Biden Center Received More than $50 Million From China After Campaign Announcement
Fox News has reported another article to add to the pile of Joe Biden’s shady dealings with
foreign superpowers for personal gain. We know about Hunter Biden leveraging his father’s
name for special treatment in China and the Ukraine.
Americans remember Biden using Air Force 2 as his personal Brinks Truck, bringing Hunter
along to close personal deals on taxpayer fuel and resources. What many may not know about
is the Biden Center that operates out of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn).
Interestingly enough, President Joe Biden has nominated the China-Linked President of the
University of Pennsylvania to be the next U.S. ambassador to Germany.
Funny how that keeps happening.
Amy Gutmann is the Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science and
was praised by Fortune in 2018 as one of the -World’s 50 Greatest Leaders- according to the
university. And she’s been president of UPenn since 2004.
Is nominating the president of a university you have a vested interest in shady? Most people
would say yes. However this is not the most egregious thing about Biden’s relationship with
UPenn and the Biden Center.
It turns out that the Biden Center has been largely paid for by donations from China.
Yes, the same China that has been getting a free pass ever since he’s gotten into office.
Don’t let the PR statements and threats Biden’s been making against China fool you.
Behind the tough talk, China’s been eating our lunch on Biden’s dime.
But between 2013 and last year, the university allegedly received tens of millions in
undisclosed donations from China, according to the National Legal and Policy Center, a
conservative-leaning public ethics group. And the dollar totals dramatically increased
after the school opened its Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement.
The NLPC filed a complaint against UPenn last year, alleging $22 million in ANONYMOUS
donations from the country for the Biden Center and $70 million from China in total.
“The University of Pennsylvania has stonewalled all inquiries into the identities of the
Chinese donors who made $22 million anonymous donations to the university,” NLPC Chairman
Peter Flaherty told Fox News on Saturday. “We think it’s time for her (Dr. Gutmann) to answer
the question and identify the donors.”
Some may say that this is merely a coincidence. After all, the University of PA is a
prestigous school, I’m sure many people from China want their kids to get in and maybe
these donations have something to do with that.
Here’s the problem with that assumption. It turns out that Chinese donations for the Biden
Center increased by nearly 400% the same year he announced his bid for President. The Biden
Center opened in March 2017, about a year before Biden announced his 2020 presidential
campaign.
The complaint charges that in 2017, out of a total of $7.7 million in donations from China,
$500,000 came from anonymous donors. After Biden launched his campaign in 2018, the total
jumped to $27.1 million, with anonymous donors giving $15.8 million. And in 2019, Chinese
donors gave $26.9 million to the center, $6 million anonymously.
“Academia is awash in Chinese cash,” Flaherty said. “It’s time for administrators to start
answering questions about it.”
When you pair the vast sums of money with the timing of Joe’s election campaign, it’s pretty
clear that the Chinese money wasn’t just because China cares about educating the next
generation. It seems that this was all about access to the Oval Office.
