Jeb Bush Funded by George Soros's Chinese Business Partner
breitbart.com ^ | SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

Posted on 09/29/2015 10:28:54 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s oil shipping business is partly financed by progressive billionaire George Soros’s Chinese business partner and protégé.

Bush’s ties to the left-wing Democratic donor could cast further suspicion on his personal business dealings during the Republican primary season. Bush is the chairman of BH Logistics, a $26 million private equity fund that was incorporated in April 2014. Who invested in BH Logistics?

Bush’s firm received a major investment from HNA Group, a Chinese private equity firm. Bush took the money from HNA Group and spent it to invest in the gas shipping company Dorian LPG, which is incorporated in the Republic of The Marshall Islands.

What is HNA Group? And more importantly, who funds it?

Look no further than George Soros.

HNA Group’s chairman Chen Feng is one of China’s wealthiest businessmen, and he has Soros to thank for it. Feng, chairman of Hainan Airlines, secured a $25 million investment from Soros in 1995 after a personal New York City meeting. In 2000, he formed HNA Group to become the parent company of Hainan Airlines. Soros invested an additional $25 million in Hainan Airlines in 2005.

HNA Group now reports $17.5 billion in revenue and owns $58 billion in assets.

Soros and HNA Group launched a joint venture in 2007 called Grand China Airlines Holding Company, which is now the majority stakeholder in Hainan Airlines. The group announced in 2014 that it was increasing its investment in Hainan Airlines. Soros owns 18.6 percent of Grand China Airlines Holding Company, with HNA Group holding 32.8 percent, and the Hainan provincial government owning the other 48.6 percent. HNA Group owns 500 operational jets through Hainan Airlines.

The Bush campaign did not provide comment for this report.

I’ve cast my votes for Republicans and only Republicans in ALL races since Ronald Reagan in 1980.

If Bush is the nominee I will NOT be casting a vote for him and it will break my streak. This time it’s a bridge too far. I can’t stand the guy.

If this were a thread about anouth candidtate there would be several comments that said something like.

Trump is a plant, not a conservative! I don’t trust him, he might change his mind or be lying about his positions. It doesn’t matter what his position is now he is lying.

At least he isn’t taking money from Soros or the Communists Chinese. But then Jeb is is upfront about being a quisling

Really?! Well now, what does that tell you?
The only way it may make sense is that Jeb support Common Core, so maybe this is all he and Soros have in common.
I have no use for Common Core, what I understand of it.

I'm becoming convinced that every action Yeb has taken over the past decade has been geared toward losing the 2016 nomination. I think he's the worst candidate I've ever seen.

All he needs to do to complete the circle is kill a puppy... something like that.

It tells me that my first reaction to reading about the positions at which he toiled post-governor of Florida, demonstrated a total lack of moral conscience.

Common core is only a casual side note. Working with Soros and a Chinese Company is just plain disgusting.

Since Bush 41, the Bush family has had a thing about the Chinese. Lots of family business contacts there.

Since Bushus Neanderthalis walked the earth, the Bush family has had a thing about money. Chinese money, Saudi money, Third Reich money… it all accumulates and spends the same; and family business contacts come in all colors.

The Kennebunkport Influence Peddlers have long been globalists where it counts: in the wallet.

I always said Yeb was taking money from Mexico and the drug dealers. Now I see it’s worse than I thought, also from Soros and the Communist Chinese.

Is there any doubt why Bush has been and would be the demodummie and medias choice for POTUS? They KNOW they can beat him in an election, even a third grader would have better than a 60/40 chance.

Soros DETESTED his brother while president, he even admitted once on camera he would give a billion dollars of his money to see him removed.

I guarantee he knew nothing about his partner doing it, which is probably true considering how so much of this is done by employees who only show the bottom line. If it was going to benefit a Bush and he had a way of spoiling it, he would have IMHO.
