From Scott Dworkin:
Here’s video I found of Eric Trump saying “I’ve been to China many times—I love China—A lot of plans for China. We have an amazing buyer base from China that has apartments in our buildings—use our hotels—are members of our golf clubs.” Oh ok makes sense.

Donald Trump’s Debt to China

EXCERPT:
With criticisms of Trump’s handling of the pandemic growing and new opinion polls showing him trailing Biden in several key battleground states, we are sure to see more of these diversions. But adopting a China campaign strategy would also present a number of problems for Trump, beginning with the fact that Hunter Biden’s investment partnership isn’t the only American business that received funding from Chinese entities. In 2012, the Bank of China, a commercial bank owned by the Chinese state, provided more than two hundred million dollars in loans to a New York office building that Trump co-owns, Politico reported on Friday. The loans will come due in 2022, “in the middle of what could be Trump’s second term,” the timely article noted.
The building in question is 1290 Avenue of the Americas, which is located between West Fifty-first and West Fifty-second Streets. The majority owner of the building is Vornado Realty Trust, a big real-estate company that is run by the veteran developer Steven Roth. In 2007, the Trump Organization acquired a thirty-per-cent stake in the Sixth Avenue building and also in separate Vornado development, in San Francisco. By all appearances, the Vornado stake has been one of Trump’s most successful investments, and the Bank of China played a significant role in its success. “The debt stems from a $950 million refinancing deal in 2012, to which the Bank of China chipped in $211 million,” the Politico article said. “Vornado’s federal financial disclosures show it and the other owner of 1290 Avenue of the Americas—Trump—are still indebted from the 2012 deal.”

Trump’s watchdog for COVID-19 stimulus cash
allowed millions to go to China-backed businesses
President Donald Trump tried to wage war against former Vice President Joe Biden for being too close to China, but it was revealed Sunday that the Trump administration’s appointees allowed supplemental money from the Paycheck Protection Program to be given to China-backed businesses in the United States.
The New York Times cited a study from Horizon Advisory on the publicly available data, “$192 million to $419 million has gone to more than 125 companies that Chinese entities own or invest in. Many of the loans were quite sizable; at least 32 Chinese companies received loans worth more than $1 million, with those totaling as much as $180 million.”

As Trump’s term continued, it became evident that Ivanka Trump would also benefit from China’s apparent attempts to tempt the Trump administration. On April 6, 2017, the same night Ivanka Trump dined with Jinping at Mar-A-Lago, the Chinese government granted her approval for three new trademarks to sell products related to jewelry, bags and spa services.
Along with trade, Chinese telecoms ZTE and Huawei emerged as major focal points in the foreign policy battle between the U.S. and China. U.S. officials consider both companies to be controlled by the Chinese government and thus a potential national security threat. The Trump administration in April 2018 banned American firms from selling parts to ZTE for seven years, dealing a crippling blow to the Chinese firm.
That ban didn’t last long. In what was considered a quid-pro-quo by some and a coincidence by others, Trump in May 2018 tweeted he would to find a way to save ZTE shortly after China approved seven new trademarks for Ivanka Trump’s various business measures. The deal also came shortly after reports that a state-owned Chinese company would provide $500 million for a Trump-licensed project in Indonesia.
Trump delivered on his promise, striking a deal with ZTE last June to lift crippling sanctions in exchange for a $1 billion fine and a restructuring of the company’s leadership. The decision was widely panned by Trump’s advisers and Republican allies in Congress. The Senate swiftly voted to block the deal, arguing that ZTE is a national security threat, but both chambers of Congress later agreed to drop an effort to derail the deal. Trump followed up in July 2018 by lifting the ban on ZTE just three months after it was enforced.

The health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar II,
directly warned Mr. Trump of the possibility of a pandemic during a call on
Jan. 30, the second warning he delivered to the president about the virus in
two weeks. Azar warned Trump that the virus could become a pandemic and that
China should be criticized for its lack of transparency, per the Times. The
president, who was on Air Force One while traveling for appearances in the
Midwest, responded that Mr. Azar was being alarmist. Trump dismissed Azar as
alarmist and rejected the idea of criticizing China.

A study was published in the medical journal JAMA, which found that found that
41% of the first 138 patients diagnosed at one hospital in Wuhan, China, were
presumed to be infected in that hospital. The study's results indicated that
the virus was very infectious. Some researchers were warning of the contagious
nature of the virus earlier in February as well.
In a series of tweets on February 7, Trump again praised the
Chinese President's handling of the crisis.
"Just had a long and very good conversation by phone
with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on
leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very
well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but he
will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus
hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in
China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation.
We are working closely with China to help!"
"I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you
know, we're working on the -- the problem, the virus. It's a -- it's a very
tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it
really well. We're helping wherever we can."
The Trump administration sends 18 tons of medical supplies
