Former vice president Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has done some business in China that served the “strategic interest” of the country’s communist government and military. These dealing may have compromised America’s national security.
The new documentary “Riding the Dragon: The Bidens’ Chinese Secrets”, shines a light on Hunter Biden’s involvement as a board member of the Beijing-based BHR Partners investment firm. The documentary, which is narrated by best-selling writer Peter Schweizer, is being shown online by the BlazeTV network.
Allegations from the firm suggest that Hunter was only able to secure $1 billion in funding from Chinese officials “because of who his father was: vice president of the United States” and then-President Barak Obama’s “point person on US policy towards China.”
“Hunter’s new firm… began making investment deals around the world that would serve the strategic interests of the Chinese government,” said Schweizer.
“This new firm started making investment deals that would serve the strategic interests of the Chinese military,” he added.
The deals discussed in the film include a joint venture between BHR and AVIC Auto to purchase Henniges Automotive which is an American auto-parts manufacturer, as well as investments in the China General Nuclear Power Corp.
In 2016 the FBI busted a China General nuclear engineer for conspiring to help China illegally gain possession of “sensitive nuclear technology” from within the United States. The General pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison.
Then in 2017, an executive with CEFC China Energy Co. was also busted by the FBI for bribing African officials. The executive contacted Joe Biden’s brother in order to obtain Hunter’s contact information. He was later convicted and sentenced to three years in prison.
“Why exactly was he calling Hunter Biden,” Schweizer asks. “What sort of help was he expecting?”
“We don’t know the answer to that question,” he said. “But what we do know is that the Bidens have cultivated very close relationships with members of the Chinese elite.”
