Connected? In 1994, the Macau millionaire and brothel owner visited the White House -- a visit captured in a personal photograph with President Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Ng Lapseng is also very well connected to Beijing. Reportedly a close friend of Wang Jun, international arms dealer and the chairman of China state weapons maker Polytechnologies, Inc., Ng also is reportedly a part of a deadly Chinese organized crime gang that specializes in the kidnapping of women for prostitution. In an exclusive interview with WorldNetDaily, convicted Chinagate figure Johnny Chung describes his experiences with reputed gangster Ng Lapseng inside China and the Clinton White House. "In June 1994, I met the mayor of Zhuhai with Charlie Trie and Ng Lapseng at their hotel in Washington D.C.," said Chung. "I cannot tell you the mayor's name because of my own concerns, but I can tell you he knew Ng Lapseng very well. All too well." "Trie, the mayor of Zhuhai, Ng and I were waiting to go to watch a speech by President Clinton," noted Chung. "We decided to chat a while during the wait. At one point, Trie asked to visit my office in Los Angeles. According to Trie, Ng Lapseng was interested in investing money into my fax service. Trie even mentioned that Ng was considering up to a 'million' dollars." "I agreed and later that month they came to L.A. for a visit," explained Chung. "I took Trie, Ng and the mayor of Zhuhai to visit the opening of a business center in Los Angeles and then later that night we went to dinner to discuss business. "Ng and Trie picked a very expensive Chinese restaurant," said Chung. "At the end of the evening, the bill for dinner was over $3,000. Ng presented his credit card, but curiously, it was returned as 'rejected.' Trie quietly asked me to pay the bill, but I was not willing to pay three thousand dollars for dinner. Trie had told me that Ng was a very rich millionaire and he had much power in Macau and China. Yet, here this 'millionaire' had his credit card rejected." "At this point, Ng Lapseng started to laugh and he pulled out a huge wad of money from his pocket, paying the restaurant bill, leaving several hundred dollars extra as a tip. Ng explained he knew his credit card would come up bad and that he just enjoyed embarrassing everyone." "Two years later in 1996, I took another business trip to China, and met a prominent businessman from Zhuhai who also knew the mayor," stated Chung. "He noted that the mayor of Zhuhai would be pleased if I could visit sometime. I agreed to accompany him back to Zhuhai and have dinner with the mayor." "During the dinner, the mayor explained that he loved Zhuhai," noted Chung. "He noted that Ng Lapseng was a Zhuhai 'hometown boy.' He also bragged that if he wanted to, he could be the vice minister of Guangdong province. However, he stated that 'I like Zhuhai better.'" "I then asked him why would he want to be a mayor and not a vice minister?" He said, 'I am very comfortable. I have control of a very important seaport. I have control of the customs officials. I have control of the PLA units attached here. I control everything that goes in and out of China from here. Everything.'" "It was then that the mayor relayed to me that he and Ng Lapseng controlled everything flowing between Macau and China," stated Chung. "I was somewhat stunned, but I tried to remain calm," stated Chung. "During the dinner, I noted that the mayor had a picture from America in his office. It was a signed picture of Mark Middleton, special assistant to President Clinton, sitting with the mayor on a couch. Middleton looked ridiculous, relaxing with his tie off, drinking with the mayor." Year of the rat Ng Lapseng, according to Asia expert Bill Triplett, is part owner of "Ang-Du International," reported to be one of several firms that acquire women for Ng to employ at his Macau brothels. A 1998 article on Ang-Du and Ng published in the Wall Street Journal noted the company frequently acquired underage women, many forcibly abducted for prostitution. "Year of the Rat" by Bill Triplett and Ed Timperlake clearly notes that Ng Lapseng arrived in San Fransciso with $175,000 in cash -- the same June 1994 visit to America when Johnny Chung met the Macau brothel millionaire. "Within two days, Ng was dining at the White House mess with presidential aide and Democratic Party fund-raiser Mark Middleton. Later that evening, Ng and his associate Charlie Trie would make honored guest appearances at a DNC-sponsored presidential Gala," noted Triplett and Timperlake in their book. Clearly, Ng's status as "hometown boy" took him into the halls of the White House and into the power centers of communist China. Ng and his friends on both sides of the Chinese border reportedly make great profits in drugs, money laundering, guns and women. Ng's flesh business is made even easier because of the vast numbers of poor Chinese women seeking employment in a so-called "free market." According to China Rights Forum, a journal of human rights in China, poor Chinese women are promised easy jobs in the south as a lure into prostitution. Migrant female workers -- either abandoned or too poor to return home -- are swept up by the frequent street raids of the People's Armed Police, and then forced into prostitution. Once arrested, Chinese women are detained without charges under brutal conditions in "C&R" centers run by the People's Armed Police. A February China Rights Forum interview of former C&R detainees included the recently published case of "Ling X," an anonymous Chinese engineer who was arrested because a PAP officer struck him. "Ling said female detainees were often subjected to violence if they did anything that the guards did not like," noted the China Rights interview. "One time during dinner, he saw a female detainee being slapped in the face and then beaten with a bamboo stick and belt. Ling said most of the female detainees were quite young. He said most were girls who had run away from their families in rural areas to find jobs in big cities like Shenzhen or Zhuhai." "Many girls want to make some money in a summer job to surprise their families or support their families financially," stated Ling to the China Rights Forum reporter. "They are easily cheated by traffickers or job agencies. Many of them don't get the job or the pay they were promised. For example, they are told they will work in sales before they go, but they end up in a sauna, a massage club, or a 'hair salon' that fronts for a brothel, and then ultimately get detained in the C&R center." Has the Clinton administration and the communist leadership in Beijing ignored the problem? Is this state-sponsored trafficking? One expert who says yes is the National Organization of Women's Dulles, Virginia chapter President Marie-Jose Ragab. After working for over a decade on the trade issue and state-sponsored prostitution. Ragab's stand on the sale of women has led her to split openly with the feminist mainstream and oppose President Clinton's policies. "The fact that the loosening of trans-border regulations has allowed a freer circulation of capital and goods has been a boost to the traditional activities of organized crime," said Ragab. "To the degree that it possesses unprecedented masses of 'dirty' money, it constantly twirls around the globe in permanent search of respectability in order to enter the regulated financial system, something politicians have the power to provide." "The abominable buying and selling of women is an integral part of it, as it has always been, hence the effort by some governments to legitimize such a lucrative trade since women have become, in this new world order, no more than a mercantile commodity, a 'product' just like any other," asserted Ragab. "It is seldom explained for what it is -- a modern form of slavery masked by official passports and airplane trips, but slavery nevertheless. Instead, the mainstream media, government agencies and unknowledgeable women's groups encourage the public to focus on relieving the individual condition of the trafficked women, not the root causes, reinforcing the trading thereby." Ragab also noted her dissatisfaction with the current feminist mainstream and their support of the Clintons. "As with rape and sexual harassment, feminist hypocrisy rules supreme, for their professed outrage never extended beyond slick brochures and tantalizing Internet ads," Ragab told WorldNetDaily. "They have fully supported the 1995 'President's Interagency Council on Women' headed by Mrs. Clinton, an instrument intended to create international prosecution-free loopholes so badly needed by traffickers everywhere, and I could not help but remember how Eleanor Smeal systematically prevented my presenting these facts to the NOW National Board in the years I served as International Director for the group." Ragab also noted she expected that a Sen. Hillary Clinton from New York would continue to support World Trade and U.N. efforts to legalize state-sponsored prostitution. "I see no reason why she would not, based on the record, and based on the concept advanced by perverse and/or plain dumb feminists that women are intelligent adults who have the right to chose their lifestyle and to dispose of their body as they see fit," stated Ragab flatly. "State-sponsoring of prostitution has long been the dream of many governments, one the Netherlands just reached when they recently made prostitution a taxable 'job.' Thailand and the Philippines come to mind as well, along with many others." "It is a sadistic, woman-hating inversion of previously-sound concepts then, designed to encourage women to reach their potential, a rationalization of barbarism when we know what the sold women endure, the tortures, the inability to leave the milieu, the often wretched abusive childhoods and lawless environments which foster trafficking," concluded Ragab. And what of Johnny Chung? Convicted in 1998 of illegal campaign donations to Bill and Hillary Clinton, Chung has recently been the target of more than one assassination attempt. Despite the threat to his life, Chung asserts he made the Clinton administration aware of Ng's dangerous connections to the Chinese prostitution business. "I told the FBI about Ng," said Chung. "I told the Department of Justice about the mayor and Middleton. I told them everything and more. Yet, nothing has been done." © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com, Inc. . <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
