This shit has been going on for many many years. It is likely a counter punch thrown at China, who appears to be taking liberties with Biden far greater than Biden can plausibly hide from the public. An attempt to save face, as it were; similar to how the Chinese respond.

It kind of reminds me of Goodfellas...that restaurant owner partners with Pauley for protection against Tommy. Except he ends up getting fucked anyways. Pauley runs up the restaurant's credit selling shit out the back door for pennies on the dollar. Then they end up torching the place in an insurance scam once the credit runs out.

Biden bends over for China to give access for cash. But because they have proof he grabs his ankles for them, he cannot control the scope of their access without jeopardizing himself. The shit they have been doing appears to be just humiliating the guy. And they know that even with Biden gone, they have succeeded in compromising enough of our government that the others will not come to his defense.

I predict some real bad shit about Biden and China coming out as a retaliatory move for Biden not staying on the reservation here and continuing to grab the ankles for the CCP. This will not be received well by them.
