Note: All Hunter Biden quotes are in red
Other quotes in blue "ink'
MY SUMMARY:
Fox News on Wednesday reported details a $10 million deal between Hunter Biden and a Chinese businessmen linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Hunter Biden offered “best wishes from the entire Biden family” to CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming in 2017. He wanted the Chinese business partner to wire over $10 million to “properly fund and operate” a joint Biden venture.
“I hope my letter finds you well. I regret missing you on your last visit to the United States ... Please accept the best wishes from the entire Biden family as well as my partners.”
Biden noted that Tony Bobulinski, a Biden business partner, requested the $10 million dollar transfer from Ye’s associates. “I would appreciate if you will send that quickly,” Biden wrote, to fund the Biden-led firm Sinohawk in partnership with Bobulinski, who be the CEO.
Emails published by the New York Post in October show Chairman Ye outlining a $10 million annual contract for Hunter Biden for “introductions alone,” a portion to be set aside for President-elect Joe Biden, delivered through his son Hunter.

"The $10 million transfer to the joint venture was never completed. Fox News obtained an email Hunter Biden sent on June 18, 2017, to Zhao Runlong at CEFC, asking that they please "translate my letter to Chairman Ye, please extend my warmest best wishes and that I hope to see the Chairman soon." ... He added: "We are all hoping to see you here again soon, or in Shanghai."
"Biden went on to update Ye, saying that they have "concluded the establishment of SinoHawk Holdings," the Biden joint venture with CEFC, and said he looked "forward" to introducing him to his business associate Tony Bobulinski, who he wrote would "act as the CEO."
"He is a very close friend of James Gilliar and the Biden family and joined our team to focus on the execution of things as a partner," Biden wrote. "He has invested capital all over the world for some of the world’s wealthiest families."
"Biden went on to note that Bobulinski had "sent a request to Dong Gongwen [Gongwen Dong] and Director Zang for the funding of the $10 MM USD wire."
"I would appreciate if you will send that quickly so we can properly fund and operate Sinohawk," Biden wrote.
... "Fox News also obtained the response from Ye as part of an email, dated Sept. 6, 2017, from Biden business associate James Gilliar to Bobulinski. That email forwarded Ye's letter responding to Biden. The letter is dated July 10, 2017."
... "According to a September report released by the Senate Homeland Security Committee and Senate Finance Committee on their investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, Ye Jianming, Gongwen Dong and other Chinese nationals that Hunter Biden had business associations with were linked to the Chinese Communist government and the People's Liberation Army. "Those associations resulted in millions of dollars in questionable transactions/cash flow," the report stated."
... "The Biden campaign released the former vice president's tax documents and returns, which do not reflect any involvement with Chinese investments."
... "Meanwhile, on July 18, 2017, Bobulinski asked Zhao in a message whether the transfer would be "$10 MM or 2x $5MM," claiming they "asked that $10 MM be sent in 2 $5 MM tranches but @ the same time, $5 MM to savings and $5 MM to checking. That is what we prefer.""
... "According to the Senate report, though, on Aug. 8, 2017, CEFC wired nearly $5 million to the bank account for Hudson West III, a firm that Hunter Biden opened with Chinese associates. "These funds may have originated from a loan issued from the account of a company called Northern International Capital Holdings, a Hong Kong-based investment company identified at one time as a ‘substantial shareholder’ in CEFC International Limited along with Ye," the report stated. "It is unclear whether Hunter Biden was a half-owner of Hudson West III at the time."
The report also stated, "the same day the $5 million was received, and continuing through Sept. 25, 2018, Hudson West III sent request payments to Owasco, Hunter Biden’s firm." The report stated the payments were described as consulting fees and reached "$4,790,375.25 in just over a year."
... "Fox News obtained another email showing Hunter requesting keys for his new "office mates," his father, Joe Biden, Jill Biden and Jim Biden, to the general manager, Cecilia Browning, at the House of Sweden – a building in Washington, D.C., which contains multiple office suites, as well as a number of embassies. In the email, Hunter Biden also requested keys for Gongwen Dong, whom he describes as an "emissary" for Chairman Ye Jianming – the chairman of CEFC Chinese Energy Co. "I would like the office sign to reflect the following," he continued, requesting "The Biden Foundation" and "Hudson West (CEFC US).""
"Joe Biden repeatedly has denied being involved with his son’s business dealings."
MY CONCLUSION:
Let's hope there is a real investigation and Hunter Biden ends up in prison for selling access to his father, before and after Joe Biden was vice president. Joe Biden was involved -- he took a cut of the action from his son. And/or allowed his son to pay his bills. There is no evidence Joe Biden took money directly from foreigners. There is also no evidence that Hunter Biden did any meaningful work that was worth anywhere close to the tens of millions of dollars that flowed into his pockets. Sometimes no evidence he did any work at all, other than "introductions".
