New Messages Reveal Joe Biden Sought a Meeting With a Chinese Businessman After Millions in Payments

With the first impeachment inquiry hearing underway on Thursday, the slow drip of evidence against Joe Biden continues. A new report has revealed text messages showing that the now-president requested a meeting with a Chinese businessman who had just weeks prior paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars.

President Joe Biden personally requested an audience with a Chinese oil executive whose company weeks earlier paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars in consulting fees, text messages obtained and released by the House Ways and Means Committee this week suggest.    

Hunter Biden said his uncle’s "brother" would be in New York City and wanted to meet with Ye Jianming, the chairman of the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC, in an Aug. 27, 2017, WhatsApp message to CEFC director Gongwen Dong. Emails from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop show that he and his uncle, Jim Biden, were in the city that week to meet with Ye and discuss their ongoing business relationship. Earlier that month, CEFC had wired more than $5 million to Hunter Biden’s company, Hudson West III.

This appears to be the same Chinese "chairman" mentioned in another bombshell WhatsApp message. In it, Hunter Biden said that his father was "in the room" during an attempted shakedown of Henry Zhao, a CCP-connected businessman. Hunter Biden also indicated that Joe Biden would be directly involved in punishing Zhao if the money was not handed over.

In these latest messages, we see Hunter Biden very careful not to mention his father's name directly, instead referring to him as his uncle's "brother."

"My uncle will be here with his BROTHER who would like to say hello to the Chairman," Hunter Biden texted Dong as they were arranging a luncheon meeting with Ye later that afternoon. "So please give me location and time. Jim’s BROTHER if he is coming just wants to say hello he will not be stopping for lunch."

Hunter Biden appears to be referring to his father, who had extensive involvement in the Biden family’s dealings with CEFC. His other uncle, Frank Biden, had no known involvement with the Chinese company.

We keep seeing these "coincidences," and there's no reason to actually believe they are coincidences. Why was Joe Biden wanting to "say hello" to a CCP-linked businessman who had just given $5 million to his son for "consulting." Further, what was the consulting for? 

None of this makes any sense. There would be no reason for Biden to want to meet with a man whom he supposedly didn't even know because he was so disconnected from his son's dealings. What this clearly appears to be is a sort of proof of influence play. Biden shows up to "say hello," and the Chinese are then satisfied that they are getting what they are paying for. There was no legitimate service being provided by Hunter Biden.

Lastly, it's worth noting that Hunter Biden's associates regarding his dealings with CEFC Energy have been charged with FARA violations. Why has Hunter Biden himself not been charged? Why was it illegal for Gal Luft to make money from CEFC Energy as an unregistered foreign agent but it wasn't for the president's son? I certainly have my suspicions.
