Joe Biden’s big diplomatic problem with China just got much, much worse. The Imperial Palace suddenly backtracked. After sitting back long enough to let the big spy balloon do its job, then shooting down anything that drifted into our airspace, they’re now trying to call it all accidental. That makes The Hill wonder if Xi Jinping does have Joe in his pocket after all. It’s certainly starting to look that way.
China benefits from confusion
The Hill took notice of the latest CNN reporting on the current diplomatic “situation” with China. “U.S. intelligence officials are assessing the possibility that the suspected Chinese spy balloon was not deliberately maneuvered into the continental U.S. by the Chinese government and are examining whether it was diverted off course by strong winds.” They aren’t buying it.
“Now we are expected to believe that perhaps Beijing didn’t actually mean to send the huge spy craft hovering for several days over our sensitive military installations, but somehow it ended up there by accident?”
Those who follow such things closely are suggesting that, if so, it was an extremely well planned “accident.” The Hill sees the move as a weak attempt by the Biden regime “to divert attention from its embarrassing handling of China’s recent incursion into our air space.”

That’s a tricky way to go, they warn. It looks suspiciously like “this is meant to curry favor with Xi Jinping by burying China’s misbehavior.” If that turns out to be true, they write, “the public will be outraged.” You bet they will.
It’s highly unusual to see The Hill talking about Democrat spin in a bad way. “Such an attempt to spin recent events would further inflame those who are already concerned.”
What we’re already concerned about is Joe Biden’s “entanglements with China.” Conservatives also suspect Joe “is compromised by his family’s business activities in that country.”
Plenty of support evidence
The Hill continues their ruthless attack on Joe Biden’s alleged influence peddling activities. The family apparently had a real cozy relationship with China. There is plenty of evidence they note, “to support those suspicions.” They read the Washington Post, too.
More than a year ago, the Post reported that “Over the course of 14 months, the Chinese energy conglomerate [CEFC] and its executives paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by Hunter Biden and his uncle.” The uncle in question would be James Biden. Joe’s other brother, Frank Biden, has recently been named in connection with ongoing investigations.
China was well aware that Patrick Ho handed Hunter Biden a “$1 million retainer” for legal representation. Ho “would later be charged in the United States in connection with a multimillion-dollar scheme to bribe leaders from Chad and Uganda.”

There isn’t any hard evidence, yet, of Joe’s direct involvement but “others, including Hunter’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski, have alleged that the president was involved.”
The big balloon fiasco has alarm bells ringing that China might have enough dirt on Joe to twist his arm. They could release “something on Joe Biden that would disprove his assertion that he knew nothing about his son’s business affairs.” The Hill is now on “high alert for evidence that Biden is acting to appease Beijing rather than protect the U.S.”
That delay in shooting down an obvious spy craft “seemed to provide just such confirmation.” That’s not the first big red flag, either. Biden decided a year ago to end the China Initiative. That was “a program under which the Department of Justice (DOJ) focused on rooting out espionage by Chinese scientists and academics.” We know now that every one of our universities and research labs has been infested with them, for far too long.
