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.

Warden, Free State
Warden is a town situated in the Free State province of South Africa on the N3 highway between Johannesburg and Durban.
The town is 56 km north of Harrismith and south- south- east of Villiers.
It was laid out on the farm Rietvlei in 1912, proclaimed in 1913, and attained municipal status in 1920.
It is said to be named after Charles Frederick Warden, landdrost of Harrismith from 1884 to 1900.
Warden and Dirkie Uys School celebrated their centenary during September 2013.
The town has one of the largest Dutch Reformed Churches in South Africa, with seating for 1,750.
After the African National Congress came into power in 1994, the town's infrastructure deteriorated.
Most roads are now unpaved and most public buildings have been in decline.
A young group of residents took part in restoring Warden.
A new main road and several buildings has since been built or upgraded.
One of the biggest municipal dams is also being built.
Warden's locality( in the middle of SA and on the N3 highway connecting Gauteng and Durban), water supply, industrial land and labour makes it an ideal place for industrial development.
Houses in Warden are reasonably priced.
Industrial and residential land are also available.
The farming area around Warden produces a big part of the country's potatoes, maize and red meat.

He was a squad member for the 1991 FIFA World Youth Championship.
Dirkie Uys
Dirkie Uys (1823–1838) was a Voortrekker hero during the Great Trek.
After the massacare of Piet Retief and his men by Dingaan on 6 February 1838, a number of Voortrekker camps were also attacked by the Zulu impis.
These Voortrekkers appealed to other treks, particularly those of Piet Uys and Hendrik Potgieter in the Orange Free State, for help.
Both treks send out commandos to help, including Uys' fifteen-year-old son, Dirkie.
During the subsequent Battle of Italeni, Piet Uys was mortally wounded by an assegai while riding to the rescue of two of his cornered men.
The rescue party failed.
Opinions of what happened next differ:
According to the most common version (mostly told by people who had not been present at the battle), Dirkie Uys was ahead of his father with most of the party when he heard his father ordering one of his men to leave him where he had fallen.
Seeing the Zulus closing in on his father, Dirkie Uys turned around his horse, shouting "I will die with my father", and charged.
He shot three Zulu warriors, briefly forcing them to retreat, but they rushed at him and stabbed him off his horse.
Dirkie Uys fell beside his father, where they were both stabbed to death.
This version of events is depicted on one of the historical friezes of the Voortrekker Monument.
South Africa has a deep and significant history, one that is complex and integral to the identity of the modern Rainbow Nation.
The Dirkie Uys Monument is one small part of the South African mosaic, a beautiful chapter in the long tale that has brought this country to the democratic, united point that we now enjoy.
Dirk Uys and his father, Piet, served together in the Boer War, when the Voortrekkers fought against the Zulu warriors in bloody battles that led to the devastating loss of tens of thousands of British, Boer and African lives.
Dirkie was only 15 years old, fighting under the command of his father, when the Zulu impis lured their commando into an attack.
Piet was fatally wounded and, as he lay dying, commanded that his men, including Dirkie, flee and save themselves.
But his son loyally stayed behind.
Unable to leave his dying father at the mercy of the warring Zulu fighters, Dirkie stuck by his side, fighting off as many of the warriors as he could before he was finally killed, laid to a bloody rest next to his father.
The Dirkie Uys Monument is situated in Somerset West, less than an hour’s drive outside Cape Town.
It commemorates the loss of these two war heroes, but also the loss of the lives of all of the many other men, women and children that succumbed during this turbulent time in South Africa’s history.
The monument comprises a stone bench, fashioned after an ox wagon wheel, as well as an ox wagon atop a stone structure bearing the date 1938 to celebrate the centenary of the Great Trek.
The monument faces true north and is situated on the large piece of land between two churches (the NG Moedergemeente and the Ou Pastorie Church and Rectory).
This is open to the public and there are no charges involved in seeing the monument.
