President Biden Seen in Newly Uncovered Photos Meeting with Hunter’s Chinese Business Associates in China
Newly uncovered photos show President Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates in China while he served as vice president, shedding further light on their connections to top Chinese government officials and the Chinese energy firm BHR Partners.
The photos, obtained by the conservative-leaning America First Legal through a lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration, show then-Vice President Biden introducing his son to Chinese President Xi Jinping and then-Vice President Li Yuanchao. Other photos show President Biden posing with Hunter’s business associates from BHR Partners, including Jonathan Li and Ming Xue.
“These images shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials including President Xi Jinping,” America First Legal said in a press release.
The photos corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with Jonathan Li and other BHR executives during the 2013 China trip, where “Mr. Li sought—and received—access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus… a condition of Hunter Biden and his associates participating in the BHR deal.”
The photos also appear to contradict President Biden’s repeated claims that he never discussed business with his son.
In 2019, President Biden said, “I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. Period.”
However, emails obtained by Fox News show that Hunter Biden requested keys for his father and other family members to access space he planned to share with an “emissary” to the chairman of a now-bankrupt Chinese energy company.
In another email, Hunter Biden extended “best wishes from the entire Biden family” to the Chinese energy company’s chairman, urging him to “quickly” send a $10 million wire to “properly fund and operate” the Biden joint venture.
The probe is expected to continue, with America First Legal vowing to “uncover the full story of the Biden Family’s corruption.”
