How have the Chinese Government become involved ?
The Chinese Government have been involved before 1999 The principals include that well known "Hong Kong" businessman and benefactor, Sir Li Ka-Shing. On the face of it this may appear to be an innocent philanthropic arrangement, but our investigators beleive that there is something far more sinister going on here, and that all may not be as it seems.
Li Ka Shing was born in Chaozhou, Guangdong, in 1928, moving to Hong Kong with his family in 1940. After working with a watch-strap company and then starting his own plastics factory, he built a personal fortune through Hong Kong property investments in the 1950s. He is now variously reported to be Hong Kong’s richest man, and the sixth richest in the world, with investments and employees in 42 countries. .......... So the official story goes, but there is more to this man than meets the eye. According to Peoples Republic of China propaganda website (chinadevelopmentbrief.com) ; The Li Ka Shing Foundation was established in 1980. Since then, it reports, donations have exceeded HK 5 billion (USD 600 million). In recent years, the foundation has provided assistance following natural disasters in India, supported medical and academic research in the United States and the UK, and contributed to community facilities for ethnic Chinese communities in Singapore and Canada. However, the great bulk of its giving has been to Hong Kong and, increasingly, the Chinese mainland. ............. Seems innocent enough ? The Hong Kong newspapers call him chiu yan (Superman), but at first glance the only thing Li Ka-shing has in common with Clark Kent is a pair of horn-rimmed glasses. This hardly bothers his legions of admirers. To them, this modest 78-year-old is the most successful Chinese businessman of his generation. Today, Li's fortune totals more than $18 billion. We are led to believe that Li obtained his vast cash reserve by honest business acumen, but according to Stephen Vines, author of ; Hong Kong: China's New Colony. ................ As Li's power and influence grew it became clear that his real talent lay not just in having an uncanny eye for opportunities but also in knowing when to sell. He has long traded his property assets in Hong Kong, predicting the market's peaks and troughs with seeming clairvoyance, and he has applied his skills to other assets, too. In 1999, he sold the British-based Orange telephone network to Germany's Mannesmann for a $14.6 billion profit; within a year, the tech bubble burst and the value of such assets plummeted. Skeptics wondered why Li took control of Canada's Husky Oil in 1991 and suffered years of poor returns, but the company is now one of the jewels in the Li portfolio. ........ We will return to the Husky Oil Company dealin greater detail later. In recent years, Li's trading finesse has drawn criticism from shareholders annoyed at the spinning off of assets, such as telecom companies, in a way that lines his pockets more than their own. There are also rumblings of discontent over the lack of transparency in Li's dealings. He recently helped finance a deal by a close associate, investment banker Francis Leung, to buy the assets of PCCW, the telecom firm controlled by his son Richard Li. At the time of the proposed sale, the younger Li maintained that his father was not involved in this politically sensitive deal, but later it came to light that he loaned Leung most of the cash for his deposit on the purchase. In October 1999, the Clinton White House denied that Chinese billionaire Li Ka-Shing is working for the communists in Beijing. The White House press secretary labeled such accusations as "silly" and dismissed them as "the kind of thing you see around here from time to time."
The Clinton White House thought so much of Li Ka-Shing that they passed a complete intelligence bio on the Chinese billionaire directly to DNC donor Loral Aerospace CEO Bernard Schwartz just prior to a trade trip to Beijing. Along with Li Ka-Shing's bio, the White House also gave Schwartz the detailed biographies of the entire Chinese communist leadership from President Jiang Zemin to the mayor of Shanghai. According to Forbes, Li Ka-Shing is the sixth richest man in the world. Li claims to be neither a red Chinese government official nor a member of any military service. Yet, the Clinton White House bio states that Li is a "member of the board of directors of the China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC)."
According to Charles Smith, national security and defense reporter for WorldNetDaily, In February 1996, President Clinton met with Chinese arms dealer Wang Jun after taking a donation from Arkansas DNC donor Charlie Trie. The Rand Corp. noted that "Wang Jung is both director of CITIC and Chairman of Poly Group, the arms trading company of the General Staff Department." In short, Wang Jun was an arms dealer from the Chinese army.

Hutchison Whampoa Teams With U.S. Defense Firm for Port Security Hutchison Whampoa, the firm that currently runs both ends of the Panama Canal, is teaming up with an American technology company in a bid to win tens of millions of dollars in U.S. port security funding. Three companies – Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., PSA Corp. Ltd. of Singapore, and London-based P&O Ports – will test an advanced electronic system manufactured by California-based Savi Technology to ensure the security of cargo entering U.S. ports. Hutchison Whampoa's effort to obtain a U.S. government contract has been confirmed by Savi Technology, the American partner in the joint venture.
In an exclusive deal with the People's Republic of China's communist government, Li has the right of first refusal over all PRC ports south of the Yangtze River.Li Ka-Shing has invested more than a billion dollars in China and owns most of the dock space in Hong Kong.

MASSIVE PORTS GRAB
China's Massive Port Grab
Mark Anderson
Alex Jones' first documentary film "America: Destroyed By Design", made in 1997, warned Americans that the sell-out to the Chinese was the first step on the road to the sacking of the American economy and pulling the plug on key US infrastructure.
The sell out of ports continues across the other side of the Atlantic, where Hutchison Whampoa has been buying up land and ports in counntries throughout Europe, including the UK. More details to follow about the sale of former MOD dockyards in East London, which now provide a base for the distribution of heavily ddiscounted Chinese imports. Imports which have seriously damaged Britains Manufacturing Industries, aaand robbed workers of thier pensions.

Are the Chinese bugging The Government and our Armed Forces ?
Iraq Goes Mobile in 2003 Asia Times Online Iraqis themselves also dream of going mobile in Iraq. Mobile phone licenses were announced this week. Bremer and his Coalition Provisional Authority wanted to send a strong message to the world: look how everything in Iraq is ruled by transparency. Well, not exactly. Three mobile phone licenses were awarded for a period of only two years. As the British did, Iraq once again was divided into three regions: Kurdistan; the center and the west, including Baghdad; and the south from Najaf to Basra. According to the rules, each operator first has to fully equip the region it was attributed to, before exploring other markets. In late 2005, in theory, everything starts again, because an elected Iraqi government would then choose its own operators. Asia Cell won in Kurdistan, Orascom in the center and the west, and al-Atheel in the south. According to the Americans, these are respectively Kurdish, Egyptian and Kuwaiti businesses. Not really. The Kuwaitis from al-Atheel are controlled by MTC, which happens to be a subsidiary of the British telecom giant Vodafone. MTC had already equipped the British army in Basra with a small network of mobile phones. Orascom - which will equip Baghdad (over 5 million people, 8 million in greater Baghdad according to locals) is indeed an Egyptian company, doing solid business in many Arab and African countries. But its key partner is the American Motorola, followed in a very discreet manner by the French Alcatel. Alcatel will in fact be responsible for the core system of the Orascom network (30 percent of the value of the contract). French sources tell Asia Times Online that Alcatel was practically invisible during the bidding process: the Egyptians knew the Americans don't forgive Alcatel for winning an $80 million contract through which the French company equipped most of the Baghdad telephone exchanges later bombed by the Pentagon. Alcatel, along with Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson and Lucent, had already
applied when Bechtel - in charge of repairing Iraq's land-based telephone
network - was shopping for sub-contractors. The American Lucent won
this lucrative contract - without any competition. The Europeans learned
it by reading the papers. According to a Scandinavian businessman, "they
[the Americans] are managing this country like it's the 51st American
state". Orascom Telecom CEO acquires stake in Hutchison Telecom businessweek.com - December 2005 Orascom Telecom CEO Naguib Sawiris acquires a stake in Hutchison Telecom in a bid to expand his Egyptian company's global reach. What do you do when one of your deals makes investors queasy? If you are an audacious poker player like Egypt's Naguib Sawiris, you do another deal to refocus their minds. That looks to be at least part of Sawiris's strategy in acquiring a 19.3% stake in Hong Kong-based Hutchison Telecommunications International (HTX ) for his Cairo-based Orascom Telecom Holding on Dec. 21 for $1.3 billion. US Army Equipment Tracked by Chinese Satellites In the first Gulf War, the Army’s approach to logistics could perhaps best be described as brute-force. “In 1991, there were thousands of cargo containers flooding the ports of Southwest Asia,” said Ann F. Scotti, manager of the Army’s Product Manager-Automatic Identification Technology office. Because of the difficulty of matching paper manifests with shipping
containers, tens of thousands of containers had to be opened to find
out what they held, and a lot of time and materiel was wasted. According
to the General Accounting Office, $2.7 billion worth of spare parts
shipped to the Gulf theater in 1991 went unused. Prior to the war, ITV was in use primarily by the Army, with some use
by the Marine Corps. It now covers all of DOD logistics in Iraq, and
“we are anticipating that it will become more of a joint requirement,”
Scotti said. In March 2001, the ITV network read 3,148 tags. That climbed
to 28,000 one year later and jumped to more than 2 million in March.
Far from being a helpful, attractive proposition, this practice must be fraught with security dangers for US and British troops, knowing what we do from the Chinese PLA stated interest in these small tracking RFID chips to be used as targeting devices for the "Poor Mans Smart Bomb". Recently the MOD and former Chancellor J.G.Brown, ( Now Prime Minister ) signed a deaaal to extend this tracking of materiaals and provisions to Britains Armed Forces. SAVI TECHNOLOGY AND HUTCHISON PORT HOLDINGS ESTABLISH NEW COMPANY TO DEPLOY RFID NETWORK TO TRACK AND MANAGE OCEAN CARGO SHIPMENTS SUNNYVALE, Calif. and HONG KONG - April 21, 2005 - Savi Technology, Inc., a leading provider of active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) supply chain solutions, and Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), a leading port developer and operator, today jointly announced the formation of a new company to build and operate an active RFID-based information network to track and manage containerized ocean cargo. The company, called Savi Networks LLC, will build the network by installing active RFID equipment and software in participating ports around the world to provide users with information on the identity, location and status of their ocean cargo containers as they pass through such ports. Shippers, logistics service providers and transportation companies will be able to connect to the network by installing compatible equipment at their own locations to further improve the efficiency, effectiveness and security of global supply chains. The new company will be initially capitalized with an investment of US$50 million from the joint-venture partners. Savi Technology will hold a 51 percent interest in Savi Networks, and HPH will hold the remaining 49 percent interest. Savi will take the lead in operating the joint venture and contribute a license to the software to operate the network, and HPH will provide access to its port facilities. Savi Networks will seek to establish relationships with additional port partners to further extend the network, as well as with providers of complementary technologies and services to the global supply chain. ?We believe the availability of a shared RFID network will enable greater supply chain visibility and efficiency throughout global supply chains,? said Vic Verma, Savi?s President and Chief Executive Officer. ?Savi is excited about entering into this agreement with HPH, which as one of the world?s largest port operators has the knowledge, experience and vision to understand the needs of the global shipping community.? ?Global concerns about supply chain efficiency, effectiveness and security continue to grow, and must be addressed with new and better ways to manage cargo,? said John Meredith, HPH Group Managing Director. ?We have worked closely with Savi Technology in a number of government and industry initiatives, and we?re eager to leverage our collective experience to deploy a shared network. We look forward to working with Savi and other global port operators, carriers and service providers to build this new network.? It is expected that Savi Networks will function much like a telecommunications network service provider. Savi Networks will own and operate the network?s core infrastructure and will provide information services, to be called SaviTrak?, on a per-container trip basis. The company will also sell active RFID-related hardware and services to customers to extend the network to the customer?s own origin point, such as a manufacturing plant, and/or destination point, such as a distribution center. The new company expects to offer customers a family of active RFID tags, including data rich, visibility and sensor tags, based on ISO 18000-7 standards. These tags would be affixed to containers, transforming them into ?smart containers? able to communicate with the network, which will enable users to receive information on location, security and environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and light, as well as the container?s contents. The network will be built on an interoperable architecture designed to accommodate Automatic Identification Data Collection (AIDC) technologies, such as barcodes, passive RFID technologies such as EPC, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) used to track ships and trucks that transport ocean containers. These complementary technologies will form the basis of a ?nested visibility? solution, which provides users with greater visibility and management of both their container shipments and the contents they transport. Concurrent with the formation of Savi Networks, HPH also has made a US$50 million investment in privately held Infolink Systems, Inc., the parent of Savi Technology, which will provide HPH with slightly less than 10 percent of Infolink on a fully diluted basis. Other strategic Infolink shareholders include Temasek Holdings, a major shareholder in leading transportation companies such as PSA International, Neptune Orient Lines and Singapore Airlines; SembCorp Logistics; Mitsui and Co., Ltd.; Oracle Corporation; TIBCO Software Inc. and United Parcel Service (UPS). Other investors in Infolink include prominent venture capital firms worldwide, such as Accel Partners, Dorset Capital, K1 Ventures, Mohr Davidow Ventures and Vector Capital.

This entaglement of Li Ka-Shings companies with vital Defence Contractors is very worrying indeed, especially when you realise that Lockheed Martin is the company which is resposible for the production of the Fissile materials, and the construction of the USA Nuclear Deterrent. ************ BRITISH ARMED FORCES AND GOVERNMENT BUGGED IN THE UK Wednesday 13 June 2007
************* Contract 536 Contract Description: **************** Contract 831 Contract 282 Description: This is not a complete list of Global Crossing Government contracts. There are serious doubts about other telecom contracts, across the entire Planet Earth. Countries all over the continent of Africa and in the Middle East are the latest targets for a controlled takeover of National telecommunications infrastructure, by Global Crossing and other Hutchison Whampoa subsiduaries. Furthermore there are serious security implications with regard to business ventures entered into in the field of silcon microprocessor manufacture, by Ka-Shing's other son Richard Li, with Singapore partners, and employing USA technology, gleaned from other compaany operations and partnerships in California. MI5 own security website for advice to British Business contains these chilling warnings...... The threat from espionage (or spying) against the UK did not end with the collapse of Soviet communism in the early 1990s. Several countries are actively seeking British information and material to advance their own military, technological, political and economic programmes. In the past, espionage activity was typically directed towards obtaining political and military intelligence. In today's high-tech world, the intelligence requirements of a number of countries now include new communications technologies, IT, genetics, aviation, lasers, optics, electronics and many other fields. Intelligence services, therefore, are targeting commercial enterprises far more than in the past. The UK is a high priority espionage target and a number of countries are actively seeking UK information and material to advance their own military, technological, political and economic programmes. We estimate that at least 20 foreign intelligence services are operating to some degree against UK interests. Of greatest concern are the Russians and Chinese. One of the Gravest Dangers is Electronic attack Electronic attack could: • Allow the attacker to gain access
to your computer system and do • Make your systems impossible
to use through ‘denial of service’ attacks. As soon as you entrust your information

Should Gordon be put on Trial for High Treason ?
There can be no doubt that James Gordon Brown, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, and now Prime Minister knew of all these issues, since it is he who vetted those contracts, and oversaw the payments, and was responsible for the inclusion of those companies on the Office of Government Commerce Approved List in the first place. Oh and Just for Good measure of course Sir Li Ka-Shing, who was given a KBE in the June 2000 Queens Birthday Honors List, and reputedly recommended by either Brown himself, or Current Chancellor Alistair Darling, when he was Treasury Secretary at the time, is now on Gordon Browns "Super Committee" of World Economic Advisers.
| Gordon brown-noses global business
by Matthew Lea June 2006 The ‘globalisation advisory committee’ set up by Gordon Brown consists solely of big business. If one company can lobby effectively in defence of its commercial interests, collective lobbying carries even greater weight. At least five of the companies represented on Gordon Brown’s committee are members of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). The ICC is one of the most powerful – and secretive – of the international corporate lobby groups whose primary goal is continued deregulation in global trade and investment rules. The globalisation committee also includes several members of Business Action for Africa. This lobbies hard for the enforced ‘liberalisation’ of African economies in return for debt relief, ignoring the critiques of forced-trade liberalisation, deregulation and privatisation in Africa made by development NGOs. These are nowhere to be seen on Brown’s panel. Neither are environmental NGOs, aid agencies, trade unions or human rights groups. Their lack of representation must call into question the kind of advice that Gordon Brown is seeking, and the commitment of the man-who-would-be-prime-minister to tackle corporate power where it stands in the way of alleviating world poverty or slowing down the rate of environmental destruction.
