Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) underscored on Sunday that President Joe Biden has been &#8220;highly compromised&#8221; by China. As a result, Biden may have been leveraged and ineffective going into his Nov. 14 meeting in Indonesia with Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n<h3>The accusation<br \/><\/h3>\n<p>On Nov. 13, Fox News&#8217; Maria Bartiromo <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IZgq9kGOskk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">asked Johnson<\/a>, &#8220;How is Joe Biden going to protect America meeting Xi Jinping tomorrow when we know he&#8217;s taken in all that money from Chinese officials tied to the CCP?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bartiromo&#8217;s suggestion that Biden took money from Chinese officials is partly a reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/01\/27\/chinese-elite-have-paid-some-31m-to-hunter-and-the-bidens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allegations<\/a> that Chinese elites paid an estimated $31 million to Hunter Biden and members of the Biden family. <\/p>\n<p>Johnson replied, &#8220;It&#8217;s obvious that President Biden is highly compromised because of Hunter Biden&#8217;s influence peddling. &#8230; The FBI&#8217;s known about this probably going back to 2014, 2015, when you had prosecutions or investigations of Devon Archer, Hunter Biden\u2018s business partner. This corruption has been going back quite a few years. It needs to be fully exposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TheBlaze previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/sen-chuck-grassley-hunter-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> on claims that the president&#8217;s son and brother had a &#8220;lucrative&#8221; business deal with the foreign energy company CEFC China Energy, which is connected to the Chinese Communist Party \u2014 a deal Hunter Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/hunter-biden-emails-chinese-energy-company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> was &#8220;interesting for me and my family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Joe Biden may have kept many of these dealings at arm&#8217;s length, but his hand was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/new-book-biden-big-guy-10-percent-cut\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">allegedly<\/a> always open.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/18\/bidens-5m-china-loan-part-of-pay-to-play-scheme-sen-grassley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> in October that the Biden family allegedly received a $5 million interest-free loan from the Chinese energy conglomerate in 2017. <\/p>\n<p>The Post previously <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/15\/emails-reveal-how-hunter-biden-tried-to-cash-in-big-with-chinese-firm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggested<\/a> that Hunter may have been receiving a $10 million per year fee from a Chinese billionaire for &#8220;introductions alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of Oct. 26, White House spokesman John Kirby <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/26\/wh-spox-cant-say-if-hunter-biden-still-co-owns-firm-with-beijing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">still cannot confirm<\/a> whether Hunter Biden still co-owns an investment firm with the Chinese regime.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson told Bartiromo, &#8220;My feeling is that Joe Biden is highly compromised. Why else would we cancel the China Initiative, the DOD program designed to investigate China&#8217;s theft of our intellectual property from colleges and universities.
