The Chinese Entrepreneur Club (CEC), also referred to as the “richest club” in the People’s Republic of China has years of chummy history with Biden. Emails published this week by Peter Schweizer of Breitbart News and president of the Government Accountability Institute identify a clear role Hunter Biden and his business associate Devon Archer played in getting the Chinese group into the White House, first in 2011.

November of 2011, then-deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Jeff Zients hosted the Chinese group after “a colleague of Archer’s reached out to suggest there was an opportunity to gain ‘outstanding new clients” reports Breitbart. According to the email, Archer was told the CEC group was unable to secure meetings with high-ranking Obama administration officials during their November trip to D.C.

Enter Biden associate, Archer to the rescue. “Although it is unclear exactly what transpired after the emails reached Archer, only nine days later, on November 14, 2011, the CEC had secured its meeting at the Obama White House” according to Breitbart. “Administration records indicate that a delegation of 30 CEC members received a tour of the White House and met with then-Commerce Secretary John Bryson.”

That’s not all. According to members of the Chinese delegation, they also “met privately with Hunter Biden’s father, then-Vice President Joe Biden.” In 2014, Zients was appointed to lead the National Economic Council under Obama’s administration. Zients held the position until the end of Obama’s presidential term in 2017.

At the time of Zients’ meeting with the CEC, then-vice president Joe Biden was “playing a lead role in the Obama administration’s policy towards Beijing” according to Breitbart. Additionally, “just that past May, Biden had taken part in talks between the U.S. and China on how to improve ‘strategic and economic’ relations.”

“Since leaving office, Zients appears to have kept in close contact with the Bidens. In September, Biden appointed him to co-chair the presidential transition task force, which will be responsible for staffing a potential Biden White House” reports Breitbart.
