snip .....Remember this all happened about 25 years ago.... then Pres Bill Clinton and his foreign policy team were busily arming Beijing,
which in turn armed rogue nations such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya.
......on the one hand, it did make sense to sell a very limited amount of advanced military technology to the Communist Chinese, for example devices for nuclear safety, or for certain military systems with important civilian applications, such as satellite launchers.
But the Clinton Administration was not doing that.
Instead, it was executing a deliberate policyapparently one that had full approval from the top levels of the Clinton Administration, despite the vigorous opposition from government agencies, and from individual officials infuriated at the flow of top technology to China.
This often took the form of Clinton okaying the selling off some of our finest factories to China, at pennies on the dollar, and included our finest supercomputers and the key element to modern jet engines, which had been blocked for export to the Soviet bloc...

Then- Prez Obamas NIH Sent $3.7M to Wuhan Lab
The BIGGER question is how much China sent back to Boobamba:
<><> donations to his foundations,
<><> donations to his final resting place in Chicago.....
<><> big buck speaking engagements
<><> and so on and so forth.
==========================
According to Obama, he intends for his foundation to be central to many of his post-presidential activities, which he sees as having the potential to be more consequential than his time in the White House.
On September 25, 2018, an IRS report revealed that the Foundation no longer identified any possible mega-donors. In 2018, contributions and in-kind gifts totaled $164.8 million, according to its filed annual report in June 2019 a drop of $67.8 million from the record $232.6 million in 2017.
The President of the Obama Foundation is Adewale Adeyemo, a Nigerian Economist ----one of Obama's former senior economic advisers-----and Deputy US National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs.

$2 million Chinese Donor to Clinton Foundation, caught up in Chinese cash-for-votes scandal-surfaces in Virginia
Wang Wenliang, a Chinese billionaire and donor to the Clinton Foundation and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, has been expelled from Chinas top legislature after being caught up in a widespread cash-for-votes scheme. On Tuesday, Chinas national legislature expelled 45 of its nearly 2,900 members, all from the northeastern province of Liaoning, in a huge vote-buying scandal. The move was part of an investigation into corruption in Liaoning and a much larger national anti-corruption campaign launched by President Xi Jinping.
Wang, who made his fortune in construction and running a strategic port near the North Korean border, also has been a big donor to New York University, Harvard University and the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
Wangs $2 million donation to the Clinton Foundation in 2013 made waves when it was disclosed last year because of his ties to the Chinese government. More recently, his name surfaced amid news that McAuliffe (D) was the subject of an FBI investigation.
McAuliffe expressed confidence in May that Wang, who gave a combined $120,000 to his 2013 gubernatorial campaign and 2014 inauguration, was a legitimate donor. [McAuliffe in shock over FBI investigation of campaign money, personal finances]
A spokesman for Wang said his ouster was the result of a political purge carried out on behalf of Xi. They get rid of people who are not part of his team, spokesman Sig Rogich said.
He said Wang and the others ousted had only lobbied decision-makers with meals and token gifts. He wined and dined them and gave them a gift, Rogich said. Its not like they gave them cash. On Friday, McAuliffes attorney, James W. Cooper, said the governor knows nothing about Mr. Wang and his legal situation in China.
Spokesmen for the Clinton campaign and the Clinton Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.
Wangs construction conglomerate, Rilin Enterprises, controls the Port of Dandong and processes significant volumes of soybeans shipped out of Virginia. He was courted in 2011 by Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R), who encouraged Wangs firm to buy 100,000 metric tons of soybeans from Maryland-based Perdue Agribusiness and ship them from Chesapeake, Va., to China.
Wangs company also helped build the new Chinese Embassy in Washington, assembling and overseeing a team of artisans who would be loyal to both the Chinese government and the principles of feng shui. Theres a lot of security involved, Rogich said. Theyre also artistically knowledgeable about what the Chinese want. Theres a lot of feng shui that goes into this, evidently depictions of the four seasons. Certain colors are not allowed.
Wangs $2 million pledge to the Clinton Foundation drew attention last year, first from CBS News and then other outlets, because of his connections to the Chinese government both as a member of the National Peoples Congress and as a contractor entrusted to help build Chinas embassies around the world.
Wangs political donations to McAuliffe reflect sizable overlap in Clinton and McAuliffe donors. Critics say the pattern suggests contributions to McAuliffe, a close friend of Bill and Hillary Clintons, are intended to curry favor with a former president and an aspiring one. McAuliffe supporters say the overlap is the natural outgrowth of personal and political bonds the governor has forged over a long career as a Clinton fundraiser.

Kissinger, the “Smartest man in the world”, wasn’t!
Has CCP Queen Feinstein switched to a Chinese citizenship yet. If not why not?
Rhetorical question of course. She can do more harm as a dem pol and American citizen.
Traitor!
$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!
This is one of the most important post on FR.
1 - It helps the established reports re Di-Fi’s obvious shake-downs.
2 - It informs those who never heard of the China connections in the 90’s.
3 - Fox News has not taken advantage of the verified ground work already in the can - Why can’t they create a special on the subject? It is not yesterday’s news but timely!
I tried to post this twice, I suspect the gremlins watching those who are on social media sites. Hooray for getting it posted. The entire article has to be read to understand the selling out of America by those who are most greedy among us.
