This has an insidious effect on shaping the programs it produces…’ (Ben Sellers, Liberty Headlines) It comes as no surprise that the Chinese government declined President Donald Trump’s call last October to investigate the Bidens. After all, the communist country already was heavily investing in the Bidens. But the sweetheart deal that then-Vice President Joe Biden helped his son Hunter to broker with Chinese state investors in the BHR Equity Investment firm might just be the tip of the iceberg, according to the National Legal and Policy Center. On Wednesday, the conservative watchdog filed a complaint with the Department of Education requesting a probe into one of the presidential hopeful’s pet projects, a policy institute at the University of Pennsylvania called the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. “It is apparent that the Biden Center is beholden to China for its operations,” said NLPC Chair Peter Flaherty. “This has an insidious [e]ffect on shaping the programs it produces.” The Penn Biden Center is one of three such Biden-backed entities that have refused to disclose their funding sources, reported the Washington Free Beacon. Spokesman Stephen MacCarthy declined to respond to the newspaper’s requests for more details about the center’s funding, deferring to his “colleagues at [the] main university.” But the Free Beacon reported that UPenn saw a threefold spike overall in foreign donations—with China being the largest source— ever since the center’s soft opening in March 2017. “These multi-million dollar donations from China are bad enough,” said NLPC counsel Paul Kamenar, “but the flagrant reporting violations over the years are simply outrageous.” The Ivy League school relied in large part on anonymous donors—which policy analysts say is a common Chinese practice for deceptively covering their tracks. “Anonymous giving to universities is an easy tactic the Chinese Communist Party can use to further its pernicious influence in American universities,” Michael Sobolik, an Indo-Pacific studies fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council, told the Free Beacon. At other times, however, these foreign investors appear to be hiding in plain sight. Such was the case with a Jan. 31 forum, the 2020 Penn China Research Symposium, which featured opening remarks from Chinese consul general Huang Ping. Coincidentally, it occurred on the same day that Trump banned most travel to and from China as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. It was later revealed that China had covered up the scale of the pandemic, which it was aware of at the time, and it continues to defy calls for transparency surrounding the virus’s origin, as well as its realistic infection rates. Biden has nominally tried to spin Trump’s earlier signing of a trade agreement as a liability, claiming the president had “rolled over for the Chinese” while attempting to hammer him for his coronavirus response. twitt er.com/JoeBiden/status/1251582266251243525 Poster Comment: It is not just Ukraine and Burisma. Now it seems that Creepy Joe has stepped in it with his son Hunter and the Chinese. This one just might be the straw that breaks the camel's back. ;) Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
