Newly discovered photos of the Bidens meeting with Hunter's business partners in China are renewing the analysis of the email exchange. first reported by Fox News Digital. A 2014 email exchange reveals Hunter Biden once said he would be “happy” to introduce business associates to a top Chinese Communist Party official to discuss potential investments after the official who is said to have sat at Hunter's table during a 2013 dinner in Beijing to welcome his father, then Vice President Joe Biden.

Hunter's 2014 email exchange with James Bulger referred to a similar trip to China mentioned in an America First Legal press release.

Bulger, who goes by “Jimmy,” served as chairman of Thornton Group LLC in Boston, the firm that merged with Hunter's defunct Rosemont Seneca to launch its joint venture with Chinese investment firm Bohai Capital in formed BHR Partners shortly thereafter. The Bidens visited China. BHR Partners is managed by Bank of China Limited.

In a 2014 email, Bulger asked Hunter to introduce BHR CEO Jonathan Li and Andy Lu, who was a BHR committee member, to “Mr. Tung,” meaning CH Tung, the governor of a former Hong Kong billionaire who served as a deputy. chairman of the CCP-affiliated Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, to discuss “BHR investment goals” and “fundraising.”

The email purported to be Hunter sitting next to Tung at a December 2013 dinner reception. Vice President Joe Biden in Beijing. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House multiple times to request a seating chart for the Beijing dinner, specifically Hunter's table, but received no response.

“It is my understanding that during the trip to Beijing you made with your father, President Xi hosted a welcome dinner,” Bulger wrote. “(A)n that dinner, you were seated next to Mr. Tung, so J and Andy believe it would be very helpful if you could send Mr. Tung an email stating that you are a partner and a BHR Board Member .and that He will thank Mr. Tung if he meets with your partners to discuss the Fund.

“Please let me know if you can inform Mr Tung these two by email are very important to our BHR (sic) business at the moment.”

Hunter replied that he was “happy” to honor the request, but said he could not remember the names of the dignitaries who sat next to him at the dinner.

It appears that the “welcome dinner” in Beijing hosted by President Xi that Bulger was referring to in his earlier email. it happened in the evening of December 4, 2013, after Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao met with Joe Biden earlier that day to discuss strengthening US-China relations.
