Trump’s Conflicts of Interest in China


https://www.americanprogress.org ... cts-interest-china/

What is very important to note about China is how heavily involved the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) is in all decision-making processes, not only across all government agencies but also in the judiciary, which is not independent, as well as in state-owned enterprises, which include state-run banks.

In February, in its first major real estate transaction after Trump’s inauguration, the Trump Organization sold a $15.8 million penthouse apartment in Trump Tower to Chinese-American business executive Xiao Yan Chen, who also goes by the name Angela Chen and has been directly linked to a front group for Chinese military intelligence through the misleadingly innocuous-sounding China Arts Foundation. A 2011 congressional report was quite blunt in labeling the China Arts Foundation as “a front organization for the International Liaison Department of the People’s Liberation Army’s General Political Department.”

Trump holds 30 percent ownership of an office building in Manhattan at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, for which four lenders, including the state-owned Bank of China, provided a $950 million loan in 2012.

The reach of Chinese influence and money has also been linked to the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. In 2016, Kushner Companies, which until recently was headed by Jared Kushner, was desperate to find outside money to put into a property at 666 Fifth Avenue for which his company had paid $1.8 billion in 2007—an outlandish overpayment in light of the subsequent 2008 market crash. The Fifth Avenue property was badly overleveraged and risked collapsing Kushner’s entire company. Once again, Chinese money seemed eager to come to the rescue. Kushner began talks with the massive Chinese financial firm Anbang Insurance Group to undertake a joint venture to redevelop the Fifth Avenue property.

Anbang is one of the most aggressive Chinese buyers of U.S. real estate and has allegedly very close ties to the Chinese government. Its shadowy structure has caused suspicion about its real ownership and has led some U.S. firms to not work with the company because it doesn’t meet their client information guidelines. Anbang is headed by Wu Xiaohui, who is married to the granddaughter of former Chinese Vice Premier Deng Xiaoping.

川普家族与邓小平家族早有勾结，这解释了为何川普赞扬共匪六四屠杀，并试图制造美国版六四。

According to The Washington Post, representatives from Kushner Companies, including Jared’s sister Nicole Kushner Meyer, recently gave a presentation to Chinese citizens in Beijing encouraging them to each invest $500,000 in the family’s Trump-branded New Jersey luxury apartment complex in exchange for an EB-5 immigrant investor visa. Known in China as the “golden visa,” the immigrant investor visa allows wealthy foreigners who provide large amounts of funding to U.S. projects that create jobs to apply for a visa and immigrate to the United States. As reported by Bloomberg, prior to taking on his role in the White House, Jared Kushner had raised $50 million from Chinese immigrant investor visa applicants for the New Jersey project.

The Chinese Communist Party’s links to Trump go even further. In 2008, the state-controlled Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC)—which reports to the CPC and is currently the world’s largest lender—signed a lease for the 20th floor in Trump Tower in New York City.

In addition, the China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation, a state-controlled company in China also known as Sinosure, is reportedly investing $425 million in one of Trump’s resorts in Indonesia, specifically for a theme park to be built by another Chinese state-owned company.

According to President Trump’s May 2016 financial disclosure—which also was not verified by regulators and therefore may not include all of his foreign deals or assets—Trump owned, had ownership interest in, or was a managing member of several companies related to potential business in China, including the following:

    China Trademark LLC, member, president
    THC China Development LLC, president
        Value: $1,001 to $15,000
        Income amount: “None (or less than $201)”
    THC China Development Management Corp., chairman, director, president
    THC China Technical Services LLC, member, president
    THC China Technical Services Manager Corp., chairman, director, president
    THC Services Shenzen LLC, member, president
    THC Services Shenzen Member Corp., chairman, director, president

共匪女富商1580万美元购川普豪宅 有太子党和军方背景

地产交易记录显示，一名中国女富商2017年2月豪掷1580万美元，买下川普总统在纽约市曼哈顿公园大道一个豪华公寓的顶层复式住宅。根据纽约房屋交易记录，该公寓位于纽约市曼哈顿公园大道和59街的豪华高层建筑内，面积3800平方呎，有4个卧室和6个洗手间。这是川普就任总统以来，涉及其物业的首笔大交易。这笔交易提出了一个关键问题。这是一个直接的房地产交易，还是为赢得新政府青睐的努力？

这位中国女富商名叫陈晓燕（又名陈妤，Angela Chen），是邓小平女儿邓榕创办的中国艺术基金会纽约分部的负责人，该基金会是解放军情报和外事宣传部门的附属机构。陈晓燕有广泛的太子党和中国军方背景。

陈晓燕还是一家名为Global Alliance Associates的商业咨询公司的创办人，该公司网站称为寻求在中国大陆能有一席之地的美国公司，“开启通向中国的正确之门”，“帮助特定客户与中国最著名的公共和私人决策制定者达成战略关系，作为达成正确关系的顾问，相当简单，我们提供途径”。

根据其公司网站介绍，陈晓燕在创办GAA之前，曾任Prudential保险公司副总裁，帮助该公司在中国创建“国际私有银行集团”，并负责管理该银行集团的高净值私人客户群。她也曾参与美林证券公司的中国期货交易台的管理工作，并任职其国际分部总裁，她所监管的交易台，每年的交易额超过5亿美元。

她的公司网站称，陈晓燕与中国的大公司有联系，包括一些注册为国有企业的公司，如中国国家有色矿业集团公司。网站上写道，“她的客户包括中国化工集团公司、中国远洋运输（集团）公司和中国国家有色矿业集团公司，她也担任大型私营和投资银行组合的关系经理。”

尽管很多川普的物业只是冠有他的名字，但陈晓燕购买的这一公寓所在的Trump Park Avenue有限责任公司，确为川普所有。川普在担任总统后，将该公司交给川普集团的财务总监魏斯伯格和他的大儿子等3人组成的小组共同管理。

魏斯伯格签署了这一购房合同。涉及交易的公寓从未公开登记上市出售。根据购房网站Zillow.com介绍，被交易的公寓估值1430万美元。

有未证实的消息称，陈晓燕近期参与在纽约洽购投资中文网站。

Records shed new light on Trump’s business pursuits in China, including a bank account there.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/ ... -account-there.html

President Trump’s taxes reveal details about his business dealings in China, including a previously unknown bank account.

调查揭露川普在华经济活动

https://cn.nytimes.com/usa/20201021/trump-taxes-china/zh-hant/
https://cn.nytimes.com/usa/20201021/trump-taxes-china/dual/

根据对《纽约时报》获得的一份总统税务记录的分析，事实证明，中国是川普拥有银行帐户的三个外国国家之一，另外两个是英国和爱尔兰。这些外国帐户没有出现在川普必须列出个人资产的公开财务披露中，因为它们是以公司名称持有的。相关金融机构的名字尚不明确。

他在中国的帐户由川普国际酒店管理有限公司(Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C.)持有，税务记录显示，2013年至2015年，即在中国寻求许可协议期间，该公司共缴纳了18.8561万美元的税款。

加腾不愿透露该帐户所在银行的名称。直到去年，中国最大的国有银行还租用着川普大厦的三层楼，这一利润丰厚的租约引发了对总统利益冲突的指责。

但川普在中国的规划在很大程度上是由另一家公司推动的，即设有中国银行帐户的川普国际酒店管理公司。

该公司直接控股THC中国发展公司，但也参与了川普品牌在世界各地其余资产的管理，而且无法从其税务记录中辨别它有多少财务活动与中国有关。该公司每年报告的收入和可抵扣支出通常是几百万美元。

2017年，该公司报告的营收出现了不寻常的大幅增长——约有1759万美元，超过此前五年的总和。与此同时，川普还从公司资本帐户中取出了1510万美元。

在总统当年公开披露的财务信息中，他报告了巨额收入数字，但称那只是“管理费用和其他合同款项”。已知该公司在2017年发生的重大事件，是它买断了纽约苏豪酒店(Soho Hotel)的管理合同，据彭博社报导，买断费用在600万美元左右。

在赢得2016年大选后不久，报导称川普以1580万美元的价格，将自己在曼哈顿一栋大楼的顶层公寓卖给了一名叫陈晓燕的美籍华裔女商人，她在一笔场外交易中买下了这套公寓，伊万卡·川普和丈夫贾里德·库什纳(Jared Kushner)曾住在这里。陈晓燕经营着一家国际咨询公司，据称她与中国政府和政治精英关系紧密。

川普的税务记录显示，2017年，也就是他担任总统的第一年，他从这笔顶层公寓的交易中获得了至少560万美元的资本收益。

Trump Records Shed New Light on Chinese Business Pursuits
https://cn.nytimes.com/usa/20201021/trump-taxes-china/dual/

And it turns out that China is one of only three foreign nations — the others are Britain and Ireland — where Mr. Trump maintains a bank account, according to an analysis of the president’s tax records, which were obtained by The New York Times. The foreign accounts do not show up on Mr. Trump’s public financial disclosures, where he must list personal assets, because they are held under corporate names. The identities of the financial institutions are not clear.

The Chinese account is controlled by Trump International Hotels Management L.L.C., which the tax records show paid $188,561 in taxes in China while pursuing licensing deals there from 2013 to 2015.

Mr. Garten would not identify the bank in China where the account is held. Until last year, China’s biggest state-controlled bank rented three floors in Trump Tower, a lucrative lease that drew accusations of a conflict of interest for the president.

But Mr. Trump’s plans in China have been largely driven by a different company, Trump International Hotels Management — the one with a Chinese bank account.

The company has direct ownership of THC China Development, but is also involved in management of other Trump-branded properties around the world, and it is not possible to discern from its tax records how much of its financial activity is China-related. It normally reports a few million dollars in annual income and deductible expenses.

In 2017, the company reported an unusually large spike in revenue — some $17.5 million, more than the previous five years’ combined. It was accompanied by a $15.1 million withdrawal by Mr. Trump from the company’s capital account.

On the president’s public financial disclosures for that year, he reported the large revenue figure, and described it only as “management fees and other contract payments.” One significant event for the company that is known to have occurred in 2017 was the buyout of its management contract for the Soho Hotel in New York, which Bloomberg reported to have cost around $6 million.

In Vancouver, numerous Chinese buyers of units in Mr. Trump’s hotel and tower helped increase licensing fees from that project to $5.8 million in 2016, the year it was completed, according to tax records. The project was built by a Canadian-based firm controlled by the family of Malaysia’s richest man, Tony Tiah Thee Kian, who operates hotels in China and elsewhere.

And not long after winning the 2016 election, Mr. Trump reported selling a penthouse in one of his Manhattan buildings for $15.8 million to a Chinese-American businesswoman named Xiao Yan Chen, who bought the unit, previously occupied by Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, in an off-market transaction. Ms. Chen runs an international consulting firm and reportedly has high-level connections to government and political elites in China.

Mr. Trump’s tax records show that he reported a capital gain of at least $5.6 million from the penthouse sale in 2017, his first year as president.

Chen Xiaoyan (陈晓燕) purchased the four-bedroom, six-bathroom condo at Trump Park Avenue on Feb. 21, according to New York City property records. Before taking office, Trump removed himself from the board of directors of Trump Park Avenue LLC, which sold the unit, but he remains the entity’s owner.

Chen, who also goes by the names Chen Yu (陈妤) and Angela Chen, is the founder and managing director of Global Alliance Associates, a consulting firm that helps American businesses connect with powerful figures in China, and that is located in the same Trump building as the penthouse.

Angela Chen, in addition to her work as a consultant/broker, chairs the United States wing of a nonprofit cultural-exchange group called the China Arts Foundation.

The China Arts Foundation was founded by a woman named Deng Rong. Deng Rong’s father, Deng Xiaoping, was a contemporary of Mao’s who succeeded him as the leader of China. Deng Rong is also a vice president of an outreach group called the China Association for International Friendly Contacts, or CAIFC, that has co-hosted events with the China Arts Foundation.

The China Association for International Friendly Contacts is widely considered to be a propaganda/intelligence wing of the Chinese army.

川普一向无赖，只要选举输了，就说对手舞弊

只要川普竞选输了，或他所支持的候选人输了，川普就指责对方「舞弊」。

例如，川普在 2016 年 Iowa 州党团选举中失败，随后指责其党内对手 Ted Cruz 「偷走了选举」并要求重新选举，但却没拿出任何证据。

又例如，2018年中期选举亚利桑那州民主党候选人获胜，川普大喊「舞弊」，但一如既往没有任何证据。

除了选举失利时喊「舞弊」，川普在选举结果出来以前也喊。例如川普说「他们在一条河上找到很多选票（they found a lot of ballots in a river）」——记者质问白宫发言人：「『他们』是谁？河在哪里？(who is ‘they’ that found those ballots and where is this river anywhere in this country)」，白宫发言人当然回答不出来。


All The Elections Trump Has Claimed Were Stolen Through Voter Fraud
https://www.forbes.com/sites/and ... through-voter-fraud

Nov. 2012
Trump, who had endorsed Republican nominee Mitt Romney, tweeted about apocryphal reports of “voting machines switching Romney votes to Obama” after previously warning supporters in October to “be careful of voter fraud!”

Feb. 2016
Trump repeatedly chalked up his narrow loss to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) in the Iowa caucus to voter fraud, pushing vague, unsubstantiated claims Cruz “cheated” and “stole” the election and demanding, “either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.”

Nov. 2016
Despite defeating Hillary Clinton in the Electoral College, Trump tweeted baseless allegations of “millions of FRAUD votes” and claiming, “Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California.”

Dec. 2017
Trump subtly pushed doubts about the legitimacy of Alabama’s special Senate election, which Democrat Doug Jones won in an upset, conceding “a win is a win,” but adding, “The write-in votes played a very big factor.”

Nov. 2018
Trump took aim at Senate elections in Arizona and Florida and a gubernatorial race in Georgia – the latter two of which Republicans won – falsely claiming Florida counties “miraculously started finding Democrat votes” and proposing a new election in Arizona because of unexplained “electoral corruption.”

Aug. 2020
A rare example where Trump lacked a direct personal stake, he called to re-run the late-decided Democratic primary in New York’s 12th District, pointing to it as a prime example of the failings of mail-in voting – though analysts argue such examples serve better as a display of New York’s subpar election administration.

Nov. 2020
Trump has made some of his most outlandish voter fraud claims yet in an effort to hang onto power despite Democrat Joe Biden’s clear win, repeatedly pushing claims about voting machines changing votes that even his own officials rebuked.

"Did you see what's going on?" Trump said onstage. "They are being dumped in rivers. This is a horrible thing for our country."

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany later made it clear that Trump was talking about the investigation in Wisconsin.

McEnany was repeatedly pressed by a reporter on Thursday to clarify where the "river" that Trump talked about was located, but she declined to answer.

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany folded under a simple question regarding a claim Donald Trump made that mail-in ballots for the 2020 US election were being dumped in rivers and creeks.  

"Where is the river?" the reporter asked.  

Ms McEnany, rather than answering the question, launched into a defensive tirade accusing the reporter of "missing the forest for the trees" and accusing him and others of lacking "journalistic curiosity."  

"The other day [Mr Trump] said 'they found a lot of ballots in a river.' Who is they?" the reporter asked. "Who is 'they,' that found those ballots, and where is this river, anywhere in this country?"

内容农场（Content Farm）：专门生产谣言、假新闻，为信息战（Disinformation War）供应「弹药」

Google uncovered Russia-backed ads on YouTube, Gmail : source
https://www.reuters.com/article/ ... ource-idUSKBN1CE192

Google has discovered Russian operatives spent tens of thousands of dollars on ads on its YouTube, Gmail and Google Search products in an effort to meddle in the 2016 U.S. presidential election

Both Twitter Inc TWTR.N and Facebook recently detected and disclosed that suspected Russian operatives, working for a content farm known as the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersburg, Russia, used their platforms to purchase ads and post content that was politically divisive in a bid to influence Americans before and after the November 2016 presidential election.

The Internet Research Agency employ hundreds of so-called “trolls” who post pro-Kremlin content, much of it fake or discredited, under the guise of phony social media accounts that posed as American or European residents, according to lawmakers and researchers.

A study published on Monday by researchers with the Oxford Internet Institute, which is affiliated with the British university, found that current U.S. military personnel and veterans were targeted by disinformation campaigns on Twitter and Facebook over the past year by a nexus of pro-Kremlin, Russian-oriented sites, along with conspiracy theorists and European right-wing ideologues.

Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have said Russia intended to sow discord in the United States, spread propaganda and sway the election.
