False. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/oct/02/donald-trumps-accusations-about-hunter-biden-and-c/ https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/oct/02... As a rule of thumb: if your source is New York Post, you should try looking elsewhere.

  > Mesires said that, in any case, the $1.5 billion amount was never reached. The investment fund raised about $4.2 million "from various sources," Mesires said, without citing further detail. That would be a fraction of what Trump said: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/oct/02/donald-trumps-accusations-about-hunter-biden-and-c/ https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2019/oct/02... > The company website in 2016 reported that Bohai Capital managed the 20 Billion RMB ($2.8 billion) fund. [..] business registration filings in China list Hunter Biden and James Bulger as key officials at Bohai Harvest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BHR_Partners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BHR_Partners So he is a 'key official' at a fund with billions of dollars of Chinese investment. But you find that claim 'false' because his lawyer states that they only raised $4.2 million, during some unspecified period of time, from unspecified sources, and explicitly declined to give any details. Being a lawyer, I'm sure his statement is technically correct. Given all the other sources, I'm also sure it's utterly misleading.

  That's by Peter Schweizer talking about his amazing book "Secret Empires" that came out in 2017. The book documents corruption on both the left and the right and has over 100 pages of citations. It documents far beyond any doubt massive corruption and treason. The Chinese deal was having Kerry approve a deal where China got access to restricted US military technology. Articles documenting the Biden kid's shady "equity fund", which is partially owned by the Chinese government, have been ongoing for many years in a variety of media. They were particularly popular in 2015-16 when the media was trashing the Bidens because they wanted Hillary to get the nomination.
