In 2012 Hunter Biden and Devon Archer made contact with Chinese financier Jonathan Li, who ran the equity fund Bohai Capital. The trio discussed a plan to become partners in a new company, Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co. (BHR), that would invest Chinese capital outside the country. Eighty percent of the resulting company, Bohai Harvest, was controlled by Chinese state-owned interests.<ref>https://nypost.com/article/hunter-biden-china-timeline-business-ties/</ref>
On December 4, 2013, Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, and Hunter's daughter Finnegan visited Beijing.<ref>https://youtu.be/Eg6SP0ugUrk</ref> Joe Biden held a marathon five-hour meeting with CCP General Secretary [[Xi Jinping]]. Hunter Biden spent the time with Jonathan Li.<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/08/will-hunter-biden-jeopardize-his-fathers-campaign</ref> The Bidens walked away after this trip as 30% owners of a $1.5 billion investment fund, Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), a partnership between Bohai Capital and Rosemont Seneca. They offered nothing to the Chinese Comminists by way of consideration but their services as [[lobbyist]]s and door openers. Bohai Harvest Rosemont (BHR) was incorporated in [[Shanghai]] according to State Market Regulatory Administration records on December 16, 2013.<ref>[https://www.qcc.com/firm/1a7250b750eef9e9adbd39a6d97bee4d.html The State Administration for Industry and Commerce at the time]</ref>
====Peter Daszak, Shi Zhengli and the Wuhan lab====

Hunter Biden's Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners (RSTP) was a lead financial backer of Metabiota, a [[pandemic]] tracking and response firm that partnered with [[Peter Daszak]]’s EcoHealth Alliance and the [[Wuhan Institute of Virology]]. Among the companies listed on archived versions of the firm’s portfolio is Metabiota, a [[San Francisco]]-based company that purports to detect, track, and analyze emerging infectious diseases, according to ''The National Pulse''.<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/hunter-biden-invested-in-ecohealth-wuhan-partner/</ref> Financial reports reveal that RSTP led the company’s first round of funding, which amounted to $30 million. Former Managing Director and co-founder of RSTP Neil Callahan – a name that appears many times on Hunter Biden’s hard drive – also sits on Metabiota’s Board of Advisors.
Since 2014, Metabiota has been a partner of EcoHealth Alliance as part of the [[U.S. Agency for International Development]]’s (USAID) “PREDICT” project, which seeks to “predict and prevent global emerging disease threats.” As part of this effort, researchers from Metabiota, EcoHealth Alliance, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborated on a study relating to bat infectious diseases in China. “Sensitive and broadly reactive RT-PCR assays were performed at Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,” the paper notes.
Among the researchers listed is [[Shi Zhengli]], the Wuhan lab director. The disgraced [[Peter Daszak]] is also listed as an author.
Beyond the ties to EcoHealth Alliance, Metabiota has also been embroiled in controversy for “bungling” America’s response to Ebola.
{{quotebox-float|“An American company that bills itself as a pioneer in tracking emerging epidemics made a series of costly mistakes during the 2014 Ebola outbreak that swept across West Africa — with employees feuding with fellow responders, contributing to misdiagnosed Ebola cases and repeatedly misreading the trajectory of the virus,” an Associated Press (AP) investigation into the company found. The company reportedly made the “already chaotic situation worse,” prompting [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) officials to criticize the company: "Emails obtained by AP and interviews with aid workers on the ground show that some of the company’s actions made an already chaotic situation worse."<ref>https://apnews.com/article/46328e561bfb44b99b2e6937835be957</ref>}}
WHO outbreak expert Dr. Eric Bertherat wrote to colleagues in a July 17, 2014, email about misdiagnoses and “total confusion” at the [[Sierra Leone]] government lab Metabiota shared with [[Tulane University]] in the city of Kenema. He said there was “no tracking of the samples” and “absolutely no control on what is being done.” “This is a situation that WHO can no longer endorse,” he wrote.
