One year later (and just two months after the Penn Biden center opened its D.C. office), anonymous donations from China to UD skyrocketed. The first payment came in April 2018 in the amount of $3,204,070 from an anonymous donor in China. In December 2018, another anonymous donation from China arrived for $1,869,515. A third anonymous China-linked payment, for $624,904, arrived in December 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">In 2020, the year that Biden was campaigning for president, anonymous Chinese state-linked entities sent three more payments totaling $1,005,761 to UD, the bulk of which arrived after Biden had been declared the president-elect.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_23188298\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/UD-fund.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-23188298 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/UD-fund.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1431\" height=\"214\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click on the image to enlarge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Three of these donations from China\u2014with a combined total of $1,005,761\u2014were <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.ed.gov\/foreigngifts\/\">reported<\/a> as coming from a \u201cForeign Government Source,\u201d according to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) records assembled from information reported to the DOE by the University of Delaware.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23253353\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fgs-high.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23253353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/fgs-high.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"287\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click on the image to enlarge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It should be noted that, according to the available records, none the donations from China to the University of Pennsylvania following the creation of the Penn Biden Center appear to have been reported to the DOE as coming from a \u201cForeign Government Source\u201d \u2014 a fact which led at least one fact-checker to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/joe-biden-classified-documents-donald-trump-1775818\">conclude<\/a> that the Penn Biden Center was being unfairly labeled as \u201cChina-funded\u201d\u00a0because the influx of funding from China to UPenn following its establishment was not given this DOE identifier.
