Thank you for Jim and Hunter for bringing the owner to talk to us directly,\u201d sh2e writes in an email received by Hunter, Jim, and Gongwen Dong, a Chinese investor involved in multiple deals linked to the Bidens.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Leveraging the family name to secure high profile meetings for foreign clients was not just a good deal for Hunter and Jim Biden.<\/p>\n<p>It has been previously reported <a class href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/07\/04\/hunter-biden-engaged-in-some-daddy-pay-care-devine\/\"><span class>by the <em>New York Post<\/em><\/span><\/a> that Hunter was responsible for family expenses \u2014 with Hunter once telling his daughter that he has to \u201cpay for everything for this entire family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Post<\/em> reported in July:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p>\u2018I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years,\u2019 Hunter wrote in a 2019 text message to his daughter, Naomi, that was found on his abandoned laptop. \u2018It\u2019s really hard. But don\u2019t worry, unlike Pop [Joe], I won\u2019t make you give me half your salary.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In another email on October 29, 2017, Bao writes to discuss plans for the business venture, saying Hunter is the best person to help his \u201cfriend,\u201d CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, because he has \u201caccess to decision makers\u201d required to approve the transfer of essential natural resources to foreign entities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough you and Uncle Jim\u2019s connection, with Monkey Island\/Magnolia\/Project ABC as a starting point \/ talking point, we can check out a lot of all other interesting Louisana\/Taxes\/Gulf of Mexico U.

Accordingly, it appears that Hunter and James Biden, based on their family name and political influence, were agents of CEFC, as both had planned roles with CEFC\u2019s investment vehicles and engaged in efforts to seal financial deals for Ye and CEFC, which would ultimately benefit the communist Chinese government.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hunter\u2019s communication with JiaQi Bao did not end at the Monkey Island deal, as she wrote to him in March, 2019, urging him to \u201chelp Uncle Joe run for President.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should not be distracted by random media articles. You need to help Uncle Joe run for President. Your father really should run for 2020 for this country,\u201d she wrote on March 14, one month before Biden announced his candidacy for president on April 25 of that year.<\/p>\n<p>The email also contains a list of reasons why Bao thinks Joe Biden would make a better leader than \u201cignorant+arrogant\u201d then-President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In a section titled \u201cUncle Joe 2020,\u201d Bao, the intermediary between Hunter and his corrupt business partners and CCP assets in China, includes a litany of character traits and policy issues she believes Joe Biden is strong on, including \u201cwisdom,\u201d \u201csensibility,\u201d \u201cleadership\u201d and opposition to a southern border wall.<\/p>\n<p>When domestic oil supplies began to decline, the Biden Administration <a class href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/01\/watch-biden-admits-irony-of-asking-opec-for-oil-while-pushing-climate-change-policies\/\"><span class>appealed to foreign oil suppliers<\/span><\/a> such as OPEC to open their valves to keep up with demand.
