Will U.S. Presidential Candidate Joe Biden's Ties To China Hurt Him In This Year's Election?

Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping (R) holds a welcoming ceremony for U.S. Vice President Joe Biden in Beijing, capital of China, Aug. 18, 2011.

Joseph Simonson & Jerry Dunleavy: Washington Examiner: 'Joe Biden has a big China problem': Trump preps campaign assault on fall foe

President Trump's reelection campaign has two main targets, Joe Biden and China, and plans to tie them together relentlessly until November.

Team Trump is preparing to make the former vice president's remarks and familial ties to the communist country a focal point of its campaign strategy. The political ammunition is extensive, with years of video and recorded speeches reminding people of what the campaign calls Biden's coziness with Beijing.

And it comes at a time when the Trump administration is increasingly pointing fingers at China as the source of the coronavirus pandemic. The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally. More than 2.16 million cases have been reported across 201 countries and territories, resulting in more than 145,000 deaths, including 34,784 in the United States.

Those close to the Trump campaign say internal polling suggests it's one of Biden's biggest weaknesses.

WNU Editor: There are going to be a lot of issues in this year's election, and China will play a huge role. I can easily see President Trump ramping up attention to the terrible harm that China has done to help spread the pandemic that we are all experiencing. The fact that Presidential candidate Joe Biden's has a lot of ties to China as well as having a number of his family members, including his son, get rich from those ties is definitely going to be played up before November.

Coronavirus: curse of the ‘Bat Woman’ — what went on in Wuhan lab?

I doubt it will hurt him. Trump has a few sound bits out there praising China on their virus response.

True. However, Don Trump Jr didnt make millions personally

I think both comments are a little bit correct. I think if Joe talks soft on China it would hurt him. China is clearly a threat. People on both sides of the aisle have now come to that conclusion. And I think the American people have come to that conclusion. And even though Don Trump Junior hasn’t made money off of China, that we know of, does it mean that his fingers haven’t been caught in the cookie jar, because it has. Hunter Biden is a problem from Joe. Just like trumps family is a problem for him. It shows really bad taste and elitist actions and thoughts.

The everyone does it / muddying the water argument.

Blackdog is making the "you too" to Tu quoque argument/fallacy.

Making money by doing business with Chinese businesses is not the concern. What is of a concern is what people may do to make that money or hit a profit margin target.

Degree of corruption matters. Orders of magnitude matter.

Degree of corruption matters. In society you do not treat a jay walker the same as a murdered unless you are a Democrat and the jay walker is a Republican. Which now happens every day in America. Challenge that. I have proof.

It is generally known what business dealing Trump has. It is why leftards fixated on a Trump hotel in Moscow. which does not exist BTW. Is there a Trump hotel in Mainland China? Perhaps the estimable Yellow dog can enlighten us?

1.) Does Trump have a hotel in China?
2.) Maybe Celebrity Apprentice was a flop in the ratings and China funded it to buy Trump?
3.) Maybe some golf shirts made in China put Trump in the pocket of China?

Spin, spin, spin away!

We do know that cocaine cowboy Hunter made millions and his company billions based on his ability to pop positive during urinalysis, becoming a baby day and leaving drugs in a rental car. Yeah, I do business with hunter ... if I were China.

Oh I see I touched a nerve. Your arguments hold no water and are like diarrhea of the mouth. You’re a hypocrite and it shows. Definitely the statement here “ it is generally known what business dealing trumps has “ is this why he’s trying so hard to keep that dirty German bank from disclosing his business dealings ? You have no proof. You’re full of shit. Anonymous coward. You’re just like the other trolls trying to shout other people down By calling them names. Maybe when you grow up you can have a real conversation with the real men.
