The son-in-law of US President Donald Trump is calling on the Chinese wealthy to immigrate to the United States.

Representatives from Jared Kushner’s family held an event in the ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton in the Chinese capital Beijing on Saturday in an effort to make Chinese “invest $500,000 and immigrate to the United States."

Volunteers can invest in a real estate project in the US stated of New Jersey, dubbed Kushner 1, and get an investor visa.

“This project has stable funding, creates sufficient jobs and guarantees the safety of investors’ money,” read a description of the project, according to The Washington Post.

In the event, there was no reference to Kushner’s family ties with Trump but promotional materials made sure to highlight his "celebrity" status.

There were also efforts at the event, hosted by the Chinese company Qiaowai, to limit access to the media.

"Even though this is the project of the son-in-law's family, of course it is still affiliated," said Wang Yun, an investor attending the event. “We heard that there are rumors that he (Trump) is the most likely to be impeached president in American history. That’s why I doubt this project.”

In the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, Trump repeatedly accused China of "raping our country," vowing to bring jobs back to the US.
