He did not commit any crime Canada could accuse him of. Canada does not recognize laws of communist China at least until now.

His crime was of course to not transfer sufficient funds and invitations to Zhu and co, and to dare to set up in competition with Zhu, Jiang Zemin and those who took for themselves the right to rob the rest at the point of a barrel of a gun: [font=arial, sans-serif]"If Lai Changxing were executed three times over, it would not be too much," fumed Premier Zhu Rongji in October 2000. Indeed, it was Zhu himself, China's most vocal graft buster, who the year before had ordered an investigation into Lai's alleged smuggling, later precipitating the disgraced businessman's escape to Canada.

Such doings show why China will continue with the 1000 year "accident". Life is not much a matter of luck, in the long run, any more than one can have luck at golf, for more than half a round. When a culture is based not on VVV but on Red Clubs for "friends", "[font='Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed."[/font] Nobody is going to see China and think "Oh gosh, we really should copy the way they do it".

England profited handsomely from Commonwealth dictators and acolytes running with money to London. Nigeria is a great contributor to that. This was my neighbor in Kaduna. Umaru Dikko From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Umaru Dikko (born 1936, Wamba) is a Nigerian politician and was a trusted adviser to President Shehu Shagari. He was also the Nigerian minister for Transportation from 1979-1983. He started playing a role in the nation's governance in 1967, when he was appointed as a commissioner in the then North Central State of Nigeria (now Kaduna State). He was also secretary of a committee set up by General Hassan Katsina to unite the Northerners after a coup in 1966. [1] In 1979, he was made Shagari's campaign manager for the successful presidential campaign of the National Party of Nigeria. During the nation's Second Republic, he played prominent roles as transport minister and head of the presidential task force on rice. A coup on December 31, 1983 overthrew the government of Shagari. Dikko fled into exile in London with a few other party officials. On July 5, 1984, he played the central role in the Dikko Affair; he was found drugged in a crate labeled Diplomatic Baggage at Stansted Airport, an apparent victim of a government (Nigerian) sanctioned, but aborted kidnapping [2]. The crate's destination was Lagos. [3]
