An American executive said he has been held hostage for four days at his medical supply plant in Beijing by scores of workers demanding severance packages like those given to 30 co-workers in a phased-out department.

Chip Starnes, 42, a co-owner of Coral Springs, Florida-based Specialty Medical Supplies, said local officials had visited the 10-year-old plant on the capital's outskirts and coerced him into signing agreements Saturday to meet the workers' demands even though he sought to make clear that the remaining 100 workers weren't being laid off.

Team Obama doesn't care about helping American small businessmen...here or anywhere....and its diplomatic skills are nearly worthless.

China, like Russia, laughs at the regime.

Hong Kong, China, Russia, Ecuador,Libya, Egypt, . . . the list of companies that treat us like a third-world hellhole is growing. Obama treats us like his subjects in his own personal third-world hellhole, so being treated that way by other countries should not be a surprise.

Yep, they are laughing now.
At some point they will no longer be amused.
