The federal investigation has been cited as potential leverage for Beijing, but any proof of corruption linked to Chinese individuals or companies could be embarrassing too.

Ye was detained in China in 2018 and is facing corruption and bribery charges. These include suggestions that Ye had bribed Wang Sanyun, a former Communist Party secretary of Gansu province.

Jacques deLisle, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and an expert in Chinese politics, likewise said Beijing would probably want to steer clear of the partisan Hunter morass. China's anti-corruption program is about"making sure the right, and not the wrong, targets get hit," deLisle said."It's great to take out one's political enemies; not so nice if it hits one's own."

China's criticism of the U.S. is bigger than Trump versus Biden, regardless of GOP talking points claiming that Beijing supported the Democratic candidate."It's important to bear in mind here that the increasingly assertive and snarky Chinese indictment of the flaws of the U.S. system is just that—an indictment of flaws of the system, writ large," deLisle said.

"In general terms, I think it has to be viewed in the context of the delusional fantasies of Trump, his supporters and GOP officials that the election was rigged and that Biden's presidency is illegitimate," Manning added.

I seriously doubt that anything could humiliate China or Jinping.

Newsweek on the righteuos side as always

I’m not particularly worried about the pride of the People’s Republic of China. “Fiat justitia ruat cælum.”

I thought you were saying it was a conspiracy theory.
