Mitt Romney’s communist connection Bain Capital
Most Americans probably are not intimately familiar with Huawei (pronounced “Wa-way,” as if Gilda Radner of Saturday Night Livefame were asked to pronounce the name). The company’s founder, Ren Zhengfei is a former officer of the People’s Liberation Army.
Tough to know what to make of that. When it comes to speaking with the press, Ren is a regular Greta Garbo. A mini-profile Forbes ran three years ago noted that many of Huawei’s major customers are state-run businesses in China. And while Ren owns 1 percent of the company, the rest belongs to an unidentified “union.”
Go figure.
Meanwhile, Ren has gone about building Huawei into a success story disregarding the usual corporate niceties. In 2000–the CIA accused Huaweiof secretly selling a communications system to Iraq. In the final report of the Iraq Survey Group, Huawei and two other Chinese companies were singled out for carrying out “extensive work in and around Baghdad”–mainly telecommunication switches and the installation of fiber-optic cable.
Then in 2003, Cisco socked Huawei with a patent infringement lawsuit. Cisco claimed Huawei ripped off its intellectual property to make a lineup of routers and switches. Huawei denied the allegations though in the end caved.
But if at all possible, business doesn’t let politics intrude. So it is that Friday we learned that Bain Capital is paying $2.2 BILLION to acquire 3Com. Part of the deal involves China’s Huawei Technologies, which will acquire a minority stake in 3Com.
And, oh, by the way, Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor running for the Republican presidential nomination–he headed Bain Capital for 14 years.
Six degrees of separation. In this case only 2–but who’s counting.
I wonder whether a future President Romney might have commented on Huawei figuring in a major U.S. tech acquisition. I’m darned sure candidate Romney has since turned off his cell phone for an early start to the weekend.

The following are the overall donation numbers from employees of the big Wall Street banks and their wives….
Mitt Romney: $813,300
Barack Obama: $198,874
Tim Pawlenty: $101,515
Rick Perry: $58,900
Jon Huntsman: $28,250
Ron Paul: $13,104
Herman Cain: $2,715
Michelle Bachmann: $1,500
Newt Gingrich: $1,250
These numbers paint a very disturbing picture. Even though Romney’s poll numbers are in the mid to low 20s most of the time, employees of the big Wall Street banks gave him $813,300 during the first 9 months of this year and they only gave $105,719 to the rest of the Republican candidates combined.

Unlikely leader force behind rebirth of consulting firm
Austin American-Statesman - Friday, May 27, 1994
Author: Glenn Rifkin, NEW YORK TIMES SERVICE: AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN
EXCERPT
Orit Gadiesh , a striking Israeli with purple hair, flamboyant jewelry and short black skirts, was elected chairman in July after a 17-year Bain career that marked her as one of the company's brightest, most inventive consultants in a profession dominated by aggressive young men with Ivy League MBAs.
Gadiesh , who refuses to give her age but who acquaintances say is in her early 40s, is an intuitive, straight-talking consultant who has a reputation for staring clients in the eye and delivering the news bluntly.
Those close to Bain, including Gadiesh herself, give the credit for Bain’s revival to W. Mitt Romney , a former Bain consultant who stepped in in 1990 at the behest of the company's partners to become chief executive and straighten things out. He has since left to try politics.
But Gadiesh (pronounced GUH-deesh) took on a visible role in holding the company together at its darkest hour. “Everybody looked to her to see what she would do,” said Keith Aspinall, a Bain partner.

Two's company, three's a squeeze
They say three's a crowd, but hey, when you're hand-picked by the governor-elect to be jammed into a room, let's face it - you'll squeeze in. Here, Convention Center Authority Chairwoman Gloria Larson finds herself wedged between founding partner of Axxon Capital Sheryl Marshall, left, and Bain and Co. Chairwoman Orit Gadiesh at the Parker House announcement of Gov.-elect Mitt Romney ‘s transition team.
