Forbes magazine has an article about the dangers of doing business in China.
This guy, David Ji seemed to be a pro. He built a $ billion + DVD importing business.
He went back there to sort out a billing dispute last year.
A major supplier who he had a deal with ousted their CEO and replaced him with a party crony.
Ji was siezed by police in his hotel.
They have not let him come back.
Of course we can never forget “One Eye” Saburo Sakai. He managed to go up against the best-trained pilots of all time and survive. Outnumbered and outgunned by Wildcats, Hellcats, and Corsairs, he still managed to rack 64 kills (though the Japanese military did not credit individual pilots with victory claims). Plus, Sakai was a man of character.
