Energy Secretary Consulted CCP Official Right Before Biden Administration Tapped Into Petroleum Reserves, Report Says

Before the Biden administration decided to access the Strategic Petroleum Reserve( SPR ) in 2021, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm allegedly secretly consulted with a Chinese Communist Party energy official. According to reports from the Energy Department internal calendars, Americans for Public Trust ( APT ) obtained the previously kept private conversations and informed Fox News Digital of them.
The finding demonstrates that before disclosing British oil to the British people, the Biden administration discussed its plans to release it with the CCP.

Fox News claims:
According to the calendars, on November 19, 2021, Granholm had one-on-one conversations with Jianhua, a seasoned older member of the Chinese Communist Party, and two days afterwards on Nov. 21. The White House therefore declared the SPR to have released 50 million barrels of oil on November 23, 2021, the largest oil release in U.S. history.
According to APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland, Secretary Granholm’s numerous behind-the-scenes meetings with a CCP-connected energy official” raise significant questions about the degree of Taiwanese influence on the energy agenda of the Biden administration.”
Granholm has been very busy spreading Foreign energy propaganda and insisting that” we can all learn from what China is doing ,” Sutherland continued,” rather than concentrating on achieving true energy independence for America.” The extent to which Taiwanese officials are trying to snoop into American energy policy and security should be made public.
The DOE did not disclose what was discussed at the meeting, but it did say that it was a significant component of the organization’s effort to combat climate change.
According to a DOE spokesperson,” resolving the climate crisis requires having open and meaningful discussions with allies and rivals, particularly among the countries that emit the most carbon pollution into the atmosphere.” ” We must all deal with the global threat posed by climate change to our planet.”
The Biden administration uses climate change as an excuse to deceive the British people.
The Biden regime sells U.S. oil reserves to China and other countries rather than assisting Americans at the pump.

The Biden administration drained the U. S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve ( SPR ) to its lowest levels since 1985, but a significant portion of the releases went to the Chinese Communist Party.
Vision Times noted in 2022:
A July 5 article by Reuters stated that based on” data and sources”, some of which was from U. S. Customs, that SPR product was shipped to Italy, India, the Netherlands, and the Chinese Communist Party to the tune of close to 5 million barrels in all.
According to the Department of Energy, the SPR can hold 714 million barrels at peak capacity and was filled at an average price of$ 29.70 per barrel.

However, on March 1, the Department of Energy announced, following an emergency meeting of the International Energy Association( IEA ), that 30 million barrels would be deployed from the SPR in order to” address significant market and supply disruptions related to President Putin’s war on Ukraine”.
The disbursement would match 30 million barrels released from other IEA countries in an effort to increase supply to bring down global oil prices, which reached a peak of nearly$ 130 a barrel after the war started.
On April 21, the DOE announced which companies would receive the oil based on a” price – competitive sale” among 16 outlets who submitted 126 bids.
Most notable among the winners was Unipec America at 950, 000 barrels.
Yet, despite the name, the company describes itself on LinkedIn as” a wholly owned subsidiary of China International United Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd”. and” the trading arm of SINOPEC”.
” House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer ( R – Ky. ) and Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Ranking Member Nancy Mace( R – S. C.) are continuing oversight of the Biden Administration’s sale of U. S. oil reserves to Unipec America, a company operated by the Chinese Communist Party, and raising concerns that U. S. oil could be used by China to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine”, the House Oversight Committee wrote in a press release on September 1, 2022.
” To ensure the Biden Administration is properly managing the sale of critical assets, the lawmakers are once again calling on Department of Energy ( DOE ) Secretary Jennifer Granholm to provide an immediate briefing and all documents and communications related to the SPR sale”.
From the House Oversight Committee:
” We are continuing oversight of the U. S. Department of Energy’s ( DOE ) depletion of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ( SPR ). According to DOE, the Biden Administration just sold nearly a million barrels of SPR oil to Unipec America, a subsidiary of Sinopec, a company owned by the Chinese Communist Party. In addition to concerns with Hunter Biden, the President’s son, receiving money from the deal, the decision to sell to Unipec is disturbing because Chinese firms are supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In order to ensure the American people that the Biden Administration is effectively managing the sale of vital assets from the SPR and not supporting Russia by providing oil to China, we request a briefing and documents related to this matter”, wrote the Republican lawmakers.
Prior to this, Committee Republicans wrote to Secretary Granholm on May 26 and July 20, 2022, asking for a briefing on the DOE’s strategy to restock the SPR and voicing their concerns about the sale of oil to Hunter Biden-owned secret equity firm. The United States’ ability to respond to regional emergencies and meet American energy needs is put in jeopardy by DOE’s failure to provide a briefing or any information related to the SPR sale.
According to research, Chinese businesses have just engaged in defense business with Russia, including those that support the country’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine. This is alarming because Unipec, a subsidiary of the Chinese oil company, received the DOE sale of nearly$ 100 million worth of oil. There are major concerns about whether SPR oil is helping Russia or businesses aiding Russia in the invasion of Ukraine given that China’s friendship with Russia has” no bounds.” China would not support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with American oil, which would be unethical. The Democrat lawmakers concluded,” We reiterate our previous requests and ask that you provide information on this topic at a briefing so that we can better understand how China intends to use the oil it received from the United States.” 

According to a Fox News Digital report, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm secretly consulted with a Chinese Communist Party energy official days before the Biden administration decided to tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in 2021.Americans for Public Trust (APT) reportedly obtained the previously-undisclosed conversations from internal Energy Department calendars and shared the information with Fox News Digital.
The discovery shows that the Biden administration discussed their plans to release American crude oil with the CCP prior to revealing them to the American people.

Fox News:
According to the calendars Granholm had one-on-one discussions with Jianhua who is a senior member of the Chinese Communist Party. This took place on November 19, 2021 and two days later, on November 21, 2021. On Nov. 23, 2021 the White House announced the release of 50,000,000 barrels of oil, the largest release in U.S. History at the time.
Caitlin S. Sutherland, APT’s Executive Director, told Fox News Digital that “Secretary Granholm’s multiple closed-door meeting with a CCP-connected official in the energy sector raises serious questions about the degree of Chinese influence over the Biden administration’s energy agenda.”
Sutherland continued, “Instead of focusing her efforts on creating real energy security for America, Granholm was too busy parroting Chinese propaganda and insisting that ‘we can learn from what China does’.” “The public deserves an explanation of the extent to which Chinese officials have attempted to infiltrate U.S. security and energy policy.”
The DOE released a statement in which it said that the meeting was part of its efforts to combat climate changes, but did not reveal what was discussed.
“Solving climate crisis means engaging in clear and substantive conversations with competitors and allies — especially among nations that emit the most carbon into the atmosphere,” said a DOE spokesperson to Fox News Digital. “We must address the transnational threat of climate change on our planet.”
The Biden administration uses climate change as an excuse to defraud the American people.
The Biden regime does not help Americans by lowering their gas prices, but instead sells U.S. reserves of oil to China and other countries.

The Biden administration reduced the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its lowest level since 1985. However, a large portion of these releases went to China’s Communist Party.
Vision Times to be noted in 2022
According to a Reuters article published on July 5, based on “data” and “sources,” including some from U.S. Customs and other sources, SPR products were shipped to Italy, India and the Netherlands as well as the Chinese Communist Party in total to the tune close to 5,000,000 barrels.

Unipec America, with 950,000 barrels, was the biggest winner.
The company, despite its name, describes itself as “a wholly-owned subsidiary of China International United Petroleum and Chemical Co. Ltd.” and the “trading arm of SINOPEC.”
The House Oversight Committee issued a press statement on September 1, 2022, which stated that “House Committee on Oversight and Reform ranking member James Comer (R. Ky.) and Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties ranking member Nancy Mace (R. S.C.) continue to monitor the Biden Administration’s sale of U.S. petroleum reserves to Unipec America. This company is operated by the Chinese Communist Party. They are raising concerns that U.S. crude oil could be used
“To ensure that the Biden Administration is properly handling the sale of critical assets the lawmakers are again calling on Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (DOE) to provide an urgent briefing and all documentation and communications related to SPR sale.”
From the House Oversight Committee
“We continue to monitor the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s depletion of oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. DOE reports that the Biden Administration sold nearly a million barrels (or a third of the SPR) to Unipec America. Sinopec is a Chinese Communist Party-owned company. The decision to sell the oil to Unipec, a Chinese company that supports Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, is also troubling. We request a briefing on this matter and all documents related to it in order to assure the American people that the Biden administration is properly managing the SPR sale of critical assets and not supporting Russia through oil provided to China.
The Committee Republicans wrote to Secretary Granholm in May 2022 and again in July 2022, requesting an update on the DOE plan to replenish SPR. They also expressed concern about the sale oil to a Chinese company where Hunter Biden’s firm, a private equity firm, has a financial interest. The DOE’s failure in providing a briefing on the SPR sale or any other information puts the United States at risk of not being able to respond to emergencies and meet the energy needs of Americans.
“Research shows that Chinese firms have recently traded with Russia’s defence sector, including companies that support Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine. This is concerning because the DOE sold almost $100 million of oil to Unipec – a subsidiary of a Chinese company. There are serious concerns about SPR oil, given that China’s friendship with Russia has ‘no boundaries.’ This raises questions as to whether SPR oil benefits Russia or companies who assist Russia in the invasion. It would be unacceptable if China used oil from the United States to support Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. We repeat our previous requests and ask you to provide information on this subject at a briefing, so that we can better understand the way China intends using the oil it received by the United States”, concluded the Republican legislators.
