David Ji
David Longfen Ji is an American businessman who co-founded Apex Digital, an electronics manufacturer.
In 2004, he was arrested in China following a dispute with Sichuan Changhong Electric, a supplier owned by the city of Mianyang and the province of Sichuan.
Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.
Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, "I decide whether you live or die."
He has been held in China without charges.
Ji's case highlighted an "implicit racism" in dealings with American businessmen.
As a U.S. citizen he was not granted the same treatment by authorities as non-ethnically Chinese businessmen sharing the same nationality.

Jean de Watteville
Jean De Watteville( 1618-1702) was a Burgundian noble of Flemish extraction who became a Carthusian monk.

His mother was Giuditta de Brebbia, daughter of a senator from Milan.
Jean De Watteville was born in Besançon in 1618, and joined the army at a young age.
He fought in Italy for the Habsburgs against the French.
Having killed a Spanish officer in a quarrel, De Watteville fled to Paris, where he sought refuge in a Carthusian monastery.
De Watteville apparently found the practice of chastity burdensome, and one night was discovered climbing over the monastery wall.
He killed the Prior with a shot from his pistol and made his escape.
The following day he killed another man in a pub brawl, and so fled onwards again to Spain.
In Perpignan he seduced the daughter of his host before killing again, this time during a duel with a gentleman, son of a Spanish grandee, and so was forced to go on the run once more.
eventually he arrived in Turkey, where he converted to Islam and became a Pasha.
De Watteville then defected to the Venetians and handed over to them several Ottoman fortresses in return for a Papal guarantee that he would be pardoned and could return to the priesthood.
This done he returned to Burgundy and collected various rich benefices, plotting to overthrow Spanish rule and replace it with that of Louis XIV.
His ambition was to become Archbishop of Besançon, but the Pope reminded him about the double murder, breaking of vows, apostasy etc. and he withdrew to another rich abbey.
