He spent a decade unsuccessfully pursuing projects in China, operating an office there during his first run for president and forging a partnership with a major government-controlled company.
The British and Irish accounts are held by companies that operate Mr Trump’s golf courses in Scotland and Ireland, which regularly report millions of dollars in revenue from those countries.In response to questions from The Times, Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said the company had “opened an account with a Chinese bank having offices in the United States in order to pay the local taxes” associated with efforts to do business there.
China continues to be an issue in the 2020 presidential campaign, from the president’s trade war to his barbs over the origin of the coronavirus pandemic. Numerous news articles and fact-checking sites have explained that the huge figure was actually a fundraising goal set by an investment firm in which Hunter Biden obtained a 10 per cent stake after his father left office.The firm did receive financial backing from a large state-controlled bank, but it is not clear the fundraising target was ever met, and there is no evidence Hunter Biden received a large personal payout.
His efforts go at least as far back as 2006, when he filed trademark applications in Hong Kong and the mainland.In 2008, Mr Trump pursued an office tower project in Guangzhou that never got off the ground. But his efforts accelerated in 2012 with the opening of a Shanghai office, and tax records show that one of Mr Trump’s China-related companies, THC China Development LLC, claimed USD$84,000 in deductions that year for travel costs, legal fees and office expenses.
It sounds like SBS is trying to justify some pretty severe corruption. I hope they don't approach their business practices like this. SBS - if everyone else is accepting foreign money for political favours then why shouldn't we do it?
One thing you can be sure of with realDonaldTrump is if he claims someone is doing something corrupt, you can rest assure that is exactly what he is doing.
The whole world where CCP deeply and broadly infiltrated their elites, financially and politically!!! Action!! Action!! Action!!! Before it is too late!!!!!!
How about he hasn’t dropped one bomb on civilians SBS
BIG DEAL he is/was a business man not some covidiot like the democrat OR …..
Dr. Li-Meng Yan shows the evidences in her two short reports that the coronavirus was manufactured and spread intentionally by the Chinese Communist Party. Click yanreports to read the 2 reports.
Stop the Trump antagonism for once... meanwhile...
You have got to be joking. Biden is corrupt beyond doubt and Trump and his family have been investigated for 4 years and they found nothing. Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, etc are all swamp creatures and the left media want to focus on a guy who’s been in politics for 3.5 years.
Honestly, the hate media never give up. The word”some”……..what a vague generalisation, and written by an un-named journalist. Typical.
He is an International Businessman who now donates his Government Pay check unlike the Bidens who used Government to become Rich. And remember why he was elected to get rid of these corrupt pricks in Washington !
So, is SBS on retainer from the US Democrats, or is it an article by article deal? SBS is certainly not working on behalf of Australia. MediaBias
SBS news doesn't cover the Biden scandal, the biggest financial scandal in a Presidential election ever, yet they come up with dribble like this.
Shhh , lets not mention Biden’s corruption with ACTUAL evidence
Lets also not forget Trump was not a president before 2016, but Biden was a VP from 2008 to 2016, and even years serving in public seevice
Oh look, they were all legal......yawn
He is businessman, of course there are overseas financial deals. Biden is different, he is not a businessman, but a politican high up the food chain, potentially expose to lots of top secret. Biden's family using this to exploit the system and gain enormous amount of $
Anonymous sources?
