There was a lot of disinformation about Joe and Hunter Biden during the 2020 election campaign. A lot of it had to do with China. There were various lies that one of the two - or both of them - had received millions - even billions - from China in exchange for... unspecified... things...
None of those claims were ever proven. There were a lot of them though. They came and went so fast you probably forgot most of them. But that doesn't even matter. The title and the meme don't bother making a specific claim. Calling the President "Beijing Brandon" and picturing him as Xi Jinping's pet isn't something you can debunk. You cannot debunk name-calling.
The majority of `r/WalkAway` users probably don't remember which completely debunked accusation "convinced" them that this lie is true. It's just something they "know" to be true because they hate Biden. The accusation has been repeated so many times at them that it rings true even though there was never any evidence.
This is the "conservative" way of "proving" things: Repeat your lie until people remember it! Once people remember the lie it becomes true enough. Dank memes are the perfect vehicles for such a lie. Arguments, statement of facts, statistics, etc. can be refuted. Dank memes cannot. If you call out the lie in a dank meme, they will smugly tell you that it was "[just a joke](https://www.radicalrightanalysis.com/2018/08/29/just-joking-is-no-joke-how-the-alt-right-really-communicates-online/)" and that you have no sense of humor. They're still lying though. And it wasn't funny the first time.

There isn't a shred of evidence that Xi Jinping "owns" Joe Biden. Yet it has become "common knowledge" among "conservatives" because Reddit has allowed this lie to fester for over a year. You have allowed this lie to be repeated so many times that it now rings true to people who never fact-check anything. It's time to take this lie down. It's time to ban that disinformation superspreader. It's time to ban that disinformation sub! Well, way past time, actually.
