Writing in the book, Schweizer noted, “The hazard of a Chinese businessman with close ties to the top ranks of Beijing’s spy agency conducting financial transactions with the son of the U.S. vice president cannot be overstated. How this did not set off national security or ethics alarm bells in Washington is a wonder in itself.”
Linking the Biden family to the investment fund Bohai Harvest RST (BHR) and how Hunter was wired $5 million to his business Burnham from the chairman of Harvest Fund Management and Harvest Global Investments, Zhao Xuejun, Schweizer wrote, “There is no one more powerful in the world of Chinese intelligence. The seductive and lucrative deal that Hunter was now putting into place, creating BHR, involved two financiers with ties to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, a billion-dollar private equity deal that we first exposed in Secret Empires. What we now know are the roles played by the spy-connected ‘Super Chairman’ and Zhao.”
