Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his former colleagues at Bain Capital are seen by veteran China watchers as being behind a number of recent incidents in China designed to put political pressure on the Chinese government.
First, there was the abortive attempt by individuals connected to George Soros, the Rothschild financial family, and Bain Capital to insert disgraced former Chinese Communist Party boss in Chongqing, Bo Xilai, into the nine-member ruling Chinese Communist Party Politburo.
After Bo's police chief, Wang Lijun unsuccessfully sought political asylum in the U.S. Consulate General in Chengdu and was then hastily removed by Chinese security police to Beijing.
Bo's international corporate attorney wife Gu Kailai, was placed under investigation by Beijing authorities for the poisoning British businessman Neil Heywood, thought to be a covert MI-6 agent operating under the cover of Hakluyt, a private intelligence firm.
Wang, who had information on Bo's and Gu's foreign financial ties, was turned away from the American consulate by Peter Haymond, a friend of fellow Mormon and former U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, Jr., a third cousin of Romney.
While posted to Beijing, Huntsman's three daughters reportedly dated Bo's playboy son, Bo Guagua, who was known for speeding around Beijing in his red Ferrari.
Bo Guagua is now in Romney's home state of Massachusetts, where he attends Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and, unlike his mother and father, is enjoying virtual political asylum and the protection in the United States government.
Bo Guagua's tuition at Harvard and, previously at Harrow and Oxford in Britain, is said to be subsidized by healthy grants from Soros/Rothschild- and Bain-connected foundations.
The tuition could not be paid for from the "official" salary of a Chinese Communist bureaucrat like his father but would be more likely the result of his mother's international corporate connections that include the Rothschilds and Soros.
Secondly and most recently, there is a Bain connection to the attempt by blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng to escape from house arrest at night to the relative safety of the U.S. embassy in Beijing.
