The media loves to vilify Donald Trump, painting him as a self-serving profiteer while ignoring the real players cashing in on America’s adversaries. As I’ve argued in my articles on Trump’s trade policies (“How Trump’s Tariffs Are Winning Trade” and “Why China Needs USA More Than USA Needs China”), Trump took a $1.2 billion hit during his presidency to prioritize American industries. Meanwhile, the establishment—think Clintons and Bidens—raked in millions from nations like Russia and China, often at America’s expense. A bombshell claim now circulating suggests Hunter Biden’s deals with CEFC China Energy, a CCP-linked firm, cost Westinghouse, a premier U.S. nuclear company, billions by enabling China to steal its reactor designs. Worse, the Bidens’ coziness allegedly kept Westinghouse from fighting back legally, fearing blowback from then-Vice President Joe Biden. Is this another case of the swamp profiting while Trump gets the blame? Let’s dig into the evidence.
Hunter Biden and CEFC: A Plan to Hand China Nuclear Power
Hunter Biden’s ties to CEFC China Energy, a Shanghai-based conglomerate with deep CCP and People’s Liberation Army (PLA) connections, are no secret. From 2017 to 2018, CEFC paid entities controlled by Hunter and his uncle James Biden $4.8 million over 14 months, per The Washington Post, including $3.8 million in consulting fees and a $1 million retainer for representing CEFC official Patrick Ho, later convicted for bribing African leaders. Hunter also got an $80,000 diamond from CEFC chairman Ye Jianming in 2017, a “gift” he claimed was for a nonprofit but smells like a payoff.
The real kicker? In 2016, while Joe Biden was still Vice President, Hunter and his partners, James Gilliar and Rob Walker, tried to help CEFC buy Westinghouse, America’s top nuclear reactor maker, known for its advanced AP1000 reactor. A strategy memo obtained by Congress reveals their goal: let CEFC “control” the global nuclear market by acquiring Westinghouse, using Hunter’s “interesting last name” to open doors in Washington and Beijing. Gilliar wrote, “Utilising the U.S. face of Westinghouse, combined with the economic power of CEFC (China) is the perfect solution to control this global sector.” The plan was to hide the Chinese purchase behind intermediaries to avoid scrutiny, exploiting Westinghouse’s “significant lobbying power in Congress” to smooth the deal.
Why Westinghouse? Its AP1000 reactor was a game-changer—smaller, safer, and cutting-edge. But by 2016, Westinghouse, owned by Japan’s Toshiba, was struggling, with $13 billion in cost overruns on AP1000 plants in Georgia and South Carolina, leading to its 2017 bankruptcy. This made it a ripe target for CEFC, which saw a chance to dominate nuclear energy, a key CCP goal for technological independence.
Did China Steal Westinghouse’s Designs?
Here’s where it gets murky. The claim that CEFC, with Hunter’s help, stole Westinghouse’s AP1000 designs to build Chinese reactors hinges on prior Chinese actions. In 2010, a PLA operative hacked Westinghouse’s systems, stealing “proprietary and confidential technical and design specifications” for the AP1000’s pipes and routing systems, per a 2014 DOJ indictment. This theft could let a competitor “build a plant similar to the AP1000 without incurring significant research and development costs.” In 2016, another Chinese firm, China General Nuclear Power Corp., was charged with trying to steal U.S. nuclear tech for its Hualong One reactor.
Did CEFC use Westinghouse’s designs? Westinghouse had been working with Chinese partners since 2006, building four AP1000 reactors in China under technology transfer agreements. These deals, legal at the time, gave China access to AP1000 tech, but safeguards were supposed to prevent unauthorized use. However, China’s history of intellectual property theft—evidenced by the 2010 hack—raises suspicions that CEFC or other Chinese firms could have exploited these designs for additional reactors, like the Hualong One, without Westinghouse’s consent. No direct evidence ties Hunter’s 2016 CEFC deal to specific design theft, but the hacking preceded his involvement, and CEFC’s acquisition attempt could have aimed to further exploit Westinghouse’s tech.
The financial impact? Hard to pin down. Westinghouse’s $13 billion overrun and 2017 bankruptcy were tied to U.S. projects, not direct Chinese theft. If China built unauthorized reactors using stolen AP1000 designs, it could have cost Westinghouse billions in lost licensing fees or market share, but no public data quantifies this. The claim of “billions” in losses remains speculative, though China’s nuclear expansion (e.g., 22 reactors under construction by 2020) suggests a massive market Westinghouse was sidelined from, partly due to its financial woes and Chinese ambitions.
Did the Bidens Block Legal Action?
The idea that the Bidens’ influence stopped Westinghouse from pursuing legal action is the weakest link. No evidence shows Westinghouse considered suing CEFC or Chinese firms over design theft, let alone that Joe Biden’s position as Vice President deterred them. Westinghouse’s bankruptcy and Toshiba’s “market weakness” made it vulnerable, but legal inaction likely stemmed from practical issues: proving theft in Chinese courts is notoriously hard, and Westinghouse’s prior tech transfers to China complicated claims. The 2014 DOJ indictment against PLA hackers shows the U.S. pursued justice, but no records link Biden to stifling Westinghouse’s response.
Still, the optics are damning. Hunter’s $4.8 million from CEFC, his push for a Westinghouse deal, and Joe Biden’s role as Vice President create a perception of conflict, much like the Clintons’ Uranium One scandal my earlier point about Bill’s $500,000 Russian speech. Hunter’s emails, calling CEFC’s Patrick Ho the “f---ing spy chief” of China, and James Biden’s belief that Ye Jianming was tied to China’s leadership, suggest they knew CEFC was no ordinary firm. Former Trump advisor Victoria Coates called Hunter’s involvement “beyond outrageous,” given the national security risks. Why would Westinghouse risk antagonizing a Vice President whose son was cozy with a CCP-linked buyer?
Trump vs. the Swamp: A Stark Contrast
This brings us back to Trump. As I’ve shown “The Rise and Fall of Steel Prices”, Trump’s tariffs fought Chinese overreach, protecting U.S. industries while his wealth dropped $1.2 billion during his term. Unlike the Bidens, who pocketed millions from CEFC, or the Clintons, who cashed in on Russian uranium deals, Trump avoided foreign payouts from adversaries. His post-presidency gains came from Truth Social, a U.S.-based platform, not CCP-linked firms. Yet the media, as I’ve detailed (“Media Bias Exposed: J6 Rioters Vilified” and “Lawfare Against Trump”), hammers Trump while giving the Bidens a pass. Why? Because Trump’s America-first policies, like tariffs “Trump’s Tariffs Are Winning—Don’t Believe the Hype”, threaten the globalist elite who profit from China’s rise.
The Bidens’ CEFC saga isn’t just about Hunter’s cash grab. It’s about a pattern—career politicians and their families leveraging influence with nations like China, who’ve been fleecing U.S. tech for decades “Why China Needs USA More Than USA Needs China”. The media ignores this, hyping J6 or Trump’s legal battles “The 2020 Election Debate” while downplaying how Hunter’s deals could’ve handed China a nuclear edge. No wonder Westinghouse stayed quiet—crossing the Vice President’s family isn’t a smart move.
The Bottom Line
Did Hunter Biden’s CEFC deals cost Westinghouse billions? Maybe. China’s 2010 hack of AP1000 designs, followed by Hunter’s 2016 push to sell Westinghouse to CEFC, suggests a pattern of Chinese tech theft that could’ve robbed Westinghouse of market share. But the $13 billion hit was from U.S. project overruns, and no hard evidence quantifies losses from stolen designs. Did the Bidens block legal action? No proof, but the optics—$4.8 million in CEFC cash, a diamond gift, and Hunter’s “big guy” emails—scream conflict of interest. Compare that to Trump, who lost billions fighting for American industries, yet gets vilified by a media that shrugs at the Bidens’ Chinese payoffs. It’s time to call out the swamp’s double standards.
