The Biden family connection to Chinese investment partnership runs through Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Yang Jiechi currently serving in the Politburo and as the Director of the Office of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China. #Biden#China
Yang served extensively at the Chinese embassy in Washington meeting with Senator Biden regularly. The Hunter Biden investment partnership was managed through Ministry of Foreign Affairs institutions designed to garner influence with foreign leaders during Yang’s tenure as FM.
Chinese financial industry sources indicate that the partnership is believed to have a direct line to the Politburo. Background research supports this assertion.
The primary broker arranging the Bohai Harvest Rosemont investment partnership Michael Lin is a Taiwanese national living in Hong Kong who has worked for key Chinese state firms known to engage in illicit technology transfer as head of their international investments.
During his time running Thornton, Mr. Lin worked primarily for Chinese state institutions under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Chinese state-owned enterprises. Separate national intelligence agencies have confirmed that Michael Lin is person of interest for his work in China.
The BHR investment partnership is entirely a state managed operation. Bohai is a state owned entity and the BHR partnership is under Bank of a China a major state owned bank.
The investment partnerships and clients are primarily state owned and engage in financial transactions that have little reason other than to funnel revenue and assets to the BHR partnership. The BHR investment partnership has no reason for existence other than political payoff.
Hunter Biden remains invested in the BHR investment partnership holding 10% through a Washington DC based holding company.
His visits to China meeting with state owned companies that would become investors began prior to his father’s election in 2008 and continued regularly even likely meeting the Ukrainian prime minister and his entourage during one trip to Beijing.
Given the Chinese state client and state backed investment nature of the fund, it is difficult to see what Hunter Biden provides to the investment partnership.
Chris Heinz and his step father Secretary of State John Kerry appear to have clear ethical problems with Chinese investment. Evidence indicates that Kerry was invested in, directly or indirectly, via Kerry Heinz family trusts in the businesses of his step son Chris Heinz.
During his tenure as the Sect of State, his step son Heinz was selling assets to China in which he had a direct or indirect financial stake through family trust vehicles and investing in a Chinese state owned partnership investment firm. This seems to present clear ethical prblms
Based upon current state assets under management of $6.5 billion and industry standard fees and conservative estimates for capital appreciation, the Hunter Biden stake in BHR would likely be worth at least $50 million USD.
Based upon an original investment of $400,000 this would represent a gain of 12,400% from 2013 to 2020. Given the circumstances, this seems problematic on many levels.
This is in brief of intelligence dossier on Biden & his links to China. The source of dossier is private & confidential. Thus Americans have a clear choice either too elect @realDonaldTrump make #AmericaFirst or vote sleepy Joe Biden making it #ChinaFirst !!
On September 5 2007, associates of Hunter established Thornton, which acted as a government relations
consultancy in the US and China. Thorton Group LLC along with American NGO SLFF worked & met with National People’s Congress of PRC in October 2011 as part of Delegation.
Just added this to make it clear :)

The Gold thing comes out of FATF Report published in July 2015 on the growing use of gold in place of cash & traditional financial markets as a method for laundering funds as regulators & law enforcement measures have become more successful in the traditional financial markets.
In 2023 in Compliance with FATF mandates Govt issues fresh guidelines for Anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, and combating proliferation financing guidelines for dealers in precious metals and precious stones, 2023 qua Bullion & Diamond Trade.
As per the provisions of the PMLA, all designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs), which include dealers in precious metals and precious stones (DNMS) who are the Reporting Entities (REs),
Iran is no pushover. The IRGC and its paramilitary wing of Shia Militias took control of Iraq & Syria with help of Hezbollah, Assad & Russia eliminated ISIS & stamped down Al Nusra in Syria and the Free Syrian Army propped up by Gulf Arab States, US & Turkey.
It has militias in Yemen like Houthi’s having ballistic missiles of 1000Km + targets. Gave handful to UAE-Saudi coalition in Yemen. Blocking and targeting ships in Red Sea. Hezbollah has big network in South & Central America in drug running with drug cartels, arms supplies.
Iran now has developed Robust MIC which is also helping Russia in Ukraine with Drone capabilities, Missile Technologies and Cyber Warfare divisions. Its nuclear program is very close to achieving the Nuclear Bomb now. Has agreements with China & aiming one with Moscow.
Despite Bush considering Iran as part of Axis of Evil it had a clear policy of not targeting Iranian Generals and Personals. But then Mossad broke the understanding rather went a step further in 2007-08 recruiting Jandullah terrorist in Balochistan to target Iran.
Mossad conducted False Flag operations inside Iran via Balochistan recruiting Terrorist groups to target Iran posing as CIA agents. When Washington DC got to know of it, the Bush Administration went ballistic on activities of Mossad. CIA memos of 2007-08 reveal.
The memos detail CIA field
reports saying that Israel’s recruiting activities occurred under the nose of
U.S. intelligence officers, most notably in London, the capital of one of
Israel’s ostensible allies, where Mossad officers posing as CIA operatives met
Jundallah officials.
The biggest fallout of this election is that corruption will no longer remain an issue and that enforcement agencies like ED/CBI have lost their credibility in the eyes of public with gross misuse of the same. My hope is that PMLA is reviewed but given 2022 judgement of SC, review is unlikely to muster through.
The only hope that a future Government will someday modify the law. The PMLA was enacted pursuant to UN resolutions of 1988 & 1990 to deals with proceeds of crime primarily from Drug Trafficking and offences destabilise the economic security.
After the FATF Review in 2009, it recommended stringent enforcement of money laundering laws however what we did was move Amendments in 2009, 2012 & 2015 when a whole list offences were added to the schedule of it. Taking PMLA far away from the purposes it was meant to be.
Under the original PMLA, 2002, the list of “scheduled offences” included provisions from 6 legislations – (i) IPC, 1860; (ii) NDPS Act, 1985; (iii) Arms Act, 1959; (iv) Wildlife Protection Act, 1972; (v) Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 and (vi) Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. Through the Prevention of Money Laundering (Amendment) Act, 2012 (‘2012 Amendment’) the original schedule was substituted and replaced with a fresh schedule – that included provisions from 28 legislations.
In 2015, Section 51 of the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015 (offence of wilful attempt to evade any tax, penalty or interest) was added as a scheduled offence. The 2018 Amendment made Section 447 of the Companies Act, 2013 (punishment for fraud) a “scheduled offence” under the PMLA.
1) The distributors earned 581 crores in 10 months of the policy
2) One Time License Fee 7 crores from 14 distributors
3) The Profit margins were increased from 5 to 12%
4) The SC in Manish Sisodia Judgement states:
“That 7% extra commission earned by the wholesale distributors of 338 crores constitutes as an offence under Section 7 of Prevention Of Corruption Act. These figures can not be disputed and the new excise policy was meant to give windfall gains to select few distributors who in turn agreed to give kickbacks and bribes” (Para 24 & 25)
In the PMLA Case by ED
The SC held in Sisodia Case:
1) 220 Crores paid as bribe to Sisodia is not made out by CBI in Chargesheet thus difficult to accept it as proceed of Crime under PMLA (Para 10)
2) SC alleged that whether 100 crore was actually paid by the liquor group is matter of debate and that 45 crores was transferred through Hawala for GOA campaign by AAP. However Sisodia can be vicariously liable under Section 70 cannot be alleged or sustained.
3) Prima Facie is there is lack of clarity on the involvement of Sisoda for transfer of 45 crores to Goa by AAP.
4) These allegations are subject of Trial by ED which should be done with in 6-8 months.
My sense:
A) Money laundering is a difficult crime to prove in lieu of Section 3 of PMLA and which is why Agency is given excessive powers under Section 24 (Presumption of Guilt), 19 (Power to Arrest), 50 (production statements, confessions etc) & Section 70 (Juristic Entities) with some safeguards and also making bail more difficult under Section 45.
B) In Pankaj Bansal v. Union of India (2023) the SC has held that failure of individuals to respond to the questions put to them by the ED would not be sufficient in itself for the Investigating Officer to opine that they were liable to be arrested under Section 19, as that provision specifically requires him to find reason to believe that they were guilty of an offence under the Act of 2002.
**Mere non-cooperation of a witness in response to the summons issued under Section 50 of the Act of 2002 would not be enough to render him/her liable to be arrested under Section 19.** The SC held
In April 1974" as a worldwide drought and the transformation of American farm policy was in full gear, Nixon's Secretary of State and National Security Adviser, Henry A. Kissinger, sent out a classified memo to select cabinet officials, including the Secretary of Defense" the Secretary of Agriculture, the Deputy Secretary of State and the CIA Director.
The title of the top secret memo was “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security and Overseas Interests”. The memo , dealt with food policy, population growth and strategic raw materials. It had been commissioned by Nixon on the recommendation of John D. Rockefeller III. The secret project came to be called in Washington bureaucratic shorthand, NSSM 200, or National Security Study Memorandum 200
It was deemed that, should it ever be publicized or leaked, NSSM 200 would be explosive. It was kept secret for almost 15 years until private legal action by organizations associated with the Catholic Church finally forced its declassification in 1989.
The US decision to draft the policy came after the 1974 UN Population Conference in Bucharest, Romania, at which the UN failed to adopt the US position.
