This IS the China lobby.
China joint ventures host UTC Chairman George David
China is an important market for United Technologies, and has been since our Otis Elevator unit sold the first elevator in Shanghai in 1907. Our Carrier unit followed with a project to cool a silk spinning mill in 1911. In the intervening years, the company has built an impressive business base in China, including 37 joint ventures across all six operating units. With 9,300 employees and an investment of more than $250 million, UTC has a strong presence in the mainland and in Hong Kong.
UTC Chairman and CEO George David toured UTC facilities in China in late February. David, who has been to China more than 40 times since taking the helm at UTC, focused on in-depth assessments of current operating conditions and hands-on meetings with employees during the trip. David travels extensively visiting UTC factories and offices to ensure that all UTC facilities are operating responsibly and at peak performance, as well as in compliance with stringent environmental, health and safety standards.
General Electric is another China hand...

This is the crowd that has dictated our China policy for years. Expect them to come out in force against Bush in the next election.
