The FBI debriefing notes of John Huang, that were kept secret by the Justice Department for almost a year, revealed that China Resources also financed a Lippo-organized trip to Asia by then-governor Bill Clinton in 1985. Shen Jueren, the Communist official who heads China Resources, and Li Ka-shing, owner of Hutchinson Whampoa that owns the Panama Ports Company, are both partners in the Riady family's Hong Kong Chinese Bank, where Chinese spy John Huang started his career. He later advanced to a sensitive position with security clearance (without a background check) in the Clinton administration. James Riady helped Clinton get elected in both 1992 and 1996. President Clinton must have been aware of all this when two weeks ago he said that he would be "very surprised if any adverse consequences flowed from the Chinese running the Canal." Last week he claimed the Canal would be run by Panama. The House Government Reform and Oversight Committee under Chairman Dan Burton this week will conduct hearings on "The Role of John Huang and the Riady Family in Political Fundraising."
