    Quite surprised at how large this company is ... and the scope of its business.

    They have a media arm too...

    Conspicuously absent...

    Haven't they been given any guidance on how to approach this sensitive problem? A desperate dose of far-fetched whataboutism perhaps? The silence is deafening.

    CEFC China Energy was mentioned in one of the documents that was submitted as evidence to a New York court. It showed the firm offered US$2 million in donations to Chadian President Idriss Déby to help the needy as a symbol of its “sincere commitment” to the country.

    While the company’s chairman, Ye Jianming, was not named in the documents, the exhibits included a report from Ho to a “chairman Ye” relating to Ho’s meeting with Déby.

You are disposed of the moment the CCP thinks your utility is over. That is their way. So nope, no celebration.

    Poor guy ... cannot look into your eyes....

    Former Hong Kong home affairs minister Patrick Ho Chi-ping has been removed from the city’s register of medical practitioners for 12 months as a result of his conviction in the United States over a multimillion-dollar bribery plot involving African leaders.

    The decision followed a disciplinary hearing at the Medical Council of Hong Kong on Tuesday morning that was held without the presence of the 71-year-old ophthalmologist-turned-politician.
