US President Donald Trump has a Chinese bank account and spent years pursuing business projects in the country, the New York Times has reported.
The account is controlled by Trump International Hotels Management and paid local taxes between 2013 and 2015.
It was set up "to explore the potential for hotel deals in Asia", according to a Trump spokesman.
Mr Trump has been critical of US firms doing business in China and sparked a trade war between the two countries.
The NY Times revealed the account after obtaining Mr Trump's tax records, which included both personal and company financial details.

This is a pathetic attempt to turn the story about the Biden's on its head.
Trump has business interests all over the world and yes, pays local taxes etc. I imagine in many countries.
This is completely different to the Biden's CORRUPTION and graft.
President Trump is NOT corrupt!
People like Bill Gates, the Clintons, George Soros, and..Joe Biden probably also have bank accounts in that country as well.
Yep. Big differences between building a hotel in China vs moving your entire production facilities to China vs taking a direct bribe from China.
I believe the Bank Of China occupies the 13th floor of Trump Towers in NYC. I may be mistaken, corrections welcome.
Well that’s one hell of an October surprise
Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Besides that account being meaningless, when you build hotels around the world, that means you will build and operate in other countries.
That is not the same as making products there to sell in America.
Which is not a crime, either.
We want American companies to bring in money from overseas.
I keep waiting for the dems’ October Surprise. Is this all they’ve got? Surely, they’d be rolling whatever they have out now to distract. The Trump’s taxes NYT “bombshell” fizzled. The DOJ’s Russian indictment crap from a couple days got zero traction. It’ll take something major to get the sheeple’s attention, maybe a false flag attack?
This is bad. The only thing worse would be if he had a bank account in RUSSIA.
RUSSIA!
RUSSIA, I say!!!
NO, Mr. Trump has been critical of US firms MOVING JOBS to China, and sparked a trade war between the two countries to counter the Chinese manipulation of their currency that makes US made products less competitive.
Yeah I’m sure however much is in that account, the Chinese consider it to perfectly balance his huge tariffs, military buildup, defending Taiwan, calling them out on the virus, and opposing them in the South China sea. /s
Or a slightly indirect bribe from China using your son as a conduit.
Tagline corrected
I’m sure Trump wasn’t leveraging Government power. And he wasn’t an elected official who took an oath to defend the Constitution.
Not to mention Moscow, ID. Several banks located there!

I believe in China if you do business there you have to go 50-50 with the government.
It is a completely Marxist system.
This new angle of attack makes me think it is going to be revealed in the next week that both Bidens have off-shore accounts.
That is the saddest and funniest attempt to smear Trump, I have witnessed yet. The journalism Gods are crying.
Times trying to draw equivalence between a Trump Hotel management company in china before he became President managing a project for a Chinese company and being paid royalties to manage it and his company paying taxes on the corporate earnings as required under Chinese law to Hunter Biden’s using his father’s office as Vice president to take 1.5 billion from the Chinese government for equity management and e mails indicating Hunter was forking over half his “salary” back to his father for deals. Zero equivalence between private businessman Trump’s above board ordinary hotel management biz in China and below board quid pro quo politician using his office to enrich himself. Times is doing this now so Biden can point to Trump’s transaction during the upcoming debate to sucker viewers into thinking Trump is doing the bribery solicitation as him when in fact he was not
lol.
will any FakeNewsMSM outlet not run with this?
how long will they run with it? 24/7 daily til 3 Nov?
