Facing Xi Jinping: Can Biden Overcome Conflicts of Interest to Defend Taiwan?

At the end of last year'shigh-stakes summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping's blunt message to President Joe Biden about China's intention to reunify with Taiwan has sharply brought into focus a critical question: Can Biden, ensnared in his family's controversial business dealings with China, robustly defend Taiwan against Beijing's growing assertiveness?

Let's confront the elephant in the room - the Biden family's financial involvements in China, particularly Hunter Biden's business ventures. These dealings, forged during Joe Biden's tenure as Vice President, cast a long shadow over the administration's foreign policy decisions today. The involvement in Bohai Harvest RST (BHR) and other significant financial ties to Chinese entities have raised legitimate concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
