China sent not-so-subtle threat to Joe Biden by revealing Hunter’s bank records, says senator
Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, April 12, 2023 | By Susan Ferrechio

China fired a warning shot at President Biden when a Chinese-American bank supplied Senate Republicans with records showing millions of dollars flowing from Chinese companies to Mr. Biden’s son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden, said a lawmaker spearheading an investigation of the first family.

Cathay Bank, which is based in Los Angeles but has offices in China, voluntarily turned over bank records requested by Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Charles E. Grassley of Iowa. Every other American bank denied the two Republicans’ requests for financial records.

“In my mind, it’s the Chinese government telling Joe Biden, ‘We got the goods on you, buddy, and we’re willing to dish it up,’” Mr. Johnson told The Washington Times.

Cathay Bank spokesman Ian Campbell said the allegations are false.

“Cathay Bank, a NASDAQ-listed, U.S. financial institution for over 60 years, has cooperated with the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability’s request for information. The bank intends to continue to cooperate with the committee,” he said in a statement to The Times. “Cathay Bank was founded more than sixty years ago by a United States citizen, and serves American communities as a bank with over $20 billion in assets and more than 60 branches in 9 states. Cathay Bank is neither owned by nor affiliated with the Chinese government in any way.”

The records the bank handed over showed deep financial ties between the president’s son and brother and the now-defunct CEFC China Energy, which had ties to the Chinese Communist Party. The energy giant wired $1 million to Hudson West III, a joint venture owned by Hunter Biden and Gongwen Dong, a business associate of CEFC’s founder and chairman, Ye Jianming.

The media has to calculate whether or not releasing the info would hurt Democrats on the whole. They want Joe gone, but not if it takes the whole party with him.

Our corrupt media and government....

Everyone chases and hypes a planted and completely fake story about Trump using a secret server based at a Russian Bank Alphabank to secretly communicate with his Russian oligarch friends and Putin

And everyone ignores and suppresse a real story about Biden and his family having $millions in payments from Chinese oligarchs connected to the CCP

So what?

China could open a public library in downtown DC that contains a copy of EVERY Biden-incriminating document they have. Heck, FJB could put a bullet in Dr Jill’s head on the lawn of the West Wing and the Left would call Republicans racist if the Pubbies said anything about it.

None of the Biden crew will EVER SERVE A DAY IN JAIL.

It’s possible that the Chinese were excited with anticipation with Biden becoming president because they had loads of compromising information on him and his family. Then, to their surprise, much of their material became public knowledge by other sources. And to their even greater surprise, it didn’t make any difference.

Kinda wondered when the Chinese would start blackmailing Biden. He should be removed from office for conflict of interest and corruption.

The sad part? Most Republicans are completely ignoring it.

“None of the Biden crew will EVER SERVE A DAY IN JAIL.”

Run-of-the-mill Pubbies desire law and order, and reject political, electoral and financial corruption. For that reason they would tend to revel at the notion of hardened baddies like FJB and Hillary being sent up the river.

The same run-of-the-mill Pubbies believe there is an important difference between the U.S. on the one hand, and any given banana republic that leaps at the chance to jail, torture and execute political opponents and dissidents. For this reason they will tend to hold off on prosecuting baddies like FJB and Hillary, however justified such prosecutions would be (and they would be justified).

Another reason they are in favor of holding off on prosecuting such baddies is the fear that, if they were to do so in the first instance, the Donkey Party would retaliate as soon as they regained power by mercilessly persecuting and unjustly jailing high-level Pubbies.

Given the Donkey Party’s brazen legal (meaning, both civil and criminal law) victimization of DJT, and admittedly applying a generous helping of hindsight, the Pubbies should have been about prosecuting and jailing the likes of Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit as soon as DJT took office (which DJT was threatening to do during his campaign debates with same, but held off).

I can’t disagree with anything you said. But I have one thought. How many Republicans are on the Sino-Gravy Train?

Sadly, I think you're right. And even if they did it today, look who's now in charge of the country. She can't construct a proper English sentence let alone manage the complex economic system that shores up this country.
