A key Biden family associate revealed new details Friday about Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in foreign business relationships —saying the future president met in 2017 with the leader of a Chinese government-linked company that paid millions to his son Hunter Biden and brother James Biden.
Rob Walker signaled in a prepared opening statement that he intended to claim that Biden, 81, did nothing wrong in connection to the overseas ventures of his relatives, only to provide stunning new evidence, The Post has learned.
Walker testified in his deposition as part of the House impeachment inquiry into the president that shortly after Joe Biden left office as vice president, he attended a meeting that included about 10 people involved with CEFC China Energy — including the firm’s chairman, Ye Jianming, a source familiar with Walker’s testimony said.
The encounter at DC’s ritzy Four Seasons hotel was previously described by Walker — without naming Ye as a participant — in an FBI interview that was released by the House Ways and Means Committee.

The Chinese oil tycoon who tried to buy a $9bn stake in Rosneft, the Russian energy company, has been implicated in financial crimes involving a former provincial Communist party boss and the ex-chairman of China’s largest development bank.
The disappearance in March of Ye Jianming, founder of CEFC China Energy, has been one of the country’s biggest corporate mysteries this year.
Chinese authorities have yet to comment on Mr Ye’s detention, which was indirectly confirmed by Czech officials who said officials in Shanghai had accused him of unspecified legal violations.
Sen. Joni Ernst and Rep. Mike Gallagher are demanding the Defense Department’s inspector general probe more than $50 million in defense grants to Chinese pandemic research institutions — including those based in Wuhan, the city where COVID-19 emerged in 2019.
“A comprehensive review of these matters is crucial for identifying potential national security threats that could result either from Pentagon procurement of technology from Chinese companies or dangerous experiments being conducted in foreign laboratories with substandard safety conditions,” Ernst (R-Iowa) and Gallagher (R-Wis.) wrote in a Thursday letter to Pentagon watchdog Robert Storch.
The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, which passed last month, included an amendment from the lawmakers that directed the IG’s office to review Pentagon funding of risky research on pathogens of pandemic potential or “chimeric versions” of viruses in foreign nations over the past decade.
“Tens of millions of Department of Defense dollars have been given to our enemies. This is not just a massive accounting error, but a waste of taxpayer dollars and a threat to our national security,” Gallagher told The Post.
China could produce a “coronavirus bioweapon” as well as deploy robots that are controlled by devices implanted into human brains in future warfare against the United States, according to a provocative new report by researchers.
The report, titled “Plagues, Cyborgs, and Supersoldiers: The Human Domain of War Research,” lays out several scenarios of possible future conflict.
The existence of the report was first written about by independent journalist Lee Fang.
“We see a complex, high-threat landscape emerging where future wars are fought with humans controlling hyper-sophisticated machines with their thoughts,” wrote experts at Acquisition and Technology Policy Program of the RAND National Security Research Division.
The researchers warned that American troops could be victimized in future wars by “synthetically generated, genomically targeted plagues.”
A British pianist and YouTuber has been accosted by a furious Chinese TV crew who demanded he delete video showing their faces, despite being filmed in a public place.
It's only a matter of months I believe before China closes off all contact with the world as it closes it's boarders to the world,

Yes, there might have been a small fire..... but look at the structure.... they have been designed to be almost fire proof.
how to stop a laser from starting a fire
A quick google search will show you a myriad of lasers with a power output of 1 Watt, this is a class 4 laser and can start a fire. Now just imagine the damage it could do to your skin or worse, your eyes. It is quite a scary thought to think that these lasers can be bought online by anyone. My supervisor actually bought some laser pointers online that were stated to be less powerful than they actually were. He ran some power tests on them and found that they were class 3 lasers! They could burn through paper and pop balloons, so always be careful when purchasing laser pointers online.
