Hunter Biden may be a liability to his father’s campaign at this point, but he’s been an asset to foreign interests for years.
In addition to his well-known involvement with the Ukrainian firm Burisma, the son of the former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate has had many business dealings in China — dealings that have strengthened the communist regime at America’s expense.
Speaking to Maria Bartiromo of Fox News’ Sunday Morning Features, Peter Schweizer, author of the corruption-revealing books Clinton Cash and Profiles in Corruption, said that the story the media has not covered is “about Hunter Biden participating in Chinese efforts to acquire western technology.”
“Let me ask you about [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] and the approval that a foreigner needs in order to do an acquisition in the United States,” Bartiromo asked.
“That’s one of the things that you’ve reported on that these Chinese companies needed, right? They wanted the influence of Joe Biden so that they could get approval to acquire companies. This is what Donald Trump has been trying to put an end to, China coming into the U.S., buying up Silicon Valley and forcing the transfer of technology, giving the Chinese Communist Party a leg up on American technology.”
Schweizer replied that Hunter Biden played a crucial role in helping at least one Chinese firm acquire an American technology company.
“You’re exactly right, Maria, and this is a big part, I think, of the missed story,” he said. “This is not just a story about Hunter Biden and the family getting wealthy. It’s about Hunter Biden participating in Chinese efforts to acquire western technology. In particular, for example, there’s a company called Henniges out of Michigan that produces dual-use technologies that have both military and civilian application, and they are anti-vibration technologies.
