Ng declined to elaborate on specifics. Almost every one of Ng's business partners in China is a government official. Access to them is often purchased with donations of cash. In looking to do business in America, Ng took his understanding of money and politics in China and projected it onto the United States. But I think in some ways, the two places are very similar.
Money is very important to both.
