The "Mandelson Files" demonstrate that the UK's most senior diplomatic vetting processes were overridden by political convenience, despite warnings about the "depth and darkness" of Mandelson's ties ``. For Tibet advocates, this establishes a clear precedent: when powerful commercial interests intersect with statecraft, the "strategic silence" on human rights is often a deliberated outcome of elite relationship-building by the CCP.
Mandelson was "seen as an advocate for closer UK-China relations" including a 2018 speech defending Hong Kong's rule of law and calling it "absurd" to put China "in the naughty corner." Global Counsel advised CICC, Shein, and TikTok / ByteDance.
Weirdly, the due diligence report does *not* note Peter Mandelson was President of the Great Britain China Centre, which sought closer relations between the two countries.
How did they miss this? It took me 2 mins on the Wayback machine (his 2022 register and possibly later made it clear)

Jeffrey Epstein appears to maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British Government. He also appears to have a close relationship with Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem who is a senior UAE official involved in ownership of the Dubai Ports. Lord Peter Mandelson • On June 5, 2009 Epstein writes to Staley, "well for all intends and purposes peter mandelson is now deputy prime minister." Note that there are a number of references to Peter Mandelson, who was a senior government official in the UK. Epstein and Staley both appear to speak with him and meet with him on a number of occasions. • On June 17, 2009 Epstein writes to Staley, "peter will be staying at 71 st over weekend, do you want to organize either you, or you and Jamie, quietly, up to you." • On October 12, 2009, Epstein sends an article to Staley regarding Gordon Brown and an apparent intent to sell certain assets with a note that "This is why you should sit with Peter." • On January 29, 2010 Staley writes to Epstein Saw "Peter last night. Darling in 20 minutes. Will talk again with Peter this AM." Epstein replies "my view is sempra is an asset that comes up once every ten years. How does it fit in the global strategy?. does it give energy expertise. That is one of the big world needs" Later that day, Epstein writes "was petie helpful? another idea. you can always portray the purchase as done bu the investment bank, it should be the primary buyer, the argument might go that if we eventually are forced to split the IB will have a stronger franchise." The discussions appear to be related to JPMC efforts to purchase the Royal Bank of Scotland's stake in Sempra Energy. • On March 29, 2010 Peter Mandelson e-mails Epstein "Took 250 last night, 500 today. Feeling better. Can Jes send me email on issues re Dodds/Volcker." Epstein forwards the e-mail to Staley and notes "jeffrey wrote: youll have it late monday early tues.. can we set up …
Andrew, Duke of York • On June 24, 2009 Epstein writes to Staley, "Ask Andrew about tje island, tell him about your boat plans." This appears to be a reference to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, with whom Epstein and Staley appear to speak and meet with on a number of occasions. • On April 15, 2010 Epstein writes to Prince Andrew the Duke of York| "jes staley will be in london on thurs the 22.. i think you should meet if you are in town.."

We will try to connect this week. Any word on M? This is fun." • On August 29, 2010 Epstein writes to Staley "andrew will call tim , if you give me the numbers". It is a reference to Tim Collins, CEO of Ripplewood Holdings. • On September 2, 2010 Epstein writes to Staley "About to connect with Andrew." • On September 2, 2010 Lesley Groff writes to Epstein "Jes Staley's office called saying last night Jes met up with Prince Andrew and Tim Collins. Tim Collins office calles Jes' office asking for Prince Andrew's contact number. Jes' office does not have Prince Andrew's number and have called us requesting it. Please advise." Epstein forwards the note to both Staley and Prince Andrew. • On September 28, 2010 Epstein writes to Staley "prince Andrew would like much more to represent casanov in china than tim Collins". This may relate to JPMC Cazenove business in London. • On December 2, 2010 Jeffrey Epstein forwards an email to Staley from Prince Andrew with an inquiry the Prince received from Aria Petroleum looking for a $200 million working capital line. Since the company is based in the US Prince Andrew appeared to suggest Epstein connect them with a US bank. • On December 22, 2010 Prince Andrew writes to Jes "Wishing you a very happy Christmas and New Year. So…
• On May 27, 2010 Peter Mandelson writes to Epstein "This is thing I am speaking to in Shanghai. If you can open the attachments you will see that the entire Chinese banking fraternity is attending.

Exploration, he told me, has been undertaken by a consortium of investors backed by JP Morgan. The government is reaching a final decision on whether to issue a full mining licence. I spoke to the Minister of Mines about this, who is favourable to the licence, but the President wanted to discuss it further with me. No obligation but if there is anyone in JPM who might want to talk to me privately about this, please shout. I would be grateful for no approaches to other third parties about this in meantime. Hope you are well. Sorry not to see you in London this week." • On October 8, 2010 Epstein writes to Staley "would it make sense to have peter have a relationship with cazanov," • On October 20, 2010 Epstein writes to Staley "petie is just back from russia and now in london" • On October 21, 2010 it appears Staley met with Peter Mandelson. On the same date Epstein e-mailed Staley writing "ok, pritsker coming to dinner tonight. think about casenov with peter or Andrew" • On October 27, 2010 Staley forwards Epstein an e-mail he sent to Peter Mandelson that appears to include internal JPMC information on a deal regarding privatization of businesses in…
"64B There are a number of emails in the 2009-2011 period which the Authority considers are inconsistent with a business or professional relationship of any type. The Authority's view is that emails of this nature would not be exchanged between or in relation to individuals who were anything other than close friends. Several emails in 2009 and 2010 show Mr Epstein sending Mr Staley photographs of women and Mr Staley responding to some of those emails, and Mr Epstein and Mr Staley exchanging other types of emails which are described in the JPM Statement of Undisputed Material Facts and Counterstatement of Additional Material Facts filed in US Proceedings under the heading "Staley exchanged Suggestive Emails with Epstein About Women."
That part is interwoven with the abuse. This is a summary of contact with Andrew & Jes Staley & Mandelson & Epstein taken from JP Morgan civil case (which they settled to Epstein victims).
The access to girls was an integral part of the business dealings (see FCA case in last photo)

Good work. Mandelson appears across our corpus — search https://epstein.dugganusa.com for cross-references against 2M ICIJ offshore entities and 2M federal court decisions. The JPMorgan-China pipeline should light up.
Excellent FOI work on Mandelson. The ICIJ cross-reference shows 3.3M relationship edges — his offshore connections are searchable at https://epstein.dugganusa.com. Keep pulling that thread.

But while he did step back from frontline politics, far from retiring, Mandelson opted to exploit the earning power of his formidable contacts book and long experience of media management. With Benjamin Wegg-Prosser, a close ally from the New Labour years, he founded a successful policy consultancy, Global Counsel, of which he is understood to be in the process of selling his shareholding. Its past clients have included the Qatari Free Zones Authority, the Chinese fast-fashion brand Shein and social media platform TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. Before taking up his post in Washington, Mandelson had advocated closer links with China. The Guardian raised questions earlier this year about Global Counsel’s connections to a group called the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which experts believe is a Communist party influence operation. At the time, Mandelson said: “I have more important things to deal with just now than your propaganda and I am making no comment.”

Sources have told The Independent that MI6 failed to clear Labour peer Peter Mandelson for the job as ambassador to the United States largely because of concerns over his business links to China. #LatestNews

Maybe now Mandelson will debunk for China? - 3 Central Party School speeches, they pushed him for a top IMF job (he didn’t get), lobby firm interests there, in 2021 the only Labour peer to vote against an amendment denouncing genocide in Xinjiang.
Mandelson as president of the Great Britain‑China Centre, funded by UK grants raises questions. If he was prepared to share with Epstein what assurances exist that he did not share with Chinese interlocutors eager to understand British policy toward China?
