>>> The Kushner family real-estate company is busy cashing in on Jared's membership in the Trump family/administration. On May 6, 2017, in the Beijing Ritz-Carlton, Jared's sister Nicole Meyer made a presentation to Chinese investors, asking them to buy into a highrise development in New Jersey. To sweeten the deal, investors who cough up at least half a million dollars get fast-tracked green cards (i.e. permanent residency in the US) in a program overseen by - as they pointed out - daddy Trump. To make it even more clear that this is about buying US residency by giving the Kushners huge sums of money, the event's brochure read: “Invest $500,000 and immigrate to the United States.”
Even though the ballroom pitch was publicly advertised, reporters were physically removed, and the Washington Post's Beijing reporter was forced to delete audio, video, and photos of the event.
It's obvious that those involved didn't want us to see any of this, so on this page you'll find documentation in the form of tweets, photos, video, articles, and an ad. (I have screenshots of all embedded tweets and accompanying photos, in case any get deleted.)

They tried to force me to leave, then grabbed my phone. I could only get it back if I agreed to delete all recordings and videos.

Although Jared's sister usually goes by the name Nicole Meyer - as shown in her LinkedIn profile - everything related to this pitch identified her as Nicole Kushner Meyer.
The Online Ad
The big, flashy web ad for the investment pitch is here.
In case it disappears, I've archived it in archive.is and the Wayback Machine, and have made a PDF and a screenshot (below).

The same basic event took place the next day, May 7, at the Four Seasons in Shanghai. A giant image of Trump was in the lobby. Photo by the Associated Press. An article on that pitch is here.
