EXC: Biden Energy Secretary Held Secret Talks With Chinese Official Tied To Hunter Biden’s Investments Before US Drained Oil Reserve.

The Biden administration’s top energy official held multiple talks with a Chinese Communist Party official linked to an oil company counting investment from Hunter Biden’s private equity firm just days before the U.S. moved to release oil from its strategic reserve in 2021.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm controversially spoke with China National Energy Administration chairman Zhang Jianhua one-on-one multiple times in meetings that had not previously been reported, according to internal Energy Department calendars obtained by Fox News.

Granholm and her Chinese Communist Party counterpart met on November 19th and 21st, 2021, just days before the White House announced its decision to release oil from the strategic reserve on November 23rd.

The story, which has already called into question the Chinese Communist Party’s continued influence over the Biden administration, also has a link to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter. The first son has financial ties to the phone call participant through his previous employer, Sinopec.

Sinopec, also known as China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, is a Chinese state-owned oil and gas enterprise. Its “fully-owned subsidiary” Sinopec Marketing Company enjoyed nearly $1 billion in investment from Hunter Biden’s private equity firm BHR Partners.

Finalized in March 2015, the investments from the controversial investment fund led to BHR Partners amassing a nearly 30 percent stake in Sinopec. BHR Partners’ LinkedIn profile highlights its Sinopec investment, revealing it was involved “in the pilot state-owned enterprise reform deal involving the segregation and capital.

Zhang has deep ties to Sinopec, previously serving as the company’s Board Director and Senior Vice President. During his nearly decade-long stint at the company, he was also elected as a member of the Party Committee of Sinopec Group, as revealed in his professional biography.

Bio. He reportedly became Chairman of Sinopec Engineering Group Co.’s Board in 2014, right before Sinopec began inking deals with Hunter Biden-affiliated entities.

Zhang also served as President of the China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), whose Belt and Road International Forum in Beijing counted participation from additional companies linked to Hunter Biden including CEFC China Energy, where the First Son served as Managing Director.

CEFC China Energy recently made headlines following a New York Post exposè highlighting how Hunter Biden leveraged his father’s name to ink deals with the Chinese government-linked entity, and several whistleblowers have confirmed these accounts.

The company, founded by the now-missing Chinese tycoon Ye Jianming, has been identified as collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) since its founding. Beyond functioning as part of China’s vast political warfare operation, CEFC China Energy was also actively strategizing ways to overtake America on the world stage.

Deleted webpages from the company’s now-defunct website reveal members of the Chinese Communist Party-run firm plotting how China could “surpass” America, become the “world’s leading country,” and influence other countries to not perceive the country as a “threat.”

Joe has nothing to fear. He owns the federal law enforcement, DOJ, Senate, and will be easily re-elected. Trump doesn’t stand a chance this election cycle and the GOP bench is weak, it’s clear that voting no longer counts since the system is rigged. We are losing our constitutional rights along with our wealth thanks to inflation.

Biden will turn out to be the worst president in US history. At 80 years old, he will die in office then the games begin. I’m just wondering how long until the next civil war starts.

Biden’s Sale of U.S. Oil Reserves to China
Also Cut in Hunter Biden $For a $Piece of the $Action

Edited.......the Biden Admin’s sale of U.S. oil reserves to Unipec America, a company operated by the Chinese Communist Party, raises concerns that U.S. oil could be used by China to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

To ensure the Biden Administration is properly managing the sale of critical American assets, lawmakers are once again calling on Biden’s Dept of Energy (DOE) Secy Jennifer Granholm to provide an immediate briefing, and all documentsm and communications, related to the SPR sale.

According to DOE, the Biden Admin recently sold almost a million barrels of SPR oil to Unipec America, a subsidiary of Sinopec, a company owned by the Chinese Communist Party.

In addition to concerns with Hunter Biden, the President’s son, receiving money from the Chinese deal, the decision to sell to Unipec is troubling ...........efforts to ensure the American people that the Biden Administration is properly managing the sale of critical assets from the SPR and not supporting Russia by providing oil to China, caused lawmakers to request a briefing and documents related to this matter.

Committee Republicans previously wrote to Secy Granholm on May 26, 2022 and July 20, 2022 requesting a briefing on the DOE’s plan to replenish the SPR and raising concerns about the sale of oil to a Chinese energy company....... that Hunter Biden’s private equity firm has a financial stake in.

DOE’s failure to provide a briefing or any information related to the SPR sale jeopardizes the US’ ability to respond to national emergencies and meet Americans’ energy demands.

“Research shows Chinese firms recently trading with Russia’s defense sector, including with companies supporting Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine. This is troubling because the DOE sale of almost $100 million worth of oil went to Unipec, a subsidiary of a Chinese oil company.

In light of China’s close friendship with Russia having ‘no limits,’ there are serious questions about whether SPR oil is benefiting Russia...... or companies assisting Russia in the invasion of Ukraine.

It would be unacceptable for China to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with oil from the United States.

Company strategy papers from CEFC China Energy – a Chinese Communist Party-run company....... show the Commies employed Hunter Biden as Managing Director.

Hunter, the Biden Crime Family bagman, was party to the company’s detailed plans for China
to “surpass” America as the “world’s leading country.”

Strategies included coordinating forms of “warfare” as a confidence game
to con other countries into viewing the Chinese Communist Party favorably, not as a “threat.”

Hunter......who else?


https://nypost.com/2023/08/04/bidens-energy-secretary-called-china-before-us-tapped-oil-reserves/

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm spoke with a senior Chinese energy official the same week that the US began tapping its Strategic Petroleum Reserve in November 2021 — later selling some oil to a Beijing-backed firm linked to first son Hunter Biden, newly uncovered documents show.

Two days after the Granholm-Zhang call, first reported by Fox News, President Biden announced the release of 50 million barrels of oil from the reserve in an effort “to bring down gas prices” — it was the largest-ever energy stockpile sale in US history.

Around 900,000 barrels of oil were sold to Unipec America, a subsidiary of the Chinese government-owned gas company Sinopec, which in turn had received billions of dollars from BHR Partners — a private equity firm co-founded by Hunter Biden, who held a 10% stake in BHR until at least late 2021

Will voters hate Trump more, than living with Biden’s corruption for 4 more years? The ignorant people may have the informed outnumbered.

“I’m just wondering how long until the next civil war starts.”

It has already begun. Currently only one side is fighting.

What exactly did they talk about? I fail to see any crime, conflict of interest etc.

Just saying they met, is what the left does.

What exactly did she do wrong, or what did China gain from this?

Did they sell the oil to this company?

We will sell all our oil to you so we can force automobile companies to make electric car bombs and we will buy the batteries from you.

It’s a win win deal who says communism is bad.
