A Chinese military company that Hunter Biden’s investment firm teamed up with is now assisting the Russian air force in the war in Ukraine.
The BHR Partners investment firm, which counted President Joe Biden's son as a board member and 10% stakeholder, worked with AVIC Automotive, a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China, to purchase Michigan-based Henniges Automotive in September 2015.
The Wall Street Journal reported in February 2023 that AVIC subsidiary AVIC International Holding Corporation had shipped “$1.2 million worth of parts for Su-35 jet fighters” to sanctioned Russian defense conglomerate Rostec subsidiary Kret on Oct. 24, 2022. Although a number of Chinese companies have been sanctioned over Russia’s war in Ukraine, AVIC is not one of them. AVIC’s provision of Su-35 jet fighter parts to Russia is notable.
The Ukrainian military claimed in August 2022 that the Russians had lost roughly two dozen Su-35 jets during the war at that point. The Rand Corporation said in October 2022 that Russia needed to replace Su-35s lost in combat but that sanctions were hurting its ability to do so.
When Hunter Biden’s BHR teamed up with China’s AVIC in September 2015, it was already publicly known that AVIC was also teaming up with a number of Russian military companies, including Rostec, and that these Russian companies were being sanctioned related to Russia's annexation of Crimea in early 2014. In November 2021, Hunter Biden lawyer Chris Clark told the New York Times that his client "no longer holds any interest, directly or indirectly, in either BHR or Skaneateles," the LLC owned by Hunter Biden that held his 10% ownership stake in BHR. Clark declined to provide more clarity on this in 2022.

Too bad our CIA and FBI ‘intelligence goons’ were so busy hunting middle-class, middle-aged white conservative Christian Americans that they ‘missed’ Hunter Biden and his corrupt ‘big guy father’ and half the ‘liberal elites’ in DC selling out our country to China, Russia, Ukraine and anyone willing to put ‘coins in the turnstile’....
