Hunter Biden Under Scrutiny for Business Deals With Chinese Exec With Links to Military

Hunter Biden allegedly sought to pocket millions from deals involving a Chinese energy giant with ties to the Chinese military, according to emails obtained by the New York Post.

Re-Posted from THE EPOCH TIMES BY FRANK FANG AND CATHY HE October 16, 2020 Updated: October 17, 2020 Print

An alleged email from James Gilliar of the international consultancy J2cR that was sent to Biden on May 13, 2017 detailed “remuneration packages” for six people in an unspecified deal apparently involving the now-bankrupt Chinese oil giant CEFC China Energy. Biden, who is the second son of former Vice President and current presidential candidate Joe Biden, was identified as “Chair/Vice Chair” of a new company, “depending on agreement with CEFC.” His pay would be “850.”

Gilliar did not immediately return a request for comment about his involvement.

The email also mentions a “provisional agreement” under which a person identified as “H,” an apparent reference to Hunter Biden, would hold 20 percent “equity” in the new company, as well as 10 percent “held…for the big guy.” The email doesn’t identify who the “big guy” is.

Gilliar also said he would be “happy to raise any detail with Zang if there is [sic] shortfalls ?,” in an apparent reference to Zang Jianjun, a former executive director at CEFC.

Shanghai-based conglomerate CEFC China Energy was China’s largest privately-held oil company before it was caught in Beijing’s crosshairs in 2018. The oil conglomerate made billions of dollars in Russia, eastern Europe, and parts of Africa, while its now-disgraced founder and chairman Ye Jianming fostered cozy ties with high-level Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

Ye has been missing since early 2018 after he was placed under investigation by the Chinese regime for “suspected economic crimes” and detained. A state-owned enterprise took control of CEFC in March 2019, and the firm declared bankruptcy early this year, according to Chinese media Caixin.

In a separate email Biden sent to Hong Kong financier Dong Gongwen on Aug. 2, 2017, Biden reveals that he previously had a three-year agreement with CEFC that would pay him $10 million per year “for introductions alone.”

Dong was Ye’s business associate and executed transactions for Ye’s companies, according to a recent Senate report.

But Ye later sweetened the deal, giving Biden 50 percent ownership of a holding company named “Hudson West,” with Ye owning the other half, the email stated.

“Consulting fees is one piece of our income stream but the reason this proposal by the chairman was so much more interesting to me and my family is that we would also be partners inn [sic] the equity and profits of the JV’s [joint venture’s] investments,” Biden wrote.

An Aug. 1, 2017 photo obtained by The New York Post of a hand-drawn organization chart outlined Hudson West’s ownership. It showed that the company was controlled 50/50 by two entities that were ultimately controlled by Biden and a person identified as “Chairman” respectively.

The Senate report also showed that Hunter Biden’s law firm, Owasco PC, was one of two owners of a company called Hudson West III, which has since been dissolved.

In September 2017, Biden and Dong opened a line of credit at a bank under Hudson West III, the report said. Credit cards issued under the account were made available to Biden, his uncle James Biden, and James’ wife Sara Biden. They purchased more than $100,000 worth of “extravagant items, including airline tickets and multiple items at Apple Inc. stores, pharmacies, hotels, and restaurants,” it said.

The emails obtained by the Post were allegedly from the hard drive of a laptop left at a Mac repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware in April 2019, that was never retrieved. The FBI then allegedly seized the laptop, and the repair shop owner later gave a copy of the hard drive to former New York City mayor Rudy Guiliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney. Guiliani then gave the contents to the Post. Guiliani said he spent three weeks authenticating the materials on the drive. The Epoch Times has not seen a copy of the files and could not independently verify this claim.

Joe Biden’s campaign did not return a request for comment.

Fallen Oil Tycoon

Ye had extensive ties to the Chinese military.

According to the Senate report, Ye served as deputy secretary-general of the China Association for International Friendly Contacts (CAIFC) from 2003 to 2005.

The association is a front group for the Chinese military’s former General Political Department, a political organ within the Central Military Commission—the CCP agency that controls the armed forces, according to a 2018 report published by the Congress-appointed U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC). That department was replaced by a new agency called the Political Work Department in 2016.

“CAIFC has additional ties to the Ministries of State Security, Civil Affairs, and Foreign Affairs, and it is a platform for deploying undercover intelligence gatherers,” the report said.

USCC added: “In addition to sending intelligence collectors abroad, CAIFC sponsors trips to China by foreign military and veteran groups, businesspeople, and former politicians which typically include contact with hand-picked PLA personnel,” referring to the People’s Liberation Army, the official name of the Chinese regime’s military.

Caixin published an extensive report on CEFC in March 2018. It stated that CEFC’s Party secretary, Jiang Chunyu, was a retired Chinese armed police officer. All major firms in China are required to set up Party units within their offices.

Jiang was also once head of a military police school located in Shanghai. According to Chinese news portal Sina, the school was combined with other institutes to form the PLA Nanjing Political College in August 2017.

According to Caixin, Ye was also chairman of the board at a company called Shanghai Zhenrong Energy Corporation from 2007 to 2008. Shanghai Zhenrong was jointly established by three companies; two of them were CEFC and Zhuhai Zhenrong Corporation.

Zhuhai Zhenrong was sanctioned by the U.S. government in July 2019 for engaging in oil transactions with Iran, in violation of U.S. sanctions on the Iranian regime.

According to Caixin, CEFC established a Shanghai Charity Fund in 2011, hiring Li Guangjin, a retired political officer from the PLA’s Shanghai Garrison, as the fund’s chairman. Additionally, Wang Hongyuan, a former bureau chief at the General Office of the Central Military Commission, became the fund’s standing director.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau disclosed that several CEFC executives had ties to the Chinese military and the Chinese regime, in its monthly magazine Prospect & Exploration published in July 2018.

For instance, the magazine pointed out that Xiong Fengsheng, CEFC’s director and Party secretary of the company’s discipline commission at the time, was once head of the PLA Air Force’s 461 Hospital, located in the northeastern city of Jilin.

Some CEFC executives previously worked in the Chinese government or at state-owned firms.

One of CEFC’s deputy presidents, Jiang Mingsheng, once worked at China’s central bank, the People’s Bank of China. He was also a one-time Party secretary while working at the Shanghai branch of the China Merchants Bank, according to the magazine.

Pan Zhigang, an economist at CEFC, was once office director at the International Cooperation Center of China’s National Development and Reform Commission, a state planning agency.

Biden had previously told The New Yorker in a July 2019 article that he didn’t consider Ye to be a “shady character at all,” and characterized his investigation and detention as “bad luck.”

Ye also established a nonprofit based in Hong Kong and Arlington, Virginia, called the China Energy Fund Committee, which had “special consultative status” with the United Nations.

The organization’s general secretary was Hong Kong businessman Patrick Ho. Ho was also Biden’s client at Owasco, according to the Senate report.

In March 2019, Ho was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison for paying millions in bribes to the presidents of Chad and Uganda to secure oil rights for CEFC.

On March 22, 2018, months before Ho was to go on trial, a $1 million payment was sent from Hudson West III to Owasco for Ho’s legal representation, the Senate report found.

The Post obtained an “Attorney Engagement Letter” executed in September 2017, in which Ho agreed to pay Biden $1 million as a retainer for legal services. Biden told The New Yorker in 2019 that he agreed to represent Ho after Ye told him that he was concerned that “U.S. law-enforcement agencies were investigating” Ho.

Ho was convicted of money laundering, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act, and other charges. He was freed in June this year, with the judge shortening his incarceration after he demonstrated good behavior.

A previous version of this article incorrectly stated when the laptop was dropped off at the computer repair shop. It was dropped off in April 2019. It also incorrectly stated James Biden’s relationship with Hunter Biden. James is Joe Biden’s brother; Hunter’s uncle.

Klaus Schwab – The New Karl Marx Destined to Kill Hundreds of Millions


Armstrong Economics Blog/Socialist Re-Posted on Oct 16, 2020 by Martin Armstrong

The New York Times cheered Stalin and constantly reported that this was the way to the future. They are supporting once again this move to a Marxist Utopia. The New York Times hid the truth about Stalin. His great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death.

So many people are really just ignorant. They think this election is about picking Trump v Biden. They are clueless because mainstream media is once again supporting this agenda of the Great Reset. Listen carefully to Schwab’s words. He expressly states “equality” which is the dream which began with Karl Marx.

The New York Times cheered Stalin and constantly reported that this was the way to the future. They are supporting once again this move to a Marxist Utopia. The New York Times hid the truth about Stalin. His great economic miracle was achieved by taking all the food from Ukraine to pretend Communism was working in Russia causing over 7 million to starve to death.

I strongly recommend you watch the movie Mr. Jones. This exposes the TRUE STORY of how the New York Times tried to support Communism in the United States back then, with their top journalist, Walter Duranty (1884-1957), who was their main man in Moscow. The New York Times promoted him to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize for that reporting on how Communism was Utopia and our future. When Gareth Jones (1905-1935) in March 1933 reported this was all a lie, the truth finally began to appear.

It took the New York Times until 1990 to admit to that their reporting which covered up the truth about Stalin and the massive starvation in an effort, like Schwab, once again selling “equality” as our salvation. The New York Times covered up the more than 7 million people who died of starvation in the Ukraine famine. The New York Times wrote that their reporting on the Russian Revolution constituted “some of the worst reporting to appear in this newspaper.” They never revoked his Pultizer Prize for writing fake news about Stalin.

It was the New York Times’ Walter Duranty who also met with Franklin Roosevelt and supported the move toward Marxism in the United States as the “New Deal”. It was the New York Times’ Duranty that helped install drastic progressiveness in taxation in the United States following Marx, Lenin, and Stalin. This is precisely what Schwab is proposing with “equality” in league with his buddy, Thomas Piketty.

Anyone who thinks this is an election of just Democrat v Republican is a fool. There is a serious agenda behind these lockdowns and they have been intended to prevent commuters and to crush the world economy. Even Australia rules out international travel at least until the end of 2021. All of this is to reduce air travel to reduce CO2. This is the real agenda that Schwab has been selling behind the curtain. He will probably go down in history surpassing the death toll of Karl Marx. His lockdowns have already reduced the food supply and this raises the prospect of famine coming into play by 2022.

Fox News Confirms Biden/China Payoff – Rudy Giuliani Talks to Lou Dobbs….


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 16, 2020 by sundance

In a breaking news story tonight, Fox News has confirmed with one of the Hunter Biden email recipients that the purpose of the content was setting up payments to Hunter Biden knowing the money would be funneled to his father, Joe Biden [SEE HERE]

In related news Rudy Giuliani appears on Fox News with Lou Dobbs to explain the content of the electronic files and the institutional blackout to keep the information hidden:

(Via Fox News) One of the people on an explosive email thread allegedly involving Hunter Biden has corroborated the veracity of the messages, which appear to outline a payout for former Vice President Joe Biden as part of a deal with a Chinese energy firm.

One email, dated May 13, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, includes a discussion of “remuneration packages” for six people in a business deal with a Chinese energy firm. The email appeared to identify Hunter Biden as “Chair / Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC,” in an apparent reference to now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.

The email includes a note that “Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate.” A proposed equity split references “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” with no further details. Fox News spoke to one of the people who was copied on the email, who confirmed its authenticity.

Sources told Fox News that “the big guy” is a reference to the former vice president. The New York Post initially published the emails and other controversial messages that Fox News has also obtained. (read more)

Gerald Storch Discusses Potential for Holiday Retail Sales…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 16, 2020 by sundance

Former Toys ‘R’ Us Chairman and CEO and Storch Advisors CEO Gerald Storch, appears on Fox Business to discuss today’s remarkable retail sales data. Storch rightly notes the September year-over-year spending was a whopping 8 percent on durable goods.

This outcome foretells good news for the holiday shopping season… except, as I noted, there is a slight issue. None of the current on-hand inventories are enough to fulfill demand for a big holiday shopping season. Hence, my advice – buy early, buy now.

Stunning MAGAnomic Comeback – September Retail Sales Jump 1.9 Percent, and 5.4 Percent Year Over Year…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 16, 2020 by sundance

The September retail sales show it’s a super-V recovery folks.  According to Census Retail data released today [LINK HERE] – [PDF HERE] September retail sales jumped 1.9 percent, that result is triple what forecasters and economists had projected.  However, the data is even better.  Need more winnamins !

A September 2020 comparison to September 2019 shows last month’s retail sales jumped a whopping 5.4 percent year-over-year.  That means last month saw consumer spending 5.4% higher than consumer spending before COVID-19 hit the U.S. economy. Keep in mind two-thirds of U.S. GDP is driven by retail sales and consumer spending.

Reuters is absolutely apoplectic with disappointment because their forecasters were only looking for 0.7 percent growth, and the 1.9 percent result is almost triple their expectations.  Despite missing the forecast, Reuters doubles-down on a “dark cloud” narrative and sells a doomsayer message because the globalists/multinationals are sad.

(Reuters) […] Retail sales jumped 1.9% last month as consumers bought motor vehicles and clothing, dined out and splashed out on hobbies. That followed an unrevised 0.6% increase in August.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast retail sales would rise 0.7% in September.

[…] Retail sales have bounced back above their February level, with the pandemic boosting demand for goods that complement life at home, including furniture and electronics. An aversion to public transportation has boosted motor vehicle purchases. Retail sales rose 5.4% on a year-on-year basis in September. (link)

Go read the Reuters analysis and you’ll see they are doomsaying, under the auspices that more stimulus spending is needed or the economy will collapse.  Nonsense. The data is the data… and the data tells a stunningly good story that totally aligns with what I have witnessed in all of my recent travels.

Yes, some more very narrowly targeted and specifically tailored recovery spending is wise and appropriate; but a massive spending package is not needed unless we are talking about the politics of it.  Politically putting money in the hands of workers/consumers is a good move…. but our economic position is not contingent upon it.  The economic engine has restarted and is firing strong; more government spending is pure nitrous now.

(Via Associated Press) […] “We’re optimistic about the prospects for a strong holiday season, as people want something to look forward to and bring joy to their lives,” Shay said. “While it’s been a challenging year for everyone, there’s been an enormous amount of innovation within the retail industry and retailers have demonstrated that we can keep the economy open and operating safely.”

“Retail sales are continuing to build on the momentum we’ve seen through the summer and have been boosted by an improving labor market, a rebound in consumer confidence and elevated savings,” NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz said. “A significant number of people remain unemployed, but more are going back to work and that makes them confident about spending.

September retail sales reflect the support of government measures and elevated savings that is being spent now that consumers are shopping again. With less spending on personal services such as travel and entertainment outside the home, some of that money is shifting to retail cash registers. All in all, these numbers and other economic data show the nation’s economy remains on its recovery path.”  (more)

As many of you know I have been traveling extensively throughout the country as I continue to brief groups on background DC, DOJ and FBI information from my years of research. During these travels I make a point to visit sector-specific businesses to inquire about their economic and business growth status.

The disconnect amid a ground reality compared to business reporting and financial media is actually stunning. However, perhaps that is because my physical ‘on-the-ground’ inquires and reports are ahead of the natural lag in the economic data rolling up to the accounting level. Here’s what I can tell you with absolute certainty.

The amount of heavy equipment, industrial equipment, hardware and goods being moved around the country is more than I have ever witnessed or seen in decades of travel. The mid-west, mid-atlantic, southeast, and more specifically the south in general, has more haulers and semi-trucks on the road than I have ever witnessed…. ever…. by a substantial margin. The same is true for rail freight and cargo vessels.

Regardless of what financial pundits and economic media might be saying, the underlying economic activity in the U.S. right now is explosive and moving at a much more rapid pace than before the COVID crisis. Regionally, business owners and operators all report the same thing, and the same need for a larger workforce. All of them are hiring; however, some sector specifics and regional specifics are much more intense.

So here’s my final data-driven tip and prediction for you this year.  Do not share it with anyone except your closest family and friends:

#1 – There will be a severe shortage of holiday gift items for purchasing this holiday season; a severe shortage.  Make your list of presents now; and go buy them as soon as possible.  Trust me on this… stuff will be scarce and you will not be able to find in mid-late November and/or December.  Demand will be off-the-charts.

#2 – There will be a severe shortage of staple food items for holiday meal cooking.  If you do cooking or baking for your family this year, buy your shelf-stable items early.  Purchase your ingredients and shelf-stable food and beverage items early.

Wait for the fresh product purchases as normal, those are unaffected.  However, the side items and shelf-stable food products (flour, sugars, dry spices, condiments, dried fruits etc.) will be in very limited supply.

In all consumer purchase sectors existing inventories are already too low to support the normal holiday demand..

Purchase early and avoid the panic.  You will be a hero for your family.

The third quarter (July, Aug, Sept) GDP figures, which will be released on the last Friday in this month, are going to be record-breaking.

Rudy Giuliani Outlines the Unreleased Evidence Against Joe and Hunter Biden For Taking Payments from Foreign Governments…


Posted originally on The Conservative Tree House on October 16, 2020 by sundance

Direct evidence implicating former Vice President Joe Biden in a pay-for-play corruption scandal will be released to the public 10 days prior to the 2020 election, Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, told Daily Caller’s senior White House correspondent Christian Datoc in an exclusive interview.

The former New York City mayor spoke with Datoc for a half-hour in New York City Thursday evening about all of the new allegations raised by emails and text messages alleged to have been pulled from a hard drive previously owned by Hunter Biden. WATCH:
