I found three reports concerning chinese activities (and deaths) in
Romania, printed in the magazine "Clipa", published by the Emmanuel
Romanian Pentecostal Church in Anaheim, CA.

I. Clipa, vol2, no 24, Feb.1, 1992, p.11
CAPITAL STRAIN. 504.000 de dolari. Iata valoarea capitalului strain
investit in Romania in perioada 13-17 ianuarie 1992. Continua valul de
investitori chinezi: in intervalul mentionat acestia au inregistrat in
Romania 42 noi societati comerciale !

(In translation, for our friends who don't understand Romanian:)

Foreign Capital. US$504,000. This the amount of foreign capital invested
in Romania in the period  Jan. 13-17, 1992. The wave of chinese
investors continues: they registered 42 new commercial ventures in the
mentioned time interval.

II. Clipa, vol.2, no.36, April 25, 1992, p.9
MAFIA CHINEZA LA BUCURESTI.Un tinar ajutor de ospatar, Wang Zheng, care
lucreaza la restaurantul chinezesc "Rindunica', a promit intr-una din
noptile trecute o vizita neasteptata. Un compatriot de-al lui l-a rugat
sa-i deschida usa. Si-a facut aparitia un grup de cinci chinezi inarmati
cu pistoale, care l-au deposedat de 5.900 de dolari si de pasaport, dupa
care s-au topit in noapte.

CHINESE MAFIA IN BUCHAREST. A young waiter, Wang Zheng, who works at the
chinese restaurant "The Swallow", received an unexpected visit one
recent night. A compatriot asked him to open the door. Then a group of
five chinese men, armed with handguns, appeared and robbed him of
US$5,900 and of his passport, after which they vanished in the darkness
of the night.


III. Clipa, vol.2, no.43, June 13, 1992, p.12-13
MAFIA CHINEZEASCA LA BUCURESTI.In  luna mai, in lacurile Pantelimon si
Colentina din Bucuresti au fost gasite cadavrele a doi cetateni chinezi.
Avind in vedere starea lor, se pare ca aceste crime fusesera comise cu
3-4 saptamini inainte. Cele doua corpuriau fost "impachetate" efectiv in
geamantane din material plastic si aruncate apoi in apa lacului. De
asemenea, ambele cadavre aveau capul bagat in pungi de plastic. Moartea
se produsese prin strangulare, Modul de operare in ambele cazuri pare a
duce la concluzia ca asasinul este acelasi si ca poate fi vorba de o
retea de tip mafiot, straina de tara noastra. Una din victime a fost
identificata de politie: cetateanul chinez Ding Jian Ping, inginer din
Beijing. Acesta era patronul firmei FUDA SRL din Bucuresti. Cercetarile
politiei continua.

CHINEZE MAFIA IN BUCHARST. In May, the corpses of two chinese citizens
were found in the lakes Pantelimon and Colentina, in Bucharest. On
account of their state, it seems that the crimes were committed 3-4
weeks before.The two bodies were effectively "packed" in plastic
suitcases and then thrown in the lake. Both corpses had plastic bags
pulled over their heads. Death occurred by strangulation.The similarity
of the two crimes seems to lead to the conclusion that the assasin is
the same person in both cases and that a mafioso-type organization,
foreign to our country, is involved.One of the victims has been
identified as the chinese citizen Ding  Jian Ping, an engineer originary
from Beijing. He was the owner of the firm Fuda, SRL (Ltd?) from
Bucharest. Police continue the investigations.

This is what I found. There may be more news releases on this subject,
but I only get magazines sporadically .

P.S. I agree with Sorin Grama that most, if not all, of the magazines
and newspapers published in Romanian in USA and Canada are at the level
of the supermarket tabloids. Still, even the tabloids are sometimes
interesting and fun to read, in small, generously spaced apart, doses.

Best whishes to all of you,
