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.

Victor Stoloff( 1913–2009) was a Russian- born American Hollywood director, producer and screenplay writer who worked in film and television.
In 1943, Stoloff and Edgar Loew were nominated for an Academy Award in the category" Best Documentary", for the film" Little Isles of Freedom".
Edgar Buckingham
Edgar Buckingham( July 8, 1867 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – April 29, 1940 in Washington DC) was an American physicist.
He graduated from Harvard with a bachelor's degree in physics in 1887.
He did additional graduate work at the University of Strasbourg and the University of Leipzig, where he studied under chemist Wilhelm Ostwald.
Buckingham received a PhD from Leipzig in 1893.
He worked at the USDA Bureau of Soils from 1902 to 1906 as a soil physicist.
He worked at the( US) National Bureau of Standards( now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST) 1906- 1937.
His fields of expertise included soil physics, gas properties, acoustics, fluid mechanics, and blackbody radiation.
He is also the originator of the Buckingham π theorem in the field of dimensional analysis.
In 1923, Buckingham published a report which voiced skepticism that jet propulsion would be economically competitive with prop driven aircraft at low altitudes and at the speeds of that period.
Buckingham's first work on soil physics is on soil aeration, particularly the loss of carbon dioxide from the soil and its subsequent replacement by oxygen.
From his experiments he found that the rate of gas diffusion in soil was not dependent significantly on the soil structure, compactness or water content of the soil.
Using an empirical formula based on his data, Buckingham was able to give the diffusion coefficient as a function of air content.
This relation is still commonly cited in many modern textbooks and used in modern research.
The outcomes of his research on gas transport were to conclude that the exchange of gases in soil aeration takes place by diffusion and is" sensibly independent of the variations of the outside barometric pressure".
Buckingham then worked on soil water, research for which he is now renowned.
Buckingham's work on soil water is published in Bulletin 38 USDA Bureau of Soils:" Studies on the movement of soil moisture", which was released in 1907.
This document contained three sections, the first of which looked at evaporation of water from below a layer of soil.
He found that soils of various textures could strongly inhibit evaporation, particularly where capillary flow through the uppermost layers was prevented.
The second section of" Bulletin 38" looked at the drying of soils under arid and humid conditions.
Buckingham found evaporative losses were initially higher from the arid soil, then after three days the evaporation under arid conditions became less than under humid conditions, with the total loss ending up greater from the humid soil.
Buckingham believed this occurred due to the self- mulching behaviour( he referred to it as the soil forming a natural mulch) exhibited by the soil under arid conditions.
The third section of" Bulletin 38" contains the work on unsaturated flow and capillary action for which Buckingham is famous.
He firstly recognized the importance of the potential of the forces arising from interactions between soil and water.
He called this the capillary potential, this is now known as the moisture or water potential( matric potential).
He combined capillary theory and an energy potential in soil physics theory, and was the first to expound the dependence of soil hydraulic conductivity on capillary potential.
This dependence later came to be known as relative permeability in petroleum engineering.
He also applied a formula equivalent to Darcy's law to unsaturated flow.
