The House Oversight Committee has uncovered a message from Hunter Biden stating that his family can provide whatever the chairman of a Chinese energy company with ties to the Chinese Communist Party desires.
On August 3, 2017, Hunter Biden sent a message via the WhatsApp service to Gongwen Dong, who he addressed as Kevin. Fox News reports that Gonwen Dong was an official with the Chinese energy company CEFC.
According to a duplicate of the message posted to Twitter, Hunter Biden wrote, using an acronym for “joint venture,” “K- Very simple: 10 M per annum budget to use to further the interest of the JV.” “This move to 5M is completely new to me and is not acceptable obviously … if the Chairman doesn’t value this relationship is being worth at [least] 5M, then I’m just baffled.”

“Please let’s put this to bed tonight [and] sign officially tomorrow (or anytime as late tonight as you want) and get to work. I am tired of this Kevin. I can make $5M in salary at any law firm in America. If you think this is about money it’s not,” Hunter Biden wrote.
“The Biden’s are the best I know at doing exactly what the Chairman wants from this partnership. Please let’s not quibble over peanuts.”
As more facts come to light, it becomes even more evident that the Bidens put China and their interests first and America last.

Owasco, a corporation founded by Hunter Biden, received $100,000 from a CEFC subsidiary one day after the message.
Some context. According to a transcript of an interview with whistleblower Gary Shapley conducted on July 30, 2017, Hunter Biden wrote Henry Zhao about his demands.
“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,” Hunter Biden wrote, according to a transcript.
