胡錦濤借中國人錢比納米比亞買自己個仔胡海峰公司的產品，大家有咩感想？

更奇怪係納米比亞呢個亞非拉友國向我國借錢竟然仲大做文章，莫非佢地比我國更重法治？

更更更奇怪係，中國有納稅人竟然話，”美國佬都係咁啦!!” 好似佢唔使納稅兼有份分咁。Well, 我無言以對，唯有話美國人可以選總統，美國可以容納 Michael Moore，撐兩咀打圓場 ….

各位兄弟，此風於我國已是正常狀態，並已經吹到香港多時，大家執生啊 …

Hu Jintao’s son linked to Namibia graft

Rowan Callick, Asia-Pacific editor | July 21, 2009

THE son of Chinese President Hu Jintao has been dragged into a corruption scandal in Africa involving a security scanning company, Nuctech, which he headed until last year.

The Anti-Corruption Commission in Namibia believes corruption was involved in a $69 million deal the Namibian government agreed with Nuctech for scanners for its ports and airports.

The commission has arrested Chinese citizen Yang Fan, Nuctech’s African representative, and two influential Namibians, Teckla Lameck and Kongo Mokaxwa, who own a consulting company, Teko Trading, with which Nuctech has signed contracts. They are all being held in custody.

The commission’s director, Paulus Noah, says he wants to question the Chinese leader’s son, Hu Haifeng, as a witness, to learn about the business practices of the company, originally called the Nuclear Technology Company.

“Of course, if he can make himself available, I will be happy,” Mr Noah said. “I would like to know how they do business in China.”

China provided the funding for the scanning equipment on the condition the contract was awarded to Nuctech.

It is being alleged in The Namibian newspaper, that $5 million was channelled through Teko Trading to political players in the country as a reward after the contract was confirmed.

The Namibian High Court has placed a restraint order on a range of assets, including houses, cars and money in banks, alleged to have been obtained as a result of corruption involving the deal. This prevents the assets from being sold or moved while the order remains in effect.

Mr Hu, aged 38, was president of the company until being promoted to party secretary — and thus overall boss — of Tsinghua Holdings, which was founded six years ago to oversee the operations of a group of state-owned high-tech companies spun out of Qinghua University in Beijing, one of China’s most prestigious universities.

President Hu attended the science powerhouse Qinghua University, from which his son gained a master’s degree in engineering physics.

Nuctech’s troubles in Namibia demonstrate the potential downside of China’s strategy of zou chu qu — go global.

This is designed to obtain access to strategic resources internationally and to accelerate the growth of Chinese businesses into global corporations.

But it exposes Chinese companies to the risk of getting into trouble for operating in ways which, while routine at home, may be deemed corrupt overseas.

Within China, the taizi — princelings or children of the communist party elite — are almost guaranteed immunity from questioning by the party’s disciplinary commission, and are beyond the reach of the state’s legal apparatus.

They frequently return from overseas education, especially in the US, with business qualifications and swiftly take leading roles in core state-dominated strategic sectors of the economy.

Members of the family of former premier Li Peng are prominent in power generation, while the son of former president Jiang Zemin is prominent in telecommunications, and the son of former premier Zhu Rongji is running the China International Capital Corp.

But “going global” exposes them to the kind of risks now becoming apparent in Namibia — in a story echoing around Africa.

Nuctech became well-known within China when on the eve of the Beijing Olympic Games last year it won the contract to provide the ticket scanning equipment for the capital’s greatly expanded subway network.

The company had earlier won a multi-billion- dollar tender to supply 147 Chinese airports with security scanners. It has exported its products to more than 40 countries, including to the Australian Customs Service.

A deal with The Philippines Customs Bureau — for which financing was to be provided by China’s Export-Import Bank, and which also involved the Bank of China, both state-owned institutions — proceeded despite controversy about the lack of a tenders procedure.
