Hunter Biden's Laptops Scandal Exposes How Communists Work

Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop revealed much information, including Hunter’s shady business dealings in Ukraine and China, raising questions about the extent to which President Biden was involved in his son’s business activities. This ongoing scandal lifted the curtain of foreign governments’ covert influence campaigns in the United States. No government has conducted such influence campaigns more effectively than Communist China.
To understand China’s influence campaigns on foreign soil, one has to get familiar with a secretive Chinese government agency, the United Front Work Department (UFWD), or United Front. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established UFWD in the 1930s, aiming to recruit famous intellectuals, writers, teachers, students, publishers, and business leaders who were not necessarily Communists.
Influencing the Influencers
The UFWD’s overseas influence campaigns rely on various methods, including establishing Confucius Institutes and controlling Chinese Students and Scholars Associations on college campuses in the west. But one of its most effective methods is to cultivate politicians, prominent businesspeople, and well-known intellectuals in the west as “friends of China.”John Kerry and Henry Kissinger Connections
Isaac Stone Fish, a visiting fellow at the Atlantic Council and author of “America Second,” recently wrote that one of the most influential “friends of China” the UFWD has painstakingly cultivated is Henry Kissinger, former national security advisor and secretary of the State under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. Even though he retired from his government post long ago, whenever Kissinger traveled to China, he was always granted an audience with China’s top leader.Wall Street Influence
In addition to prominent politicians and their families, foreign business elites are also targets of UFWD’s foreign influence campaign. Former Attorney General William Barr criticized American businesses from tech companies to Hollywood for becoming “pawns of Chinese influence.” Probably no other sector has been more influenced by Beijing than Wall Street.A China sovereign wealth fund, China Investment Corp (CIC), invested $3 billion in funding for Blackstone Group’s initial public offering in 2007. The Chinese government approved BlackRock, another Wall Street firm, to start a private-fund business in China in 2017.
~Snip~
One way to address China’s overseas influence campaign is to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), requiring “those acting as the agents of foreign principals to publicly disclose that relationship and their political or other similar activities by registering with the Justice Department.” But doing so may upset some very rich and famous American elites. Therefore, whether the Biden administration’s Department of Justice has the political will to do so remains to be seen.
Commentary:
The Email evidence uncovered by Hunter Biden's untimely need to repair his laptop computers show Joe Biden was i
Interesting how Trump was hounded for more than 4 years, impeached twice and cheated out of a second term over a made up non crime.
Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrats relentlessly attacked him, his family including his then 10 yr. old son.
While crack head addicted, Hunter was peddling his father Joe's influence, as found in his own words, “for enough money to take care of the family for 30 years”,
Oddly, beside the Quisling MSM telling us this is all Russian disinformation, we have 51 former intelligence Agency officials mimicking the same tune.
These are the same officials who never whispered that the HRC Campaign was behind the Russian collusion lie as a smear on Trump and diversion from her own violations despite email evidence showing they warned the FBI.
Each were well aware that foreign governments were using Hunter to corrupt Biden and US policy. Een Biden himself openly bragged about his extorting of Poroshenko.
