Up until now, China's communist regime has had a grand old time blasting President Trump's Ukraine-linked impeachment troubles from its state propaganda outlets. They hate the guy based on his calling them out on their unfair trade practices, hitting them with tariffs, and their economy is not doing well.

It leaves on one giant elephant in the room.
That the Chicoms with zero doubt don't want anyone inside China to read about those billion-dollar crony money-flingings with the Bidens in the Chinese state's bid to buy influence in the states. A spare billion dollars will buy a lot of shark's fin soup in still-poor China, and right now, the economy there is in a recession.
Here's another piece of fat already on the fire: The Hong Kongers are in open revolt and not only demanding their rights, they're drawing supporters rolling in from red China itself, people who are likely to spread the implacable message and we already know the Chicoms are worried about that as they try to stop them.
News of sleazy crony deal from China's princeling elites is gasoline on the already-burning fire. The ordinary Chinese people can't stand the cronies as it is, and now that the details of a crony deal, done for political purposes, by the Chinese elite, legally, for the purpose of increasing their power in America, is going to provide China's people with one more grievance as they stand impoverished ... and one more reason to revolt.

I hope this story gets past the chicom censors.
Too bad we can’t learn about all of the “corruption by proxy” deals that have been made to benefit the family and friends of powerful DC insiders. If these things were good for ordinary Americans, they would not be hidden.
I believe Trump got a lot of heat very recently for telling China that he wouldn’t make Hong Kong a big issue in talks between the US and China.
But he doesn’t have to. He’s got a lot of other stuff to talk about. And Hong Kong will hear what he says about that other stuff. And they won’t like it. No one in China will like it.
Get popcorn.
This is why Trump’s “Ask the Chinese to investigate Joe Biden” gambit is a brilliant chess move.
The Chinese know they are corrupt. They have facial recognition cameras in cities that know when someone jaywalks and sends them a ticket for Pete’s sake. You think they don’t know what payments were made by who to whom in an American administration?
We always hear how when dealing with the Chinese, you must allow them a pretend moral way out, what is called “Saving Face.”
Amazing that it is never up to the Chinese themselves to “Save Face” by correcting their behavior. Seems to me recognizing your own bad behavior and fixing it would be the best face saving possible.
WOULDN’T IT BE AWESOME IF TRUMP CAUSED A PEOPLE’S REVOLT IN CHINA AND THEY THREW OFF THEIR COMMUNIST OVERLORDS?
The Chinese are also part of the Hunter Biden story.
The New Yorker did a lengthy piece on Hunter to scrub his history a little bit—but the Chinese are there, in the weeds:

When Chinese business partners give you an 80 grand ring it is not a bribe—if you are the son of a Democrat!
Chicoms are a lot of things, but they ain’t stupid. I hope their concerns are justified.
10% is the standard under-the-table kickback rate for State Owned Enterprises in China, so the $1.5 billion Biden Family Fund was for a BIG project.
Yes it would; but it would be great if we did the same thing against the Deep State in the US.
“That the Chicoms with zero doubt don’t want anyone inside China to read about those billion-dollar crony money-flingings with the Bidens in the Chinese state’s bid to buy influence in the states.” Why would hyper nationalistic chinese people care about China using money to buy influence in the states to their country’s advantage. They’d probably think it was shrewd and cunning. Remember that the Chinese don’t have the judeo-christian moral anathema to corruption and lies as long as they are not the ones being the victim of it.
This.
Reagan caused the USSR to collapse.
Maybe Trump will cause Communist China and the Global Deep State to collapse.
Mt. Rushmore has room.
Too bad that Imperial Japan didn’t waste more of China, and the Chinese rebels.
Its unlikely that the Chicom leadership is made nervous by the Biden corruption.
Yes. Like he’s trying to do to bring down the Kim Jong In regime. /sarc. Gimme a frikkin break.
I hope this story gets past our own “Media Censors”....
Bill Clinton gave TONS of access to tech to the ChiComs. Does anyone believe he didn’t ask or get anything in return?
Come to the table china lets make a deal
