President Joe Biden bragged on Tuesday about sharing a “great deal of time” with Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, the head of the Chinese Communist Party, which has tentacles throughout Biden family business deals.
While speaking at the White House, Biden recalled he was on the Tibetan Plateau with Xi, with whom he “spent a great deal of time with him one-on-one” when he “was vice president and since then.”It is unclear if Joe Biden suggested he met one-on-one with Xi during his time as a private citizen between 2017 and 2020 or if he referred to time spent with Xi during his presidency.
The White House did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Joe Biden claimed in June he “met alone” with Xi for more than 68 hours while he was vice president. “I met alone with him, just he and I, along with a simultaneous interpreter, 68 times, 68 hours, 68 times — more than 68 hours — by the way, I turned in all my notes,” he said.
During his vice presidency, Joe Biden took 411 trips to China. One of the 411 trips was in 2013 to Beijing, China, under the “trappings” of a family vacation. Ten days after the visit to China, Hunter Biden secured a ten percent interest in BHR Partners, a Chinese state-backed investment fund via the Bank of China, a state-owned bank.
The fund remains active, with billions invested around the globe.
Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Kevin Morris, controls Hunter’s stake in BHR Partners, Breitbart News exclusively reported in April. In 2017, BHR Partners co-founder Devon Archer conveyed his stake in BHR Partners to his wife.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden in late September to compel their personal and business bank records to further investigate Joe Biden’s ties to his family’s foreign deals. He also issued bank subpoenas.On Friday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) exclusively told Breitbart News that House investigators possess Hunter and James Biden’s financial statements.
A person with knowledge of the investigation told Breitbart News that banks are cooperating with Comer’s investigation.
