The Chinese Connection: From the Clintons to Biden, Inc.

Townhall.com ^ | October 31, 2020 | Robert Chernin

[Kaslin]

In “The French Connection,” the iconic 1971 film starring Gene Hackman as the grisly New York City detective Popeye Doyle, the bad guy is a wealthy Frenchman operating the world’s largest heroin-smuggling syndicate. In what could be its sequel, the Chinese government has been operating the world’s largest influence-peddling syndicate for decades. The drug of choice is no longer heroin but money - and lots of it. Starting in the mid-1990s with the Clintons, it has grown in both size and audacity and now seems to have ensnared the Biden family, as well. There is a straight line from China’s meddling in the 1996 presidential election directly to Biden, Inc. and their present-day “Chinese Connection.” 

Today, we refer to it simply as the 1996 U.S. Campaign Finance Controversy. However, during the Clinton presidency, it was so much more. Both the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) were directly involved in raising large sums of cash from foreign sources, mostly with ties to the Chinese government. The lead actors in the scandal were Johnny Huang, Charlie Trie, Johnny Chung and James Riady. There was also the infamous fundraiser at the Buddhist temple in California and the straw donors they used to funnel money to the DNC – all the makings of a true crime classic. 

After the election, the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee's final report stated that “the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNC in violation of United States law…” It went on to say, “the Committee uncovered strong circumstantial evidence that the Government of the People's Republic of China was involved in funding, directing or encouraging some of these foreign contributions.”

That was China’s entrée into American elections. Just prior to leaving office in September 2000, President Clinton signed into law the US-China Trade Relationship Act, clearly in exchange for their financial stewardship of his campaign. China got full and permanent normalized trade relations with the U.S., making their acceptance into the World Trade Organization (WTO) a foregone conclusion. When the Clintons left office broke, the money they raised giving speeches was not nearly enough to get them out of debt, let alone give them the lifestyle they so desperately craved. The Clinton Foundation, perhaps not so coincidentally, had been established in 1997 and became the vehicle by which Chinese money flowed into our politics and the Clintons’ pockets. However, it was only after the Clintons left office that it began to really mushroom into what we see today.

The Clintons have always understood that power and money in politics are intertwined. So, it came as no surprise that after carpet-bagging her way to a U.S. Senate seat in New York, Hillary ran for president in 2008. After all, it was her turn. After losing to Obama in what was a stunning defeat to the Clinton machine, they made a Faustian deal. The Obamas craved power and legitimacy, while the Clintons needed money and a perch from which Hillary could stay relevant for her next presidential bid. As Secretary of State, everyone -- including China -- knew she would run again in 2016. It is during that time that the money from China as well as other foreign nations really began to pour into the Clinton Foundation.

Both Russia and China have continually tried to influence U.S. elections to their benefit. Who can forget Uranium One and the $2.4 million that somehow found its way to the Clinton Foundation? The Clintons aren’t the only political family cashing in on foreign connections. Biden Inc. watched and learned a lot from the Clintons. They too would be an equal opportunity conduit to the power elite in D.C. After all, what is the difference between a K-Street lobbyist and Cathay-State lobbying? It was an all-too-familiar pattern, except what used to be more secretive and funneled through straw donors or Chinese businessmen was now in the age of social media much more out in the open. Instead of covert dealings, Biden, Inc. has tried to rename and redefine it to mean something else. It is now as if we are being told, “Who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes”? Even if someone wants to argue their chummy relations with the power elite of foreign nations and the timing of the numerous large transfer of monies is coincidental, it should not be acceptable on any level.

It seems history does, in fact, repeat itself. First came the Clintons and their foundation. Now, we have the Biden family and Biden, Inc. Even more than Russia, the ties that bind them make up the Chinese Connection. November 3 will tell us a lot about the direction of the country, and how the nexus of money and power really flows in and through the D.C. establishment.

It will also leave a lot of important questions unanswered. Foremost among them is whether as a country we have become so numb to pay-for-play politics that it no longer matters. The time of choosing is at hand. Where is Popeye Doyle when we need him most?

I still wonder how many members of Congre$$ have made tons of money investing in China’s businesses.

Do the Chinese Own Joe Biden? The Democrat nominee appears to have compromised himself to foreign powers
American Thinker ^ | 10/20/2020 | J., Robert Smith / FR Posted by SeekAndFind

Americans will need to come to grips with a mounting, deadly serious crisis. The Democrat nominee for the presidency appears saturated with corruption, and worse -- yes, there’s a worse here -- he’s compromised himself to foreign powers, one of which -- the People’s Republic of China (PRC) -- is rightly regarded as an enemy of the U.S. Sly Vlad Putin and whoever runs the Ukraine owns Joe Biden, too.

Russia and the Ukraine having the goods on Biden is bad enough, but China is the U.S.’s principal rival for global dominance. The blackmailing of a President Joe Biden is a chilling prospect. Biden as president imperils the nation in ways never experienced before.

What does this mean to the Sino-American rivalry? It means that with Biden blackmailed and in the White House, the Chinese may never fire a shot to gain hegemony over the U.S. -- the domination that tyrant Xi Jingping dreams about.

Did you know that in the last week the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group was deployed to the South China Sea? Let’s examine this development and then tie it in to the growing Biden earlyuber-scandal. Per USNI News, October 15, 2020: The carrier strike group] is now operating in the South China Sea for the third time as part of its current underway period. Meanwhile, a destroyer made a transit of the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday. USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and its strike group passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the South China Sea on Monday, according to ship spotters. Accompanying the carrier was guided-missile cruiser USS Antietam (CG-54) and destroyer USS Halsey (DDG-97). USS Barry (DDG-52) passed through the strait on Wednesday, a first for a U.S. warship since Aug. 31. “The ship’s transit through Taiwan Strait. (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

BIDEN, PELOSI, CLINTON, DEMOCRATS IN LOCKSTEP WITH COMMUNIST CHINA

The monumental disaster of the Clinton US-China Relations Act is becoming clearer. It was Bill Clinton’s last (cough) "presidential accomplishment," the historic moment when a Democrat president of the greatest superpower of all time, sap-happily handed its demise to a backward country, poised to strip America of its intellectual and technological superiority.

CLINTON SAP-HAPPILY SIGNING OVER AMERICAN SUPERIORITY TO BACKWARD CHINA

Feb 20, 2020 Pelosi went to Cali Chinatown to stick it to Pres Trump. She tweeted:
"It was a pleasure to make fortune cookies at the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory."
There's no confusion WRT her China loyalties; the message she placed inside the fortune cookie? “United We Stand.”

AND THIS MEGA SUCKUP BY JOE BIDEN

When he threw his hat into the 2020 ring, Biden came out swinging. He mocked President Donald Trump's position on China at a campaign rally.

BIDEN: Trump says “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man...they can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west.... they can’t even figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system.'

"I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not, they’re not competition for us.”

Did $uckup$, Joe and Hunter Biden help China compile “The Friendly US Governors’ List?”
The toadying Bidens have untold ways to $uckup to China for lucrative in$ider deal$.

CHINA NETWORKING IN US --Secy of State Mike Pompeo Has the List
American Governors Rated ‘Friendly’ by Communist China
pjmedia.com | 2/9/2020 | MEGAN FOX

In a shocking speech to the National Governors Association, Secretary Mike Pompeo revealed that he is in possession of a list of American governors who have been listed as “friendly” by Chinese Communist infiltrators. Pompeo said he had received an earlier invitation from a former governor to attend a networking event that promised great “deal-making” opportunities with the Chinese government. This networking event was run by “The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries,” said Pompeo.

But what the US participants might not have known is that “the group is the public face of the Chinese Communist party’s official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department.”

Pompeo knew of this connection from his former position at the CIA.

He questioned the governors on how many of them knew that this group was a Communist-front group. “What if you made a “new friend” at the China networking event?” he asked.

“What if your ‘new friend’ offered to invest big money in your state: (A) perhaps in your pension fund, (B) or an investment in an industry sensitive to our national security?”

And then Pompeo dropped a huge bomb on the crowd. “These aren’t hypotheticals. Last year a Chinese government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all fifty of America’s governors on their attitudes toward China.

China labeled each pol friendly, hardline, or ambiguous.” Pompeo continued, “I’ll let you decide where you think you belong, someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report, are referenced by name.” (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com …

[Paine in the Neck]

It was the money-grubbing Clintons who showed the Chinese commies how cheaply and easily American politicians could be bought. For a few million$ slipped into Hillary’s greasy paw they saved tens or hundreds of Billion$ in ballistic missile development costs and decades shaved off the learning curve.
The Bidens are mere pilotfish to the mega-shark Clintons.

[null and void]

Here’s the deal: The DNC and biden/harris enable Antifa and BLM to burn out the cores of American cities.

Those cities will be rebuilt on exclusive contracts by Chinese guest workers, with Chinese steal [sic], and Chinese concrete, as designed by Chinese architects, with Chinese PLA provided bugging devices in every unit.

For a dear price, with kickbacks, of course...
