WaPo: Inside Hunter Biden's multimillion-dollar deals with a Chinese energy company

21. There is another point that should not be lost

Hunter Biden had no clue his dad would become President in 2020 back in 2015/2016. As far as he knew at that time, his dad's Vice Presidency was the capstone of a long political career, and that he'd most likely ease into retirement. Ex pols have found it to be profitable to do three things: lobby, speak in public, and sit on boards. This looked like Biden's future back in 2016. Even when it became clear that Trump was not universally popular and not very competent, it was not clear that Joe Biden would be getting back into politics. That didn't become clear until 2020 when it was clear no other candidate on our party that was able to get broad traction.

Would i have preferred that Hunter Biden had made multi million dollar deals in Silicone Valley. Frankly, yes. But there is nothing illegal about doing business overseas unless you are talking about someplace like Iran or Cuba.
