Video: Hunter And Joe Arrive In China On Air Force 2 – Hardly Any Media Coverage
Red State Nation ^ | 10.24.2020 | Ray Pearson

Posted on 10/24/2020 6:49:09 AM PDT by USA Conservative

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night. During her speech, Bondi suggested that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden traveled to China with his father on Air Force Two during the Obama administration and used his time there to secure a business deal with Chinese bankers. Bondi stated:

“Fact: Joe Biden flew to China on Air Force Two with Hunter along for the ride. They said he was just there as a family member, but we know that’s untrue. In Beijing, Hunter didn’t just go sightseeing. He had meetings with his Chinese bank partners. Hunter even arranged for his dad to meet with one of the partners. Ten days later, those Chinese Communist bankers approved millions to go to Hunter’s firm, and those bankers work for the Chinese Communist Party, which oppresses their people, cheated American workers for decades and covered up a deadly virus. To this day, Hunter controls a 10% stake in that firm.”

At the time, it seemed mildly noteworthy, but not particularly unusual: then-Vice President Joe Biden, traveling to China on an official visit, had brought his son Hunter Biden along.

And when the two appeared in public together in Beijing during the 2013 trip, there were all the typical trappings of a mini-family vacation tacked on to a business trip.

With granddaughter Finnegan in tow, the Biden men sipped tea in a Confucian-style teahouse, leafed through books at local shops and treated themselves to mid-afternoon ice cream.

This video did not receive any media coverage so far even if the importance of this video about the current elections is huge.

Almost six years later, Biden’s trip to Beijing is coming under new scrutiny amid revelations about President Donald Trump’s efforts to dig up information to corroborate his unproven corruption allegations regarding Biden and his son’s work in Ukraine.

In 2013, I was one of four reporters who traveled aboard Air Force Two with Biden and his son to China, a visit that was sandwiched between stops in Japan and South Korea. When we got on the plane on a bright Sunday afternoon at Joint Base Andrews, the Bidens were already on board, having just flown in from a family Thanksgiving gathering in Nantucket. Biden often took family members and especially his grandchildren on his foreign trips, so their presence didn’t raise eyebrows.

What wasn’t known then was that as he accompanied his father to China, Hunter Biden was forming a Chinese private equity fund that associates said at the time was planning to raise big money, including from China. Hunter Biden has acknowledged meeting with Jonathan Li, a Chinese banker and his partner in the fund during the trip, although his spokesman says it was a social visit.

The Chinese business license that brought the new fund into existence was issued by Shanghai authorities 10 days after the trip, with Hunter Biden a member of the board.

Seeking to expand his corruption accusations beyond Ukraine, Trump has accused Hunter Biden of using his trip on Air Force Two to procure $1.5 billion from China for his fund, calling it “a horrible thing.”

Hunter Biden’s spokesman, George Mesires, said that Hunter Biden wasn’t initially an “owner” of the company and has never gotten paid for serving on the board. He said Hunter Biden didn’t acquire an equity interest in the fund until 2017, after his father had left office.

“The Washington Post Fact Checker has dismantled this conspiracy theory,” said Andrew Bates, spokesman for Joe Biden’s presidential campaign. “Donald Trump’s degradation of his office is unacceptable.” The Post’s fact-check traced the origins of the $1.5 billion figure to a 2018 book published by conservative author Peter Schweizer.

Why was Hunter Biden on Airforce Two? Hunter was not in China on an official US visit, so why is he not taking a commercial flight like all other Business People? Why is Hunter walking down the stairs, onto a Red Carpet with the VP of the United States? Should Hunter not have de-planed from the rear door with all the other folks? These are the questions to ask. Taking advantage of a free flight using US Tax Payers' dollars, to conduct personal business in China, is a crime in itself.

I was hoping that headline was about today and they were fleeing the country. They’ve already fleeced it.

Why was Hunter Biden AND HIS DAUGHTER on AF2? Then-VP Biden was on an official
diplomatic visit for the US govt. We later find out that Hunter was there on personal business........

This pic is the epitome of the Biden's contempt for US taxpayers. We exist only to make the Bidens filthy rich.

VP Biden, his son Hunter, and Hunter's daughter Finnegan, arrive in Beijing..........on an official US visit financed by taxpayers.

The moronic grandaughter waves to the Chinese delegation like it's old-home week....
or does this Biden moron think she's some sort of diplomat?

Throughout the tax-paid trip, Hunter Biden seemed to duck in and out, sometimes joining his father at events and red-carpet arrival ceremonies, and at other times following his own itinerary, presumably with his daughter Finnegan. As is customary, the White House did not provide details about what the vice president’s relatives were doing when they were not part of his public events.

What else Hunter Biden may have done during the tax-paid two-day stop in China is unclear. There are no indications he met with Chinese government officials. Mesires, the spokesman, said that he did not conduct any business during the tax-paid trip — including when Hunter met with Li, the Chinese banker---- his nascent business partner.

Several former White House officials who traveled with Biden on the tax-paid trip told NBC News that they didn’t know at the time that Hunter Biden had any business interests in China and were unaware of his private schedule while in Beijing.

Reporters along for the trip also indicated no one was aware of Hunter's mega business deal in China.

=================================================

SOURCE—NYPOST.com

Twelve days after Hunter stepped off Air Force Two in Beijing with his VP dad and daughter, on an official tax-paid trip, Hunter's nascent private company signed a historic deal with the Bank of China, the state-owned financial behemoth often used as a tool of the Chinese government.

The Bank of China had created a first-of-its-kind investment fund called Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). According to BHR, one of its founding partners was none other than Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC.

It was an unprecedented arrangement: (A) the government of one of America’s fiercest competitors, the Chinese Communist government. going into business with the son of one of America’s most powerful decision-makers, then VP-Biden....Pres Obama's point man in China.

Chris Heinz (John Kerry’s stepson) claims neither he nor Rosemont Seneca Partners, the firm he had part ownership of, had any role in the deal with Bohai Harvest. Nonetheless, Biden, Archer and the Rosemont name became increasingly involved with China. Archer became the vice chairman of Bohai Harvest, helping oversee some of the fund’s investments.

“Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi” would make a good special counsel or AG.

Of particular interest to the Chinese govt were sensitive, American-made components that,
according to experts, resembled components used by the US govt on its nuclear submarines.

The greedy Bidens didnt give a flying fig that some of those investments had major implications
for US national security........and would undermine the safety and security of Americans.

POINTS TO PONDER
<><> Ironically, Hunter Biden’s VP father, Obama's point man in China, met earlier with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Washington as part of the Nuclear Security Summit as Obama's point man on all things China.
<><> In December 2014, Hunter's company, BHR became an “anchor investor” in the IPO of China General Nuclear Power Corp. (CGN), the Communist state-owned energy company involved in the construction of nuclear reactors.
<><> In April 2016, the US Justice Department would charge CGN with stealing nuclear secrets from the United States — actions prosecutors said could cause “significant damage to our national security.”

============================

Joe Biden later bragged that he did not discuss Hunter's business interests on the 20-hour flight to China.Nor would he. The details of a mega-deal...... with larger importance to the Biden family fortunes....... were certainly worked out weeks ahead in VP Biden's tax-paid office utilizing Biden's tax-paid staff.

Proof-positive is the alacrity with which Hunter sewed up the billion dollar deal shortly after arriving in China........b/c the details were already hashed out when he boarded Air Force Two in DC. No need to discuss the deal on the trip over.....it was fait accompli....thanks to the VP's tax-paid help.

Can't post Zero Hedge here, but very important:

This includes a link to the Hunter Biden dossier which was produced by Typhoon Investigations. All the MSM has it, but will they post it?

Even the 10 point Summary is too extensive to post here.

REALITY CHECK Joe Biden flew to China on AF2 with Hunter and Hunter's daughter in tow in 2013.
"They said" Hunter was there "just as a family member," on vacation. Now we know that was a blatant lie.

Once in Beijing, our man in China, Hunter, didn’t just vacation....and go sightseeing.
<><> Hunter had meetings with his Chinese bank partners.
<><> Hunter arranged for his dad to meet with one of the Chinese partners.

No less than ten days later, Chinese Communist bankers approved millions to go to Hunter’s firm.....and a hard-to-get Chinese business license issued by Shanghai authorities that brought the Hunter/Chinese partnership into existence, with Hunter Biden a member of the board.
To this very day, Hunter controls a 10% stake in that firm” (said to be worth about $50 million).

At the time, it seemed mildly noteworthy, but not particularly unusual: then-Vice President Joe Biden, traveling to China on an official visit, had brought his son Hunter Biden along. And when the group appeared in public together in Beijing during the 2013 trip, there were all the typical trappings of a mini-family vacation tacked on to a business trip.

What wasn’t known then, Hunter Biden was forming a Chinese private equity fund that was planning to raise big money from Communist China. Hunter Biden has acknowledged meeting with Jonathan Li, a Chinese banker and his partner in the fund during the trip, although his spokesman says it was "a social visit."

As is customary, the White House did not provide details about what the vice president’s relatives were doing when they were not part of his public events.

With Hunter's daughter, Finnegan, in tow, the Bidens sipped tea in a Confucian-style teahouse,
leafed through books at local shops, and treated themselves to mid-afternoon ice cream.....all on the taxpayers' dime.

This is the same meeting where Hunter plead poverty because he could not afford to by the US$200 million home, then after adjourned to enjoy the hot women he had requested from his hosts.

As far as I can tell, Hunter was in the Navy beginning in May of 2013, and ended in February of 2014. This trip to Beijing was in June of 2013.
