section called addressing threat to liberal international order, russia and vladamir putin are mentioneds threat to liberal international order, but china, who is committing genocide is not mentioned. so all this aroused susspicions and we decided to get a closer look at university of pennsylvania and ties to china. we took a look at text messages from hunter biden laptop and found messages between professor at penn's department to naomi biden. dear naomi, i want to invite you to take part in a major conference in china at end of march, i have been asked to recruit a prominent young leader. they will fly you business class and supply your accommodations, they are interested in you thanks to your family name. i would not take offense to that, better you than tiffany trump, if you are interested, can you send me a bio, i would forward that and expect a formal invitation. pretty remarkable. that has not been previously reported, as far as we know. employee of university of pennsylvania, ivy league school, sending an invitation on behalf of the chinese communist party to recruit joe biden's
