Cobalt mines are pivotal to China’s world dominance in making batteries for those electric vehicles the Build Back Better Plan and Democrats are effectively hoisting on the American people through U.S. taxpayer dollars and government subsidies.

 

Unwinding the twisting takes of moves, the Times reported Biden was a founding board member of BHR, which is the Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Company. It started up in 2013 while Joe Biden was vice president in former President Barack Obama’s White House.

 

Three Americans including Hunter Biden controlled 30 percent of BHR, while the rest is owned or controlled by Chinese investors, including Bank of China, the Times reported from Chinese regulators’ records.

 

BHR helped finance an Australian coal-mining company controlled by a Chinese state-owned firm, and also assisted a subsidiary of a Chinese defense conglomerate in buying a Michigan auto parts maker.

 

But one of the most lucrative investments was the 2016 purchase and later sale of CATL, a Chinese company that has become a world leader in making electric vehicle batteries. That was Joe Biden’s last year as Obama’s vice president.

 

That same year, Chinese mining company China Molybdenum also paid $2.65 billion to buy Tenke Fungurume, a cobalt and copper mine from American company Freeport-McMoRan. To complete that deal, China Molybdenum sought a partner to buy out a minority stakeholder in the mine, Lundin Mining of Canada.

 

Hunter Biden’s BHR did so for China Molybdenum with $1.14 billion — which came entirely from Chinese state-backed companies — signing an add-on agreement that allowed China Molybdenum to buy BHR’s share, according to the Times.

 

China Molybdenum did so in 2019 when Hunter Biden controlled 10 percent of the firm through Skaneateles LLC, a company based in Washington, D.C., according to the report.
