He’s not called China Joe for nothing. This is quite a considerable amount of U.S. tech products delivered to blacklisted Chinese companies. It would be interesting to trace the multinational kickbacks to the Biden administration.
March 3 (Reuters) – The Biden administration approved 192 licenses worth over $23 billion to ship U.S. goods and technology to Chinese companies on a U.S. trade blacklist in the first quarter of last year, according to a document released by a U.S. congressional committee on Friday.
The 192 licenses granted were out of 242 license applications decided between January and March 2022, a chart showed, and 115 of those approved contained controlled technology. Nineteen, or 8 percent of the total number of applications, were denied, and 31 were returned without action.
Republican Representative Michael McCaul, chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, released the license numbers on Friday after revealing at a hearing on Tuesday that more than $23 billion worth of licenses were approved for suppliers to companies on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s “entity list” in the first quarter of 2022.
In a statement on Friday, McCaul called the approvals unacceptable. “This critical U.S. technology is going to the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance and military efforts,” he said. (read more)
Beijing knows they can purchase U.S. political outcomes. At this point the pretending is embarrassing.
…SMH!
How can this go on without any mention from the “opposition”?
Hahahaha! Opposition! Hahahahaha!
Biden is so very clearly compromised and the Republicans will never in million years impeach him. Be sure to give them your vote. /s
What would Republicans accomplish by impeaching Biden. The Senate would still have to convict him of the charges brought to them by the House. That isn’t happening at least until 2025. About all we gave the Repugs permission to do is use the House to investigate the activities of the Executive branch. It is a start, but you can’t expect real action until most of the power structure in the DC Swamp has been taken from the Demcommies and we have a long way to go on that project.
Thanks to Glitch Mitch. If Old turtle-head had financed the GOP candidates for Senate instead of Democrats or left-leaners like Murkowski, The GOP could have had the Senate majority that we need and possibly a stronger showing in the House: McConnell and his 18 RINOs sunk it.
Media won’t touch it.
It is being mentioned now that the opposition is in a position to mention it. I think the problem was that Sock Puppet was busy trying to undo everything former President Trump did while he was in office, no matter what it was. Restrictions on US/Chinese trade were part of what Trump thankfully did. Like pushing a red reset button. No? At some point we will have to stop pointing our guns at each other long enough to notice who our enemy really is.
You hit that one squarely on the head. It couldn’t have been spoken any better.
So who got the licenses and for what? I hate articles like this one.
Making China Great Again..!
So disgusted and embarrassed by the political cowardliness and greed in our Government on both sides. How can they do this to their country.
Cause we are minor players, enslaved to government and corporations…and China has leverage on Joe.
the more I think about it, I don’t think China has leverage on most in government.
They give our freedoms up gladly for money and power. No leverage needed.
Nothing cowardly about the commies masquerading as Democrats. They call their shots and make them happen.
They assuage any guilt by reminding themselves of the massive number of social programs (that do not benefit average Americans) in place.
They know that the average American is resourceful and will survive.
If they have a conscience, that is how they get around it and their guilty conscience.
Remember, we aae nothing more than cold numbers.
They do not have a conscience. It’s been carefully bred out from inside of the public school system since the “free speech” bowel movement of the 1960s.
The end justifies the means, situational ethics, etc., etc.
How? They never believe they or their family will face the consequences of their actions.
It doesn’t seem to be too hard for these criminals. They have spent their careers growing extremely wealthy doing absolutely nothing but picking our pockets. Mr. Trump comes along, who has worked for his wealth and made himself a multi-billionaire and these thieves demand that his taxes be scoured with microscopes to find a fault. That is just the kind of criminals we are dealing with.
That $23 billion in trade licenses is going to end up costing many multiples of that in lost intellectual property.
And the sell out of our Country runs downhill
Crap has always trickled downhill. That is just the law of gravity.
One day at least in every week
Joe Biden examines things of every kind
To sell out America to China that he can seek
And is just as sure to find
There once was a man from Nantucket…
“China Joe” sung to the tune of the Doobie Brothers China Grove
Imagine with a dash of Kid Rock’s “We the People ‘Let’s Go Brandon'” 😉
The people of DC town are strange
And they’re proud of where they came
Well, you talkin’ ’bout the China Joe (talkin’ ’bout the China Joe)
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Joe
Well, the leacher and Jill the teacher
Lord, they’re a caution
They are the talk of the town
When the gossip gets to flyin’ and they’re always lyin’
When the sun goes fallin’ down
They say that Hunter’s father’s insane
And dear Jean–Pierre a game
Well, talkin’ ’bout the China Joe(talkin’ ’bout the China Joe)
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh), China Joe
Brillant!
A good solid straight rock band until Michael McDonald boogered them up.
The Lord laughs at Joe Biden,
For He sees his day is coming.

Is that a Tom Brokaw doppelgänger taking notes behind Nan-zi?
…and a Tom Haverford lookalike behind Xi?
How many of these deals were brokered by Hunter?
10% is a cool 2.3 billion for “The Big Guy” …
Y’all know what’s going to happen….right?
Not a damn thing!
These m!@#$$%rs cover each other’s a$$es….and we get screwed again….
So we can assume the MSM takeaway will be: TRUMP DID IT!
Smoe Blidin sure one blig glifter.
Brandon , Here your a$$ boy. Never forget I own it!!
Love Xi.
Hmmm. So that is where all those balloons came from.
Kinda sorta sounds like treason.
Joe loves the smell of Treason in the morning.
Just now add to blacklist – How much damage has this already done?
March 2 (Reuters) – The Biden administration on Thursday added 37 companies to a trade blacklist, including units of Chinese genetics company BGI (300676.SZ) and Chinese cloud computing firm Inspur, in a move that promises to further ratchet up tensions with Beijing.
The Commerce Department, which oversees export controls, added BGI Research and BGI Tech Solutions (Hongkong), over allegations that the units pose a “significant risk” to contributing to Chinese government surveillance.
“The actions of these entities concerning the collection and analysis of genetic data present a significant risk of diversion to China’s military programs,” it said.

So how do you think Gina Raimondo is doing?
By The Associated Press January 7, 2021
President-elect Joe Biden has picked Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo to lead the Commerce Department, setting trade policy and looking to promote U.S. opportunities for growth domestically and overseas.
Raimondo, a former venture capitalist, is in her second term as governor and previously served as state treasurer. Her name had been floated for Biden’s health secretary.
Her nomination, which was confirmed by a person familiar with the decision, will need to be approved by the Senate.
Raimondo, 49, has degrees from Harvard and Yale Law School and was a Rhodes scholar.
She served as a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood of the Southern District of New York, but ultimately went into business.

The firm she co-founded, Point Judith Capital, was a venture capital firm that invested in communications, internet, health care and technology companies.
Raimondo’s first run for office was in 2010, when she was elected state treasurer.
While there, she led a state pension overhaul, which cut pension benefits for workers in the state pension system and drew intense opposition from public sector unions.

Talk talk talk. The Bonless Turkey Republicans are limp dicks ok? Theyve conned you once again into thinking they are going to do something…anything. Give us the House! Give us the Senate! Give us the Oval Office! Then we will…we will…well darn it we will get really mad…..Pffffft.
Wish a buck was still silver
A very convenient target for Rep. McCaul. Bash China and support the proxy war with Russia. I’m sure Xi and the CCP are only too willing to take that kind of “heat”…🤬💥
All your high tech belong to us.
So they play smash-mouth with Pras Michel for dealing informally with the CCP, but give the Bidenistas a pass on transferring controlled technology? Michel may have violated the Hatch Act, but the Bidenistas are just over-the-top scofflaws.
“The Biden administration approved 192 licenses worth over $23 billion to ship U.S. goods and technology to Chinese companies on a U.S. trade blacklist in the first quarter of last year, “
I guess this is why US tech ends up in spy balloons floating over our country.
Such damn fools doing this. Leftists since Clinton exporting tech to the Chicoms.
…and people wonder if this demented fool will act if China moves on Taiwan.
This all started with Nixon and Kissinger.
Kissinger goaded Nixon into it.
My guess is China bought quite a few Hunter paintings.
DNC needs money now that FTX was shut down.
It doesnt stop until there are arrests and imprisonment on both sides.
how about tracking kickbacks to the rinos?
This is what losing and defeat look and feel like. America was stolen from us. We did nothing to stop it. (Talking and arguing and pleading and playing by the rules won’t move this obstacle.) It’s a different country now.
This has all evolved from how business is done in DC. Thanks to special interests and lobbyists the government is picking winners and losers and has adopted the globalist agenda. They care not what the people think. Trillions are at stake and elections are now fixed.
Commies trading with their brother Commies is why the five wealthiest suburbs in our Country surround Washington, DC.
Let’s see, China is the biggest cutthroat competitor, that’s why US gives them licenses. It all makes sense? Follow the money each way and then recycled. It’s just wonderful how it can work so profitably for those with connections. Ukraine opportunity is even more smashingly good. US can weaken European competitor with sanctions, destroy Ukraine, and then make big money reconstructing it. You can’t make this stuff up.
The ENEMY within!
Licences from the Pharisees and Saducees? Wow, thanks Uncle Sam and King Herod.
Spoke with someone the other day about this.
But did the so called republicans do anything when Miley called Xi to report that he’d give him a jingle if President Trump was to drop a bomb? No. Is it treason? Let me answer that-YES!
China Joe is selling us to the chicoms. The only Republicans who are trying to help the people are about 19; I exclude MJT because she thinks it is good to split the country. What an idiot.
Nothing will be done until the lion returns to the White House and God sends the Lion of Judah to awaken all of us .
We remain ONE country, under GOD, indivisible, with JUSTICE for ALL. And that includes the traitors.
Justice will come.
Maranatha!
MTG not MJT.
I stand corrected.
TRAITOR JOE
—————
Should be drawn and quartered at midnight on the West Lawn. Fck him and every other demon and devil on the left.
Wall Street hates America and views China as their profit center. It’s a shame Norfolk Southern didn’t have their train derailment in The Hamptons.
The Chinese only need a couple of pieces of each item in order to reverse engineer it. The CCP ignores patents as a matter of course.
The CCP buys everybody in the West and everywhere else for that matter…. I’ve seen this going on for years .
It’s not that people are gullible… they are GREEDY… easily bought… another thing the CCP is good at using is flattery…
Look at Pelosi in the picture… a fawning useful idiot handled expertly by a suave Oriental… she has no clue! She’s nothing more than a socialite, in government for the perks, jollies and prestige. She’s dressed like Dr No.
Why must China steal IP? Why is innovation muted in their system?
Why innovate in a system where your creation will be nationalized?
They do not steal a single byte of data. It has been GIVEN to them LEGALLY by the Export Licenses issued by the US State Department, just like this for the past 30+ years.
The Western corporatists went to China about 40 years ago with a deal: The corporatists will provide the IP and the capital, the Chicoms will provide the slave labor. Each entity gets to share the profits.
You are the very first one here on CTH to actually ask this question.
Export Licensing covers ….
Actual data
Actual know how
Actual materials
Actual facilities
Actual OWNERSHIP participation
Actual TECHNICAL Staff participation
Actual attendance at US Universities
Actual sponsorship of US Universities installing campuses
Actual Seats on University sponsored entities
et. etc. etc.
Chinese own Biden lock stock and barrel.
Biden does not even know this happened. Even the “appointed” members of the Executive Branch do not even know this happened.
Export Licenses are handled by “Professional” Members of the US Government’s Executive Branch.
So long as the appointee layer of the Executive Branch is “protected” and kept inept as well as complicit by the US Congress, it will continue … Even under President Trump, 2016-2020.
President Trump hit upon the way to combat this problem too late into his adminstration … use and abuse the “210 day Temp Appointee rule” … the president can appoint temps who had been previously approved by the US Senate for any appointed position within the Executive Branch. This is another reason President Trump’s candidacy will be opposed by ALL Political and Puppet Master entities.
Thank you Sundance, for starting to shine a light on an issue that has been in plain sight at least since the Clinton Regime … nearly 30+ years ago. That’s right …. this goes way back before Biden
It has been pointed out here, on CTH and numerous other places by myself, that the “Professional” Bureaucracy within the US state Department has been legitimizing the transfer of US Know How to China inc. and other clients via their Export Licensing Authority.
The notion of technology theft by foreign nations from US Companies IS A MYTH and SMOKE SCREEN used as a cover for this BASIC TRUTH. The financial puppet masters have been exporting our strength for at least 3 x decades.
This is the result of the … Combine corrupt and now currently inept appointees with a deep seated “professional” Bureaucracy installed (and now protected) over the current 20 year Federal Employee (Hire to Retire) Cycle. Even President Trump was and will continue to e powerless to stop it unless the US Congress drifts back to being even somewhat MAGA.
From the article … “Republican Representative Michael McCaul, chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, released the license numbers on Friday after revealing at a hearing on Tuesday that more than $23 billion worth of licenses … “
OK Michael McCaul that’s nice …. BUT …. There are over 25 YEARS worth of license numbers … worth TRILLIONS of Dollars, TO RELEASE.
Once again Biden the puppet goes through the motions of being President while doing what those pulling his strings tell him to do !
THE BIG CLUB of WALL STREET to K-STREET to CAPITOL STREET are all profiting from CCP CASH
Friends: One thing that each and every one of us can do is to seek out and buy products that are Made in the USA from companies that are proud to manufacture domestically. Yes, you will probably have to pay more, perhaps, a lot more, but, think of those extra dollars are well spent ammunition.
It is SO EVIDENT that FJB is a COMMUNIST sycophant for China. He is the ULTIMATE TRAITOR to America. FJB!
The 10% has to be earned.
More and more it seems Joe is owned and controlled by China…I also suspect that some of the billions that Joe is giving Ukraine is finding it’s way back to the Bidens- they have been grifters for decades…Joe is not a very bright guy, but after his entire ife in government he seems to have done very well financially- it’s time to “follow the money” because Hunter’s laptop gave us a good map to follow…..
Hurry now, the Biden sale ends 2024. Treasonous whores.
Whores.
And traitors to the people of the USA.
We want TARRIFS!!!
All roads lead to the CFR & Clinton’s
