Associates of Ye and Biden, including the then-Serbian foreign minister, brokered the connection between the two men, Biden and Ye.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Hunter Biden would tell his then-partner Tony Bobulinski in text messages dated October 14, 2017, that he spoke with Ye on a \u201cregular basis\u201d and that they had a once-a-week call. Biden would also become Ye\u2019s personal counsel in the U.S. \u2014 essentially an employee and representative for the Chinese global energy chairman in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn brief, Hunter Biden was now the U.S. representative for an intelligence- and military-linked Chinese company that was supporting voices calling for an aggressive military posture against the United States and its allies,\u201d Schweizer writes.<\/p>\n<p>Ye had a number of ties to Chinese military intelligence. CEFC was housed in a complex in Shanghai\u2019s French concession section, an area \u201cprimarily controlled by China\u2019s military.\u201d One of Ye\u2019s early business partners with the granddaughter of one of the founders of China\u2019s military, Marshall Ye Jianying.<\/p>\n<p>Ye had also built his business by acquiring assets from a former People\u2019s Liberation Army (PLA) officer closely linked with Chinese military intelligence, Lai Changxing. Ye was also the deputy secretary-general of either the China Association for International Friendly Contract (CAIFC) or its Shanghai branch from 2003 to 2005. CAIFC is funded by Chinese PLA intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there were Chinese military officers affiliated with Ye\u2019s company who also had ties to the PLA National Defense university. CEFC also funded a related non-profit think tank called the China Energy Fund Committee, whose analysts would advocate for using military force in the South China Sea. Another CEFC subsidiary called for Taiwan\u2019s reunification with mainland China.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Schweizer writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ye was at the center of Beijing\u2019s economic strategy. His firm, CEFC, saw itself as playing an important and central role in advancing China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative, which was designed to expand Chinese economic and political influence worldwide. Accordingly, CEFC was also an oil supplier to the People\u2019s Liberation Army.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hunter Biden worked with Ye and his associates with the hopes of developing CEFC into a global energy company with vast energy holdings in countries like Oman, Romania, Colombia, and Luxemburg.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>But CEFC also had ambitions in the U.S. \u2014 which provided the opportunity for the $6 million payment.<\/p>\n<p>CEFC had plans to invest in U.S. infrastructure and set up two entities to make that happen \u2014 Hudson West IV and SinoHawk. Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden was involved in running those efforts. Hunter Biden hired Tony Bobulinski, an experienced financial manager.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, Hunter Biden made plans to house his businesses, one of his father\u2019s offices for the Biden Foundation, and CEFC together in an office space in Washington. For his \u201cnew office mates,\u201d Hunter listed: \u201cJoe Biden Jill Biden Jim Biden Gongwen Dong (Chairman Ye CEFC emissary).\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Hunter wrote in an email on September 21, 2017: \u201cI would like the office sign to reflect the following The Biden Foundation Hudson West (CEFC U.S.). The lease will remain under my company\u2019s name Rosemont Seneca.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dong not only had notable ties to those embedded in Chinese intelligence and foreign influence operations, according to Schweizer, but he also was the chief financial officer at the Beijing-based Radiance Property Holdings \u2014 which was tied to the Chinese government\u2019s \u201cunited front\u201d foreign influence operations.<\/p>\n<p>The firm \u2014 now called Radiance Holdings \u2014 is controlled and run by Lam Ting Keung, a businessman with deep connections to \u201cunited front\u201d groups linked to Chinese intelligence. Lam was also a member of the Chinese People\u2019s Political Consultative Conference, a high-ranking Communist Party advisory body that is also a central component of the Chinese government\u2019s united front efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Schweizer writes: \u201cAccording to a U.S. federal government commission, united front organizations often serve as covers for Chinese intelligence operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe money soon began to flow,\u201d Schweizer writes. Over 2017, CEFC sent Hunter Biden close to $6 million.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19621010\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19621010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AP111013123638.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"307\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">James and Sara Biden arrive at the White House to attend the State Dinner for South Korea, on October 13, 2011.

CEFC executive Zhao Running wrote that $5 million was intended as money lent to the BD family,\u201d not just Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis $5 million loan to the BD [Biden] family is interest free,\u201d Zhao wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Schweizer notes that \u201cinterest-free loans provide tremendous leverage because the lender can demand its money back if it is displeased by any action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In August 2017, CEFC Infrastructure Investment LLC sent Hunter Biden\u2019s law firm, Owasco, $100.000. Four days later, the firm wired $5 million to another entity controlled by Ye, which then started sending regular payment to Owasco. Biden then transferred $1.4 million of that money to a firm called Lion Hall Group, which was controlled by his uncle James Biden and his wife, Sara Biden.<\/p>\n<p>On September 8, 2017, Hunter Biden and Dong applied for a line of credit, making James and Sara authorized users for credit cards on the account. They then bought $100,000 in luxury items.<\/p>\n<p>When the CEFC infrastructure fund known as Hudson West later folded, a Chinese assistant to Hunter Biden wrote him, \u201cWhatever money from Hudson West, please take them, take as much as possible or figure out a way to spend them for your own benefits \u2026 just take it and keep as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Red-Handed-American-Elites-Helping-China\/dp\/0063061147\/?tag=breitbart035-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\"><em>Red-Handed<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;was published by Harper-Collins.
