Hunter once asked Ye to wire $10 million for a business called SinoHawk Holdings, saying, \u201cPlease accept the best wishes from the entire Biden family,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/12\/16\/best-wishes-from-the-entire-biden-family-hunter-emailed-in-10m-chinese-request\/\">New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been clear for some time that this is not just a Chinese commercial company, that they had some intelligence ties,\u201d one expert told The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/12\/12\/business\/cefc-biden-china-washington-ye-jianming.html\">New York Times<\/a> of CEFC. Ye owned a $9 billion share in Russia\u2019s state oil company and, through CEFC, donated $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. \u201cMany who met Mr. Ye believed he was the grandson of a famous Chinese military leader; people in his hometown say he comes from a family of boatmen,\u201d the paper said.<\/p>\n<p>Ye was reportedly a former official for the China Association for International Friendly Contact, which a congressional report said had \u201cdual roles of intelligence collection and conducting People\u2019s Republic of China propaganda.\u201d By 2018, he was being detained by Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<p>In a May 2018 video on his laptop, Hunter referred to Ye saying, \u201cThe richest man in the world is missing, who was my partner,\u201d according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/spy-chief-of-china-laptop-recording-sheds-light-on-hunter-bidens-overseas-business\">Washington Examiner<\/a>. In December 2018, Hunter wrote a frustrated email to his assistant Katie saying he was cutting her pay because of financial troubles. He referred to Ye: \u201cIf you haven\u2019t noticed Katie my business partner is now a prisoner on death row in China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ye\u2019s current fate could not be confirmed, but he was last known to be\u00a0in Chinese custody in 2018 for unspecified crimes, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/12\/12\/business\/cefc-biden-china-washington-ye-jianming.html\">The New York Times<\/a>.
