It would be naive to assume that only China is engaged in such operations. Why did the entire U.S. media after 9/11 turn on a dime and decide that jihad was not the real problem, “Islamophobia” was?
“Hunter Biden’s Laptops Scandal Exposes How Communist Influence Operations Work,” by Helen Raleigh, The Federalist, April 15, 2022 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop revealed much information, including Hunter’s shady business dealings in Ukraine and China, raising questions about the extent to which President Biden was involved in his son’s business activities. This ongoing scandal lifted the curtain of foreign governments’ covert influence campaigns in the United States. No government has conducted such influence campaigns more effectively than Communist China.
To understand China’s influence campaigns on foreign soil, one has to get familiar with a secretive Chinese government agency, the United Front Work Department (UFWD), or United Front. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established UFWD in the 1930s, aiming to recruit famous intellectuals, writers, teachers, students, publishers, and business leaders who were not necessarily Communists.
These recruits promoted the CCP’s agenda, influenced public opinion in favor of the CCP in territory ruled by the Nationalist Party, and helped the CCP secure the weapons, medicine, and other resources to overthrow the Nationalist-led government. Then-CCP leader Mao Zedong called the United Front a “magic weapon” for the CCP.
When Xi Jinping came to power in late 2012, he greatly expanded the UFWD and elevated the UFWD’s status by having a politburo member, Ms. Sun Chunlan, head the UFWD. Today, the UFWD’s headquarters in Beijing is located in an unmarked but heavily guarded building next to the CCP’s leadership compound. This location says the highest power in the nation directly endorses its mission and strategy.
UFWD workers are assigned to many government branches inside and outside China, including almost all Chinese embassies, which now include staff formally working with United Front. The UFWD is tasked with helping the CCP aggressively and yet covertly dictate its messages and narratives about China. UFWD’s goal is to gather information and either win over or co-opt support for the CCP. It is to attack and neutralize potential dissent and opposition inside and outside China….

Peter Schweizer calls it ‘corruption by proxy’. He published a book detailing this in 2018, so apparently it wasn’t all that covert. Public officials might have to file financial disclosure forms but deals that go through their family members do not have to be disclosed. The corruption that exists in political families such as Clinton, Biden, McConnell, etc. was known long before Hunter Biden dropped his laptop at that computer repair shop. Nancy Pelosi was originally against all these free trade agreements until her husband started making money in China. Then it was one world!!!

I just started reading Schweizer’s latest, “Red Handed”. Even more detail on the Bidens dealings with China. It’s even scarier than I thought.
Excellent read.
Kesselman says
The Globalist Liberal Utopian Elitists early on saw the temptation and opportunities inscribed in a globalist New World Order. Once they opened up to China the Chinese weren’t slow to show their “gratitude” to the selected Western echelons. As genuine fascists, they know and appreciate human weaknesses. And they are not shy to verbalize their view.
Ray Jarman says
The best book about how a misguided American could become a Communist is by Whittaker Chambers, an autobiography. He understands the vitiates of Communism by watching Stalin sign the famous non-aggression treaty with Hitler and by 1936, he is working to destroy the Soviet underground here in America and especially of Alger Hiss who was sent to prison for ten years based in large part on Chambers’ testimony and documents. The one incident that he wrote so beautifully, was about realizing that God exists as he could not explain how his child’s ears were so perfect in any other way.
The point is that by reading this book, one can visualize the depravity of Hunter Biden and his father, the unelected president who should join his son and brother in a prison cell. It would be like Jean Paul Sartre’s version of Hell.

Yeah, Hunter Biden is a dirt-bag, but his father is the real danger in our time. Take a look at these clips from Easter at the White House.. My God, he is supposed to be the leader of the free world. BTW, many of the comments are interesting and on point. Much trouble ahead.

Yes–I just saw this clip. It would be funny if it were not so sad.

It’s no wonder that Hunter Biden is such a terribly corrupt mess .So much so the Hunter by his actions and character have proven valid that the proverb in relation to his father, creepy old Joe , that “The fruits doesn’t fall that far from the tree.”
In addition the horrendously corrupt Hunter Biden being the son of vote stealing horrible Joe Biden likewise must show true the saying “He’s a chip off the old block.”
Moreover, Hunter Biden is so hideous in character and behavior further proves the other saying to be true . Which is “Like father, like son.”
Last a somewhat new Dr. Seuss type of poem about Joe Biden alone with his drug ridden “boy” Hunter.
So here it is … “I do not like your mental haze, I do not like your leftist ways, I do not like your son on blow, I do not like you Mr Joe.”

Hunter Biden’s laptop exposes foreign governments’ covert influence campaigns in the US
………….
Not surprised.
Jim says
It is also fun to compare the campaign ads and reports in the mainstream press praising how good Biden is with the revelations from the laptop and other information on the Bidens. How could such a corrupt son have a father who was as good as the ads and MSM reports portray Joe to be?
OLD GUY says
America is being sold out by greedy politicians and their families. Biden’s are just at the top of the list.
