  • State Patriotism by Chen Weijian Oct 2018
    State patriotism by Chen Weijian (translation by Daisy Lee) Chen Weijian is New Zealand-based editor-in-chief of the political magazine Beijing Spring 4 June 1989 was a bloody day that cannot be erased in Chinese history. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) opened fire on unarmed students whose blood stained Tiananmen Square. 29 years later, on the same day, a New Zealand overseas Chinese leader, former PLA member Zhang Yikun, received the New Zealand Order of Merit. On September 12th, Zhang Yikun was formally honoured at Government House. The news was even covered by China's CCTV: a star in the overseas Chinese community was on the rise. But while awaiting his spectacular future, Zhang Yikun this month burst into public view in New Zealand following his undeclared $100,000 donation to National Party. The question of what political donations are legal and illegal is a matter for the relevant authorities. What I want to talk about is Zhang Yikun’s political background in China and the role he has been effectively playing in New Zealand as a "patriotic overseas Chinese" leader. In his motherland, China, Zhang Yikun has held quite a few resounding political titles which distinguish him from all the other community leaders of the CCP’s United Front organisations in New Zealand. In 2012, Zhang was elected as the vice chairman of Hainan Provincial Federation of Industry and Commerce. The website’s home page says the Federation is a group of people’s organisations and chambers of commerce under the leadership of the CCP.

    HNA Group: Chinese officials take control of airline operator - CNN 9/21/20, 1003 AM Chinese o!cials are taking control of troubled airline operator HNA By Laura He, CNN Business Updated 5:13 AM ET, Mon March 2, 2020 Hong Kong (CNN Business) — Chinese authorities are stepping in to run one of the country's largest conglomerates as it struggles to overcome a massive debt crisis made worse by the novel coronavirus outbreak. Government o<cials in Hainan province have established a "working group" with other agencies to help solve HNA Group's financial woes, the company said in a statement Saturday. The move was made at HNA's request, it added. HNA began life as an airline but grew rapidly through investments in real estate and finance, and overseas acquisitions, to become one of the most important players in China's private sector. Much of its growth was financed by borrowing, however, and the company has been forced to retrench in the last couple of years. Two government o<cials were appointed to top management positions at HNA. Gu Gang has become the company's executive chairman and Ren Qinghua was appointed as HNA's co-CEO. They will work alongside HNA's current management team, which includes chairman Chen Feng. Two other senior members of the working group come from the country's civil aviation authority and one of its policy banks. While HNA's ownership structure is extremely complex and opaque — it is apparently controlled by a nonprofit charity foundation — it has traditionally been classified as a major player in China's private sector.
