The corrupt Ukrainian oil/gas firm Burisma tried in 2018 to pursue a deal to export grain from Ukraine to China, and among those who participated in the effort was reportedly none other than Hunter Biden, the crack-smoking son of U.S. President Joe Biden.
This is known thanks to a newly uncovered document from Biden’s notorious laptop that was published on Wednesday by the New York Post.
Hunter and seven other Burisma board members specifically signed their names to a document authorizing their adviser, Vadym Pozharskyi, to evidently represent them in negotiating a deal with “Chinese Potential Shareholders” regarding some project known as the “Sino Ukraine Silk Road Grain Port.”
“WHEREAS the Company is interested in the development of China-Ukrainian relationships and considers possible cooperation with Chinese companies on the project ‘Sino Ukraine Silk Road Grain Port,'” the document reads.
It continues: “IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1. THAT the Company shall authorize Mr. Vadym Pozharskyi, Citizen of Ukraine, holder of Ukrainian passport FE 391491, issued on 18/04/2016 to represent with all Chinese Potential Shareholders for development, negotiation and contracting issues as well as operation management of the project ‘Sino Ukraine Silk Road Grain Port.'”
“There is no further mention of the project on Hunter’s laptop — and it wasn’t immediately clear if the grain was ever shipped,” the Post notes.
What’s known is that Pozharskyi has direct ties to President Biden.
“Pozharskyi, the adviser referenced in the China-Ukraine grain project, is the same operative who sent Hunter an email thanking him for introducing him to then Vice-President Biden in Washington in April 2015,” according to the Post.
“Additional documents uncovered from the laptop show that Pozharskyi had been invited to a dinner [at Washington, D.C.’s Cafe Milano] arranged by Hunter so that Biden could meet his overseas business partners from Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan.”
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email read.
When questioned about the email in October of 2020, then-Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said it was nothing but a smear effort.
“BBC also noted that, at the time, no evidence has emerged that Biden did anything to benefit his son,” according to the International Business Times.
But when the Post later published the dinner’s guest list in June of 2021, the administration’s story changed.
“A ‘White House individual with knowledge of Joe Biden’s schedules’ later told Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler that Biden did go to Cafe Milano that night but ‘only dropped by briefly to meet with one of the guests’ and ‘there was no discussion of politics or business,'” according to the Post.
All this appears to tie in to present events because of the president’s alleged softness toward China.
Why has Biden been pushing extremely hard to defend Ukraine but is doing the opposite for Taiwan? It’s possible he has some policy reasons for his diverging stances (which he hasn’t articulated) but the far more likely explanation is that Ukraine and China have dirt on him. https://t.co/gLc6kHl1VL

Last month the president reportedly urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to cancel her trip this week to Taiwan. With the trip now over, he’s now reportedly lobbying Congress to not pass a bill that would designate Taiwan a major non-NATO ally.
“The Biden administration considers the legislation counterproductive and that it would interfere with the decades-old approach of ‘strategic ambiguity’ about whether the US military would defend Taiwan against Communist forces,” according to Bloomberg.
The administration’s lack of support for Taiwan has provoked massive criticism, in addition to accusations of corruption.
Look:
Among the concerns voiced by team Biden is that designating Taiwan as a “major non-NATO ally” would affect its policy of “strategic ambiguity.” Yet the US has been treating Taiwan as such since the George W. Bush administration –– the bill would formalize that designation 2/n

In its continued displays of weakness and amateurism in the face of an ever-more aggressive China, the Biden administration is putting American interests –– and, one could argue, the post-War order –– at risk. The administration has some explaining to do. 3/3

DO NOT CARE for Nancy Pelosi yet respect her for flying to Taiwan. She has been Taiwans advocate for years. Unlike Joe and Hunter Biden who are Communists Chinas best trading partners. Need more leaders like Pelosi not more Biden’s.

What could possibly be the reason for Joe Biden to support Communist China over free Taiwan?

Note that the president has also been selling America’s oil reserves to China.
