the United States and the Secretary of
   State willingly entered into a financial partnership with a government
   their fathers were supposed to deal with in an impartial manner.
   
      Evidence indicates that the Secretary of State was directly or
      indirectly financially invested in his sons firms and benefitted from
      asset purchases made by firms directly linked to his son. HUNTER
      invested in a firm that by his own words has had almost nothing to do
      with, managed by state government with departments dedicated to elite
      capture, focusing on state enterprise deals in a foreign country, but
      has grown to manage $6.5 billion in assets and likely realize yearly
      revenue of $100-150 million. The ultimate sale price for his stake or
      the partnership would be whatever the Chinese Communist Party decides
      his partnership stake is worth.
   
   And this is where the Typhoon Investigations report, the Biden
   presidential campaign, and Hunter's "laptop from hell" all converge:
   
      On May 2, 2019 BIDEN remarked, "They can't figure out how they're going
      to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you
      know, they're not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they're not,
      they're not competition for us."
     
      On May 3, it was reported that BHR [where Hunter was an investor]
      invested in Face++, a Chinese surveillance company which develops
      facial-recognition software for law enforcement in China, including
      targeting ethnic minority Muslims Xinjiang.
     
      In September 2019, BIDEN said this of HUNTER's business deals:
     
      "I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,"
   
   Still, while Hunter benefiting monetarily from deals with China may be
   unethical, it's hardly illegal (all else equal). Where things get dicey
   is if to curry favor with China, and continue the freeflow of
   China-sourced cash, Hunter or his father, is betraying his fellow
   Americans. Is this what happened? Read on and decide:
   
      Hunter Cultivated by Chinese Intelligence
     
      Our research shows that for more than decade, HUNTER has been
      personally targeted by China's intelligence apparatus and its various
      'foreign relations agencies'. A U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland
      Security and Governmental Affairs <HSGAC> published on September 23,
      2020, details HUNTER's recent payoffs from a PLA linked tycoon, Ye
      Jianming <YE>, chairman of Chinese energy company CEFC China Energy
      Company Limited <CEFC>.
     
      YE's first break came when he purchased a small piston factory that
      supplied the Chinese army, after which he was a proxy for PLA
      officials, based on a New York Times article, and our proprietary
      research of the PLA's logistics network. In the early 2000s, YE was the
      deputy secretary of CAIFC, according to his CEFC biography. As
      explained, the CAIFC is a PLA front organization that has dual roles of
      intelligence collection and propaganda work, and worked with LIN and
      the SLLF a few years after YE left the organization. YE also knows Xu,
      who was a CAIFC special advisor, and arranged for LIN and HUNTER's
      access to the highest levels of government.
     
      In line with his intelligence role, YE arranged events that brought
      together retired American and Chinese military officers. In 2015, YE
      arranged for an aide to meet with HUNTER and in May 2017, YE met
      privately with HUNTER at a Miami hotel. The purpose of the meeting was
      for HUNTER to use his contacts to help "identify investment
      opportunities for Ye's company CEFC China Energy," and afterwards YE
      gave HUNTER a 2.8-carat diamond.
     
      According to HSGAC's Confidential Document 9, YE and his associate Dong
      Gongwen, applied to a bank and opened credit lines for a business named
      Hudson West III LLC, giving HUNTER, his brother James (and James' wife
      Sarah Biden), credit cards which the Bidens used to buy extravagant
      items. The HSGAC report details a series of transfers and transactions
      worth millions of US dollars between CEFC, Hudson West and the Bidens.
      This – 11 years after HUNTER and James denied selling their political
      connections to foreigners for personal gain.
     
      In March 2018, YE was detained and put under investigation on suspicion
      of economic crimes. CEFC was then declared bankrupt in March 2020
      alleged to have faked deals and bribed foreign governments for oil
      rights. Some of these were facilitated by Patrick Ho <Ho>, CPPCC member
      and the former Hong Kong Secretary for Home Affairs in Tung's
      administration. On November 18, 2017, Ho was arrested at the John F.
      Kennedy International Airport on bribery and money-laundering charges,
      and called HUNTER for legal assistance.132 HUNTER later told The New
      Yorker that he doesn't see Ye as a "shady character at all," and he
      characterized the outcome as "bad luck."
   
   The report's conclusion:
   
      Whether he understands it or not, it is apparent that HUNTER has been
      compromised by Chinese intelligence, who most likely have detailed
      files on HUNTER's time spent in China, encompassing his personal
      meetings and any other activities. Furthermore, YE is associated with
      the PLA's General Political Department, which directly opposes the US
      military in Asia, creating a serious conflict of interest for his
      father BIDEN.
   
   Putting it all together, the report concludes that the Chinese
   influence operation targeting Biden and Heinz, the two most important
   people in US foreign policy under the Obama administration, and their
   children can now be tied between a small group of organizations and
   individuals.
   
      "Dating back to Biden's time in the Senate meeting with Yang, this was
      never from the Chinese perspective anything less than an official
      influence operation. Everything surrounding HUNTER took place with
      official Chinese organizations known to engage in and tasked with
      influence operations.
   
   Of course, in exchange for funneling tens of millions to Hunter (and,
   indirectly according to recent allegations, his father), China also got
   something: this:
   
      Over time BIDEN's approach to China changed significantly. Under the
      Clinton and early part of the Bush administrations he could be
      considered moderately hawkish on China. However, during his time in the
      Obama administration as one of the key people tasked with China policy,
      his views became very dovish. Interestingly, BIDEN repeatedly is using
      preferred CCP language in describing approaches to relations or
      specific issues. The CCPIT specifically works with businessmen to
      convince their home governments it is in their best interest to avoid
      damaging measures such as sanctions to China. Other organizations
      mentioned work specifically to engage in elite capture or influence
      politicians or governments. The presence of all these institutions
      collectively strongly imply this was an influence operation by the
      Chinese state and whether directly or indirectly, BIDEN shifted his
      view from hawkish to dovish after HUNTER began receiving entrée into
      Chinese elite political and financial institutions.
   
   Finally, going back to Chris Balding who originally published the
   report, here is his own brief summary of everything laid out in the 64
   page report:
   
      Beginning just before Joe Biden's ascendancy to the Vice Presidency,
      Hunter Biden was travelling to Beijing meeting with Chinese financial
      institutions and political figures would ultimately become his
      investors.  Finalized in 2013, the investment partnership included
      money from the Chinese government, social security, and major
      state-owned banks a veritable who's who of Chinese state finance.
     
      It is not simply the state money that should cause concern but the
      structures and deals that took place. Most investment in specific
      projects came from state owned entities and flowed into state backed
      projects or enterprises. Even the deals speak to the worst of cronyism.
      The Hunter Biden investment firm share of a copper mine in the Congo
      was guaranteed with assets put at risk by the larger copper company to
      ensure deal flow to Hunter's firm.
     
      In another instance, Bank of China working on an IPO in Hong Kong gave
      its share allocation to the BHR investment partnership. They were able
      to do this because even though the Hunter Biden firm completed no
      notable work on the IPO, it is counted as a subsidiary of the Bank of
      China. The Hunter Biden Chinese investment partnership is literally
      invested in by the Chinese state and a subsidiary of the Bank of China
      owned by the Chinese Ministry of Finance.
     
      The entire arrangement speaks to Chinese state interests. Meetings were
      held at locations that in China speak to the welcoming of foreign
      dignitaries or state to state relations. The Chinese organizations
      surrounding Hunter Biden are known intelligence and influence
      operatives to the United States government. The innocuous names like
      Chinese People's Institute for Foreign Affairs exist to "...carry out
      government-directed policies and cooperative initiatives with
      influential foreigners without being perceived as a formal part of the
      Chinese government."
     
      Interestingly the CPIFA is under the Chinese Ministry of Foreign
      Affairs. When the investment partnership was struck in 2013, the
      Minister of Foreign Affairs was Yang Jiechi. Yang would have been very
      familiar with Hunter Biden from his days in Washington as the Chinese
      Ambassador to the United States from 2001 to 2005 during which he met
      regularly with Joe Biden chairing the Senate Foreign Relations
      Committee. Today the same individual who oversaw institutions helping
      shepherd Hunter's investment partnership as the Minister of Foreign
      Affairs is Xi Jinping's right hand man on foreign affairs and member of
      the powerful Politburo.
     
      Most worrying is the financial leverage this gives the Chinese state
      over a direct member of the Biden family.  Despite the widely reported
      $1-1.5 billion of investment the reality is likely much higher. A
      co-founder of the investment firm reports the total assets under
      management as $6.5 billion.  While this number cannot be completely
      replicated, given that two deal alone were worth in excess of $1.6
      billion this number is not unrealistic at all.  A 2% annual fee on
      assets under management would generate $130 million annually. Add in
      the 20% fee on capital gains the firm would recognize and it is not
      difficult to see Hunter's stake being worth in excess of $50 million.
     
      According to Hunter's attorney, he did not invest his $400,000 in the
      company until 2017. Even assuming the veracity of this statement, this
      raises a major problem. Founded in 2013, the firm had large amounts of
      revenue and assets under management by 2017. In other words, his
      $400,000 stake would have already been worth far more than what he paid
      for it. This paltry $400,000 investment worth more than $50 million now
      would have realized a gain of more than 12,400% in three years.
     
      The difficulty in eluding these concerns is their documentability by
      anyone who cares to look.  There is no potential for hacking because it
      is all public record in China. Any journalist who wishes to look can go
      review IPO prospectuses, news reports, or corporate records. There is
      no secret method for discovering this data other than actually looking.
      There is simply no way to avoid the reality that Hunter Biden was
      granted a 10% stake worth far in excess of what he paid for a firm that
      is literally operated and owned by the Chinese state.
     
      I did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016 and have significant concerns
      about his policies in areas like immigration. Having lived in China for
      nine years throughout the Xi regimes construction of concentration
      camps and having witnessed first hand their use of influence and
      intelligence operations, the Biden links worry me profoundly.
     
      Whether Joe Biden personally knew the details, a very untenable
      position, it is simply political malpractice to not be aware of the
      details of these financial arrangements. These documentable financial
      links simply cannot be wished away.
   
   And this is why Beijing is desperate to get Joe Biden - whose son got
   extremely wealthy thanks to China's influence peddling operation for
   the past a decade- into the White House.
