“In the last campaign Trump said that China leased units in his building. This is not new.”

Nor is it illegal bribes like those paid to old joe via hunter.

Oh my god! You mean some Chinese entity somewhere has rented retail space from one of the myriad of Trump real estate holdings???? What a bombshell!

Forbes lines up with the Chamber of Commerce, globalists, Koch Brothers, etc. As such they are die hard never Trumpers.

Have not seen President Trump pull Tariffs on China, or if you are correct , China pulling their rents.
But still have not seen any of the left wing traitors investigating the traitor Joe Biden

Note that Joe Biden intervened to prevent the defection of a high-ranking Party member, Wang Lijun

could you explain this a bit more - I never read about this

This was not some obscure incident. Look up the name. There’s a Wikipedia entry. Chinese militia surrounded the consulate. It’s probably obscure to the average Chinese, due to censorship, but US coverage was significant. Not everyday that you get a consulate surrounded by a battalion of local militia. Look up the Wiki on Bo Xilai. The article I linked is somewhat descriptive, re the situation at hand.

I had thought that Biden was, like Obama, just inclined to bend the knee to the country’s rivals. Revelations about Chinese cash transfers to the Bidens put his quashing of the defection in a different light.

Reading that wiki bit just emphasizes how murky Chinese politics really is.

There’s no mention of a battalion of militia that I saw. But never mind and thanks

Never again click on Forbes. Never.

Never click on them even to share their false reporting. Gut them.

There’s a misunderstanding about absolutist regimes that I shared until I started delving deeper. It’s that the surface obsequious behavior is more than skin deep, that they’re vast ant hills marching to the beat of the queen ant. In reality, the individual players are each biding their time waiting for their moments. The servility is a pose to be maintained until the tables are turned.

The bit about the People’s Armed Police surrounding the consulate with armored vehicles is something I recall from an article during the imbroglio. It was a pretty big deal. I thought they were going in to grab him. But Biden may have earned his keep, and then some. If anything, they’re underpaying him.

It’s more or less the rule for absolutist regimes. For instance, take a look at how Alexander came to power.

and it puts the Russia gate in a different light also since Harris, Schumer and China Feinstein are named as participating in one of the schemes - also explains why Hindu Harris was picked as VP
