Biden and the Chinese Influence

The Half Of Million Dollars Showing Why Biden Hasn’t Cracked Down On CCP Company

Once again, the Biden Administration is under fire for its ties to foreign influence. This time, it’s the Chinese tech giant Huawei and its veteran Democratic lobbyist and donor, Tony Podesta.

Tony is the brother of former White House Chief of staff John Podesta, and was formerly one of Washington's most powerful lobbyists and fundraisers.

To give you some background on John Podesta:
John David Podesta Jr. is an American political consultant who has served as Senior Advisor to President Joe Biden for clean energy innovation and implementation since September 2022. Podesta previously served as White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton from 1998 to 2001 and Counselor to President Barack Obama from 2014 to 2015. [wikipedia]

Early in Trump's term, he signed a five-year lobbying ban for administration officials and a lifetime ban on lobbying for foreign governments. But right before he left office, he lifted the ban. Then, Biden invoked a two year lobbying ban for appointees.

As part of its efforts to curry favor with American officials, Huawei – the company behind the social media platform Tik Tok – has been lobbying the White House, and it paid Podesta a whopping $500,000 for his services. This comes at a time when the Biden administration is facing pressure to keep Huawei on the trade blacklist, which restricts the company’s access to semiconductors.
