Corruption? Bribery? Judicial Independance?
Posted by MyLaowai on Friday, July 24, 2009
The Chinese Communist Party, under the leadership of Chairman Hu Jintao, is warning Australia to keep out of China’s ‘internal affairs’ in the case of the Rio Tinto employess who are being held hostage for political reasons. China Daily, the Party mouthpiece, has had the following headlines recently:
Australia urged to treat Rio Tinto spy case ‘properly’
China urges Australia to respect judicial sovereignty
Australia urged to respect judicial sovereignty in Rio case
It seems the Chinese take a dim view of bribery and corruption, and want to be seen to be taking a hard stance. Strange, therefore, that all news of the Nuctech case is being blocked.
Wait, Nuctech? What’s that?
Chinese Govt. mum on $3.7 million fraud
THE Chinese Embassy has declined to comment on the $3.7 million X-Ray equipment fraud involving Chinese manufacturer Nuctech Company, despite the fact that it is headed by Hu Haifeng, the 38-year old son of Chinese President Hu Jintao.The official spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in Windhoek, who preferred to be named only as Mr. Yang told [the press] that the embassy was not prepared to say more than: “We will take the necessary steps.”
The charges are connected to a contract for the supply of security scanners to the Ministry of Finance. It was awarded to a Chinese company, Nuctech Company, and was marred by alleged corruption and the payment of kickbacks to the tune of as much as a third of the contract price of some $3.7 million.
Search engines in China, including Google Inc.’s local site, are blocking news on a graft case in Namibia involving a company once headed by the son of President Hu Jintao.
Hu Haifeng is the former president of Beijing-based Nuctech Co., a maker of security scanners involved in a corruption probe in Namibia. Investigators want to talk to him to get information about the company.
A search on Google’s Chinese Web site using the characters for “Hu Haifeng” and “Namibia” results in the following message in Chinese: “The search results may involve material that may not be in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, unable to display.”
The restrictions show the extent to which the government is working to contain news of the case, which may embarrass President Hu as he cracks down on official corruption. A Beijing court this month gave a suspended death sentence for bribery to Chen Tonghai, former chairman of China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., Asia’s largest refiner.
“Google’s operations in all countries worldwide must comply with local laws, regulations and policies,” said Marsha Wang, a Beijing-based spokeswoman for the company. Because of that, “some search results are not shown.”
MyLaowai calls on the Chinese Government to treat the Nuctech case properly, and to respect Namibia’s judicial independance. Oh yeah, and hand over Hu Jintao’s grubby-fingered boy at once.
Corruption in the Hu family? Like father, like son…

Will China respect Namibia’s judicial sovereignty ? Do “necessasry steps” include bribing Namibia officials to drop the case ? What does China has to hide by blocking internet searches involving “Namibia” ?

johnsmith: I think it makes no difference for Chinese censors if Nuctech is found guilty (and maybe Hu Haifeng somehow involved), if they can twist Namibia’s arms and are declared innocent, or if they are innocent. Many Chinese ppl (fenqings included) will judge from their own domestic experience if they learn about this matter, and consider Nuctech guilty as charged.

And the truth about Chinese Communists/Nationalists is that they are racist bastards who look upon Black Africans as an “inferior” race, DESPITE the obvious fact that the Chinese look more like monkeys than any Africans do. (Just look at the noses; monkeys have small noses like the Chinese…)
Ned Kelly said
PS, if anyone wants proof that Black Africans are racially SUPERIOR to the Chinese, then just compare Zhang Ziyi who has no ass http://underthejacaranda.wordpress.com/2009/01/10/zhang-ziyi-has-no-ass/ …
…compared to the Divine MISS CONGO! http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XYa-XN3kkCI/SNDofJO8TZI/AAAAAAAAARM/QxV-BooECWo/s320/miss+dr+congo.JPG
QED, the Han Chinese are a weak mutation of the Master Race of BLACK AFRICANS! ;-) And a day will come soon, when the Chinese will become slaves of Africans.

You call that an ass?
Look at this one: http://whgbetc.com/mind/hottentot_venus_cartoon2.jpg
But to be fair, trailer trash mamas are the real master race.

“The Chinese” don’t even look like each other. The truth is, Africans and Europeans are more related to chimps than Australoids or East Asians.
Australian Aborigines are therefore the master race.
MyFenwai said
Never mind. The Native Americans are the master race. They indeed do have many good qualities though, like high intelligence, strength, resistance to cancer, etc.

Grow up y’all. All this talk about which ‘race’ is superior is bullshit, and you know it.
There is only one race involved in this discussion, and it’s called Homo Sapiens Sapiens. You may feel free to discuss the relative merits of various cultures, but don’t make yourselves look like fools by going on about ‘race’.
Also, it’s a well established fact that few Chinese women have a decent rack, even fewer have an ass, and most of the men have a sunken chest and flat feet. That said, I can verify that I have, in my many years here, met a Chinese man who was handsome, and several Chinese women who were beautiful without being bitches. Mind you, that’s probably because Japanese tour groups passed this way in the middle of the 20th century.

Someone here has been bitch-slapped by a Dongbei woman. They don’t go for soft, limp, small, pink, AIDS infested dicks or maybe they’d date you, a white guy.
And don’t make me laugh about race not existing. Look at those links I provided- do some further research. It branches out like this…
Chimps < Pygmies < Other Africans < Caucasoids < Most Austrics < Pacific Islanders and Southern Amerinds < East Asians and Native Americans
MyFenwai said
That is just genetic affiliation, mind you. Please do not discriminate against our chimp or starfish brothers.

MLW,
Hillary Clinton, is that you?
Yes I desperately need to be instructed about racial equality. I ought to move to Britain where the government nannies will instruct me thoroughly on goodthinkfulness on pain of imprisonment.
MyFenwai said
I think Ned Kelley would agree that chimps, not Africans, are the real master race.

Howdy NK, don’t get me started on those do-gooder Poms :)

Hey, when was the last time you heard of an unsuccessful venture by the Princeling son/daughter of a CCP higher up??
These kids went to school 14 hours a day (in the same schools with all the other Princeling kids), did after school study sessions, mastered piano and violin, went abroad for advanced degrees (and foreign passports).
It’s obvious they were naturally destined to become loaded and successful through a capitalist system that rewards effort and ingenuity!
Nuff said!!
