Xinhua reported that Sany Group, a plaintiff in a lawsuit against President Obama for blocking its purchase of wind farms near a U.S. military base, will hold a press conference on October 18, 2012, to provide an update on the case. On September 28, 2012, Obama signed a decree banning the sale of four wind farms in Oregon to the Ralls Corp. and its Chinese affiliate, Sany Group, on national security grounds. “As for this incident, Xiang Wenbo (the president of Sany) expressed that ‘hopefully the upcoming press conference will, in addition to clarifying the true facts, allow Chinese to further understand America and international trade, and to learn how to audaciously protect the rights of Chinese companies during the process of globalization.’”

According to a report from NTDTV (a Chinese language TV station based in North America), during a private fundraising event for Romney’s 2012 election campaign, Falun Gong practitioners raised a question about the many Falun Gong practitioners in China who lost their lives when the Communist regime harvested their organs while they were still alive (so the organs would be fresh). In answering the question, John Bolton, Romney’s foreign policy adviser during his presidential race, responded that the United States should take on the (Chinese) government on this issue. He said, “Such issues will be critical in a Romney administration. … I know he will stand up for this because it is critical to show the world that we pursue not just American interests, but American values.”
