Quote Former U.S. military contractor Erik Prince had “no knowledge or involvement” in a preliminary memorandum signed by a Hong Kong-listed company to build a training base in China’s far western region of Xinjiang, his spokesman said on Friday. Will the Administration censure and sanction the company and Erik Prince over this?Xinjiang is a major part of China’s Belt and Road infrastructure network but the region has faced attacks blamed on members of the Muslim ethnic Uighur minority. Beijing has responded with a security clampdown condemned by rights groups and Western governments. Frontier Services Group (FSG), a Hong Kong-listed company founded by Prince, said in a Chinese-language statement posted on its website on Jan. 22 that it had signed a deal to build a training centre in southern Xinjiang. Reuters reported on the statement on Thursday. A Prince spokesman told Reuters on Friday that Prince had “no knowledge or involvement whatsoever with this preliminary memorandum regarding the company’s activity in Xinjiang.” Title: Re: Erik Prince had 'no knowledge' of training agreement in Xinjiang:Spokesman Post by: Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian. on February 02, 2019, 08:09:38 PM Will the Administration censure and sanction the company and Erik Prince over this?

DeVos is Prince's biological sister, not his sister-in-law. My mistake - her husband used to be more famous than her, when he ran for Governor of Michigan, and he is Prince’s brother-in-law. |
