Ivanka Trump Wins China Trademarks, Then Her Father Vows to Save ZTE
BEIJING — China this month awarded Ivanka Trump seven new trademarks across a broad collection of businesses, including books, housewares and cushions.
At around the same time, President Trump vowed to find a way to prevent a major Chinese telecommunications company from going bust, even though the company has a history of violating American limits on doing business with countries like Iran and North Korea.
Mr. Trump said in a surprise announcement on May 13 that he was working with China’s president, Xi Jinping, to save jobs at the Chinese telecommunications company, ZTE. The company was left paralyzed after American officials forbade companies in the United States from selling their chips, software and other goods to ZTE for violating trade controls.
Just before and after that announcement, Ms. Trump won some long-sought trademarks covering her name in China.
Six days before the ZTE announcement, China said it approved five of Ms. Trump’s trademarks, according to data from China’s trademark office. Then, on May 21, China awarded Ms. Trump two more trademarks in snacks, spices and bleaching preparations. In total, Ms. Trump now has 34 trademarks in China that would allow her to capitalize on her brand in the world’s second-largest economy.
To all the consevatives who complained about Hunter Biden: does this bother you as well? This article was written a year before Hunter Biden became a topic among conservatives.
The article mentions this could be a coincidence; but a Republican-lead investigation found no wrongdoing with Hunter Biden in Ukraine...and conservatives still raised hell about it.
So again: why aren't conservatives bothered by Ivanka like they were with Biden?

"Ukraine found no evidence against Hunter Biden in case audit"
Every Republican I know STILL thinks Hillary should be in prison despite every investigator refusing to bring charges. Every time I hear them rail about it, I hear the banjos in the background. Pretty soon it'll be every time I hear Jim Jordan speak.

MINSK, Belarus (AP) — Ukrainian lawmakers voted no confidence in the country’s top prosecutor Thursday after the prime minister, foreign minister and defense minister all were replaced in a government shakeup this week.
The parliament vote took place after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka as ineffective. The president leveled similar criticism against the now-former prime minister.
The director of Ukraine’s state investigative bureau alleged that Ryaboshapka had blocked probes of hundreds of cases in the corruption-riddled country.

If this was such a bad thing why did the democrat house, who could have stopped it, allow it?
