Biden declared in his book, titled Beautiful Things, that “I became a proxy for Donald Trump’s fear that he wouldn’t be reelected. He pushed debunked conspiracy theories about work I did in Ukraine and China.”
Anxieties of Biden got broader attention in late 2020 after many outlets reported that he is being federally investigated in connection with his taxes and possibly related to his overseas dealings with China. Although he dedicated a chapter to maintaining his work for Burisma, he largely avoided the controversy encompassing his attempted Chinese deal-making.
Biden wrote that in 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden asked his son's teenage daughter to accompany him on Air Force Two to Japan and then to Beijing, where he was meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Hunter Biden announced he tagged along to China to spend time with his father and daughter. Back then, Hunter Biden was working with Devon Archer at Rosemont Seneca, and “our deal with the biggest potential was a partnership with a Chinese private equity fund seeking to invest Chinese capital in companies outside the country.”

Hunter Biden wrote, “While we were in Beijing, Dad met one of Devon’s Chinese partners, Jonathan Li, in the lobby of the American delegation’s hotel, just long enough to say hello and shake hands.” He cried, “Trump declared I walked out of China with $1.5 billion. … The actual amount raised before that trip to China: $4.2 million. I had no equity in the company at the time and only bought a 10 percent stake after my father left office.”

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked in early February regarding statements that Hunter Biden still owned a 10% stake in the Chinese investment company formed with state-owned entities, and she stated he “has been working to unwind his investment.” Two Chinese business websites operated by Baidu and Qixin appear to show a limited liability corporation, Skaneateles, as still having Hunter Biden as a “sponsor/shareholder” with 3 million yuan invested in the company, purportedly comprising the 10% stake in the venture.

Members of the Secret Service tried to retrieve gun paperwork from a Wilmington, Delaware, gun store in October 2018 after a firearm owned by Hunter Biden went missing, according to a Politico article in March — another incident not specified in Hunter’s memoir. According to a police document, Hallie Biden took the .38-caliber revolver and put it in a public trash can near Janssen’s Market in Wilmington. Hunter Biden instructed her to go reclaim it, though it was no longer in the trash. Local police were notified, and the gun was soon recovered.
