Kamala Harris’s husband’s firm, DLA Piper, consults on behalf of a bevy of Chinese Communist Party-owned companies and employs former Chinese Communist Party officials.
DLA Piper, a multinational law firm, boasts nearly 30 years of experience in China and over 140 lawyers dedicated to its “China Investment Services” branch. Harris’s...

Several of DLA Piper’s officials hold prominent positions on the CCP’s Senior Advisory Board, the China International Economic, and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC), the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), and other of its organizations.
It also represents many CCP-owned companies, including two airlines and technology companies challenged by security issues in the United States such as ByteDance, and Tencent.
DLA Piper even advises the embassy in Canberra, Australia. It is involved in multibillion-dollar businesses.
The investments of Hunter Biden, the son of the Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, in large companies also linked to the CCP, call attention.
One such company is Bohai Harvest, of which Hunter Biden owns 10 percent of the capital stock, according to Daily Caller.
These links with the CCP of people so close to the Democratic presidential formula are worrisome, even more so given the CCP’s preference for Biden and Harris to win the U.S. elections, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), on Aug. 9 on CNN.
OMG!! THIS info needs to beon Every THREAD !
While the article was from September, this needs closer examination.
China was behind the Huawei and Tik Tok spies in the Houston Embassy that insitgated and assisted in planning and organizing the ANTIFA and BLM riots in 25 cities.
Is China funding the Democrat candidates?
(Reuters) - The United States gave China 72 hours to close its consulate in Houston amid accusations of spying, marking a dramatic deterioration in relations between the world’s two biggest economies.
Richard Grenell, who served until recently as acting director of U.S. national intelligence, suggested the United States could close the Chinese consulate in tech-heavy San Francisco.
“It’s a close call. I would have done both (Houston and San Francisco) but it also makes sense to start with one,” he told Reuters by text.
Chinese Consulate in Houston Intervened in US Political Movement
http://chinascope.org/archives/24225
Radio Free Asia (RFA) published an article explaining the reason that the U.S. closed China’s Consulate in Houston.
The article stated that the U.S. has known that the staff members at the consulate were conducting suspicious activities, but, for a while, it did not take any action. The Second Department of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which is the PLA’s intelligence unit, sent staff members from a large network company, with fake IDs, to China’s Consulate in Houston. Those technicians used a large video platform’s backend data to identify people who might participate in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and ANTIFA’s protests and then created and sent them customized videos on how to organize riots and how to do promotions.
The purpose was to “weaponize” big data technology. It delivered relevant materials precisely to those people who were most likely to participate in the protests, while other people could not even find those videos.
RFA did not spell out the company names. A Twitter account said the technicians were from Huawei and the video platform they used to identify candidates and push videos to was TikTok.

Per the Radio Free Asia article: Link above
“According to reports, the Second Department of the General Staff of the People’s Liberation Army recruited people from a major Internet company, used false identities to go to the Houston consulate, used the background data of a major audio-visual platform in the powerful country to assist BLM and ANTIFA, and sent “tailor-made” to African Americans. A promotional video for the riot organization; in a word, it is to “weaponize” big data. In short, what a rumor, believe it or not!
The “benefits” of using big data to incite riots is that it can accurately target and promote relevant information to the people most likely to participate in the riots. Most people who want to search cannot find these short videos; this trick is highly concealed, and it is said that the FBI was initially deceived. In the dark, but there was a rumor that some people in the consulate wanted to make a change and told the FBI about the top secret. As for the follow-up development including closing the embassy and dealing with TikTok (TikTok International Edition), everyone knows. The two events of “closing the consulate” and “investigating TikTok” seem to be unrelated, but they may actually be the same thing!”
CHINESE FUND BACKED BY HUNTER BIDEN INVESTED IN MAJOR CHINESE SURVEILLANCE FIRM
https://theintercept.com/2019/05/03/biden-son-china-business/
Human Rights Watch released a troubling report, which it has since walked back, about a phone application made by the Chinese government. The app provides law enforcement with easy, daily access to data detailing the religious activity, blood type, and even the amount of electricity used by ethnic minority Muslims living in the western province of Xinjiang.
The app relies heavily on facial recognition software supplied by Face++, a division of the Chinese startup Megvii, a relationship that sparked questions in the press for Megvii investors. One of the most prominent of these investors is Alibaba Group Holding, which was co-founded by Jack Ma, the wealthiest Chinese billionaire and an icon for the country’s image of entrepreneurship.
The son of the former Vice President Joe Biden has spent much of the last decade building overseas investments and business deals, arrangements that could complicate his father’s bid for the presidency by posing an array of potential conflicts of interest.
Hunter Biden’s investment company in China, known as Bohai Harvest RST, has pooled money, largely from state-owned venture capital, to buy or invest in a range of industries in the U.S. and China. Bohai Harvest has put money into an automotive firm, mining companies, and technology ventures, such as Didi Chuxing Technology, one of the largest ride-hailing companies in the world after Uber. (Hunter Biden, Bohai Harvest, and Joe Biden’s presidential campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)
In 2017, Bohai Harvest bought into Face++, part of a $460 million haul in the company’s Series C investment round. Bohai Harvest’s website features Face++ in its portfolio of investments.
As The Intercept has previously reported, the HNA Group has made unusually extensive efforts to cultivate U.S. officials. The company floated an offer to buy out the hedge fund owned by former White House official Anthony Scaramucci; retained the legal services of Gary Locke, the former U.S. ambassador to China, shortly before his confirmation; and provided financing to a private-equity firm backed by Jeb Bush. HNA Group, notably, also courted Bill Clinton, touting meetings with the former president at philanthropy events hosted by the company.
The Bank of China, one of the largest banks in the country, has also made overtures to U.S. political elites. Shortly after the 2016 presidential election, the company added Angela Chao, the sister of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and sister-in-law of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to its board of directors.
That’s rich.
I’ve said before I’d like to know how many members of Congre$$ have a lot of money invested in China.
Throw Mark Kelly into the mix, too. He has benefited mightily from the CCP-China. And he is still ahead in the Senate polls in AZ.
Thanks tired&retired.
Inside the shady private equity firm run by Kerry and Biden’s kids

In short, the Chinese government was literally funding a business that it co-owned along with the sons of two of America’s most powerful decision makers.
“Which American Congressmen and Senators can be bribed?”
Fox News Weekend was just talking about a report that China compiled that is just that. It included all the state governors.
So many Chinese ties with DC creatures — Harris, Biden, Clintons, even our old Turtle.

McSally Campaign Ad Highlights Mark Kelly’s Business With China
An ad by the National Republican Senatorial Committee is once again raising questions about Democratic candidate for Senate Mark Kelly’s ties to a controversial company, World View Enterprises. The Committee is investing $5.7 million the ad buy for Senator Martha McSally.
The NRSC ad highlights Kelly’s business ties with China.
Tencent, a Chinese tech company, has invested in World View Enterprises, a Tucson-based company which Kelly helped launch in 2014.
While Kelly has claimed to have dropped ties with World View, his daughter is still with the company according to her LinkedIn profile.
Kelly served as a strategic adviser to World View until launching his Senate campaign last year. He maintains a personal financial stake in the company of between $100,000 and $250,000 worth of non-public stock and $15,001 and $50,000 worth of stock options, according to the financial disclosure records Kelly was required to file in his Senate bid.
Additionally, Kelly’s campaign has accepted at least $5,000 from David Wallerstein, who serves as Tencent’s chief exploration officer, responsible for the company’s operations outside mainland China and overseeing business initiatives with multinational partners.
Kelly has faced scrutiny both in Arizona and nationally for investments made by Tencent, a surveillance arm of the Chinese Communist Party. The state-financed Chinese investor of a second company, Boom Technology, where Kelly served as an Advisory Board member, was also recently exposed.
“Mark Kelly spent years doing whatever it took to get rich, including allowing the Chinese Communist Party to invest in him and his companies,” said NRSC spokesperson Joanna Rodriguez. “His Chinese investors are responsible for putting not just U.S. national security, but also global security at risk all so he could make a quick buck.”
