The China connection to Hunter's art sales?

 Biz Pac Review:

The art dealer who is handling Hunter Biden’s work claimed in 2015 that he wanted to be the “lead guy in China,” a development that could pose new problems for the administration as it is likely to generate new criticisms about undue foreign influence from a competitor nation.

The dealer, Georges Berges, has discussed dealing with artists and buyers in China in the past, so handling Hunter Biden now that his father is president is likely to pose major ethics issues, especially since the White House is not being transparent regarding who is purchasing the artwork.

A spokesperson for Berges told Fox News earlier that all of Biden’s art sales are to be kept “confidential.” White House officials said the administration has a plan in place they say is designed to take care of the ethical concerns — namely, that Hunter Biden won’t know who the buyers are for his work. But that isn’t likely to satisfy the concerns of administration critics, especially after Hunter Biden turned heads recently when he announced he’ll show up at art shows attended by potential buyers of his work, which has been widely panned by art critics.

But it’s Berges’ comment about China six years ago that is causing new concerns.

“My plan is to be the lead guy in China; the lead collector and art dealer discovering and nurturing talent from that region,” Berges told Resident in 2015. “I plan to find and discover and bring to the rest of the world those I consider China’s next generation of modern artists.”

It sounds like another potential reason they want to keep the purchasers secret.
