Prof: China has friend in Bidens

- Emily Jacobs

A recently recorded lecture showing a Chinese Communist Party expert explaining how Beijing had “people at the top of America’s core inner circle” has found its way onto the Internet in the United States after being censored in China.

The lecture, given last month by Di Dongsheng (above), vice dean of the School of Internatio­nal Relations at Renmin University, also references President-elect Joe Biden’s son Hunter and his business dealings in China.

Speaking about what was pushing the Chinese to accelerate the reopening of their financial sectors, Di made the revelation that Beijing had a rarely discussed advantage in working with the US prior to the Trump administra­tion.

“Why did China and the US used to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 and 2016?” Di asked before answering the question himself.

“I’m going to throw out something maybe a little bit explosive here. It’s just because we have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence,” the political scientist said.

Di went on to suggest that Hunter Biden received help from the Chinese in his business efforts.

“Trump has been saying that Biden’s son has some sort of global foundation. Have you noticed that? Who helped [Hunter] build the foundation­s? Got it? There are a lot of deals inside all these,” Di said.

Director of National Intelligen­ce John Ratcliffe reacted to the video by saying, “China is our greatest threat — and it’s not even close.”
