President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign released a brutal campaign ad attacking Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday over his record, as well as comments on China.
The ad hit Biden on numerous complimentary remarks that he has made on China in the past, and on his overall dismissal of the notion that China is a threat to the United States.
The ad ties in the current coroanvirus pandemic, which originated in China, and highlights how Biden repeatedly said that implementing travel restrictions would not stop the virus.
WATCH:
When @realDonaldTrump took action to halt travel from China to slow the spread of #COVID19, #SleepyJoe said he was wrong & called him a racist.
Now he says Trump was right 🤔

The Wall Street Journal highlighted the business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in China:
Hunter Biden, a 49-year-old lawyer and the second son of the former vice president, owns 10% of a private-equity firm called Bohai Harvest RST (Shanghai) Equity Investment Fund Management Co.
Over the past roughly six years, it has channeled $2.5 billion or more on behalf of its financial backers into automotive, energy, mining and technology deals, according to interviews with people familiar with the private-equity firm and a review by The Wall Street Journal of financial filings and other official business records.
Hunter Biden is one of nine directors of the firm, known as BHR Partners, which is controlled and funded primarily by large Chinese government-owned shareholders.
A report from CNBC from last year noted that “the fact that getting these high-paying jobs and positions is often 100 percent legal isn’t a reason to be less concerned. It’s a reason to be more outraged.”
