Biden DOE Called CCP Official Before Releasing Petroleum Reserves

By Catherine Salgado

A new report says that Biden’s Energy Secretary called up a top Chinese Communist Party (CCP) energy official before the Biden administration released America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) in late 2021. Aside from the ostensible goal of lowering gas prices (even while the Biden administration wrecked America’s energy independence), the Biden administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) was helping out the murderous CCP, our number one enemy.

You see, China has actually increased its own reserves. “As a result, China may now control the world’s largest stockpile of oil, with total crude inventories estimated at 950 million barrels,” Fox said. Not to mention the fact that China is also increasing its coal mining for reliable energy, while the Biden administration is pushing toward increased green energy, which is toxic, unprofitable, and unreliable. And that doesn’t even address the fact that the Biden administration has also sold millions of barrels of oil to Chinese state-run companies.

Our SPR is currently at its lowest level since August 1983, per Fox. It’s insane when one realizes just how deliberate our energy crisis is, how we could be energy independent and were under Donald Trump. It’s an unnecessary and deliberately induced problem.

The CCP told its people in 2019 that it was entering a war phase with the US, and it has been openly hostile toward the US every single day since. But the Chinese puppet Biden regime is happy to collude with those plotting America’s destruction.

“[Fox News Digital, August 4] Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm engaged in multiple conversations with the Chinese government’s top energy official days before the Biden administration announced it would tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to combat high gas prices in 2021.

Granholm’s previously-undisclosed talks with China National Energy Administration Chairman Zhang Jianhua — revealed in internal Energy Department calendars obtained by Americans for Public Trust (APT) and shared with Fox News Digital — reveal that the Biden administration likely discussed its plans to release oil from the SPR with China before its public announcement.

According to the calendars, Granholm spoke in one-on-one conversations with Jianhua, who is a longstanding senior member of the Chinese Communist Party, on Nov. 19, 2021, and two days later on Nov. 21, 2021. Then, on Nov. 23, 2021, the White House announced the release of 50 million barrels of oil from the SPR, the largest release of its kind in U.S. history at the time.

‘Secretary Granholm’s multiple closed-door meetings with a CCP-connected energy official raise serious questions about the level of Chinese influence on the Biden administration’s energy agenda,’ APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland told Fox News Digital.”

The Biden regime is claiming that the meetings with the CCP were about climate change. China is the world’s biggest polluter, the Biden administration admitted. While countries led by officials who clearly don’t believe their own climate rhetoric (like China and the U.S.) love to blather about the fake climate crisis, we all know that the Biden administration lies about everything. If they said the meetings were about climate change, there’s a good chance they’re hiding something. Plus, there’s this:

“As part of its announcement in November 2021, the White House said it was releasing oil from U.S. reserves in conjunction with ‘other major energy consuming nations including China.’ However, President Biden said in remarks after the announcement that China ‘may do more as well and Granholm told reporters during a press briefing that China ‘will make its own announcement.’”

Sounds as if the Biden regime knew something.

We know the Biden family has received millions of dollars from China. We also know now that Joe Biden was aware of and even possibly participated in his son Hunter’s calls with various shady foreign associates, including Chinese associates. The illegitimate Biden administration is dancing to the tune of the CCP piper, and American citizens are paying for it.
