-Caveat Lector- <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/"> </A> -Cui Bono?- Smoking gun: Made In China How much business does the People's Liberation Army do in America? According to a Rand Corporation report forced from the U.S. Department of Commerce by a federal lawsuit, a Chinese army company called Poly Technologies made millions of dollars selling guns in America. Poly Tech's prime U.S. subsidiary, PTK International of Atlanta, Ga., was run by Chinese princeling Baoping "Robert" Ma. The Rand report noted that the Poly Technologies businesses included "importation and distribution of semi-automatic rifles for the U.S. domestic market. ... Between 1987 and 1993 PTK sold more than US$200 million worth of these guns in the United States." "Poly Technologies, Ltd., was founded in 1984, ostensibly as a subsidiary of CITIC (China International Trust and Investment Corporation), although it was later exposed to be the primary commercial arm of the PLA General Staff Department's Equipment Sub-Department. Throughout the 1980s, Poly sold hundreds of millions of dollars of largely surplus arms around the world, exporting to customers in Thailand, Burma, Iran, Pakistan, and the United States." In 1994, Poly Tech took advantage of Clinton's executive order banning assault weapons or semi-automatic rifles. The 1994 Clinton ban on so-called "assault" rifles also included surplus arms imported from China. "Loopholes allowed importers to bend the rules," states the Rand report. "Specifically, Congress exempted weapons in transit post hoc. The U.S. Treasury initially estimated this exemption would cover 12,000 weapons, but importers actually brought in 440,000." Alas, the Poly Tech story does not end here. In August 1996, Poly Tech's U.S. operations were closed by a U.S. Customs sting operation. Allegedly, the operation's man in America, Robert Ma, conspired with China North Industries (NORINCO) representative, Richard Chen, to import 2,000 fully automatic AK-47s into the United States, selling them to Customs agents who posed as Miami drug smugglers. However, according to the 100-page federal indictment from one of the key undercover agents, Chen and Ma had to get permission from Chinese army headquarters in Beijing to obtain the 2,000 machine guns. According to the Customs agent's deposition, Chen and Ma had difficulty in getting the "barrels" because they required "higher-level permission." The Chinese have denied the connection between Ma and the general staff in Beijing. Poly Technology executive director, Xie Datong, stated on the record that the machine gun transfer did not require permission from the Chinese general staff. Xie Datong, also a corporate officer of Poly's American subsidiary, PTK, claimed the weapons were transferred from stockpiles from the General Logistics Division of the PLA. In August 1996, Robert Ma and company fled the country. Gun runner Ma, and all the Chinese executives who served Poly Tech, escaped the grasp of Janet Reno and Louis Freeh. Ma was reportedly one step ahead of FBI agents who had a warrant for his arrest. The Rand report noted that Poly Technologies, a firm directly owned by the Chinese general staff, made great profits in America thanks to Bill Clinton and the 1994 Democrat-controlled Congress. The so-called "assault" weapon ban was, in reality, a financial windfall profit for the Chinese army. However, the affair between Bill Clinton and Beijing is far deeper than one sweetheart gun deal. Poly Technologies functioned inside the U.S. by hiding itself behind a corporate camouflage of alias names and shells of bureaucratic paperwork. The Rand report noted that one such subsidiary of Poly Tech, namely PTK International, was also involved in espionage. "Poly's operations in the U.S. quickly diversified into a series of subsidiaries and holding companies. In 1988, (the) Poly Technologies 75 percent stake in PTK was transferred to Dynasty Holding Company, a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Poly," states the Rand report. "Dynasty handled all incoming and outgoing money for Poly, including management of all Poly investments in the U.S., and coordinated procurement of defense related materials with PTK and U.S. firms. Allegedly, Dynasty illegally shipped some of these materials, including advanced radar systems, minicomputers, and advanced communications equipment for use in the PLA UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, to China under the guise of non-restricted merchandise." The connection between Bill Clinton and Beijing is Poly Tech. The Rand Corporation report also noted that the Chinese army CITIC bank is an "investment concern under China's governmental State Council." CITIC, according to the Rand Corporation "became identified with the PLA as a result of the scandal surrounding Wang Jun and his visit to the White House on 6 February 1996." Who is Wang Jun? The Rand Corp. noted that "Wang Jun is both director of CITIC and chairman of Poly Group, the arms trading company of the General Staff Department." In February 1996, President Clinton met with Chinese Poly Tech Chairman Wang Jun after taking a donation from Arkansas DNC donor Charlie Trie. Wang, according to a high-level defense source, travels the globe on a PRC diplomatic passport. Wang is also authorized by Beijing to cut billion dollar arms deals with Chinese allies around the world. Wang's customers include Libya, Iran, Serbia, Iraq and Afghanistan. Poly Tech is one example of a PLA owned company. The Chinese army is alive and well inside America. U.S. military estimates indicate that over 2,000 Chinese army owned firms now operate inside the U.S.A. President Clinton continues to ignore a 1998 Federal law that requires him to identify Chinese army-owned companies operating in the U.S.A. Officials like Wang Jun can open U.S. bank accounts and compete with U.S. citizens for resources. Hidden by Clinton's silence, Chinese army-owned firms raise financing, take loans, bid for government projects and obtain government backed insurance for trade deals. Poly Tech was set up as a front company for the Chinese army General Logistics Division to act as a global arms surplus outlet. Poly Tech is one People's Liberation Army company with banking records that point a smoking gun directly at Bill Clinton.
