Xi'an Mayor Dong Jun is ultimately responsible for the seizure of our Aleba Water assets by his government. This letter informs him that his subordinate, Qian Huwei, Deputy General Secretary of the Xi'an government, is actively collaborating with a criminal gang in Xi'an and with corrupt officials in his Land Bureau.

Dear Mayor Dong:
!
Since our meeting with Wang De An in June 2012, matters began to im-
prove regarding the confiscation and blockade of our Joint Venture. I
remind you that our Joint Venture has been approved by the Xi’an gov-
ernment. We also have an approval document from the Central Gov-
ernment’s Ministry of Commerce under the State Council.
!
However, since the involvement of Deputy General Secretary Qian
Huwei, matters have gotten worse. We had hoped that the support of
our Embassy in Beijing would underscore that this controversy is not “a
fight of one Chinese against another Chinese using an American gun”.
!
The matter is quite a bit more serious. The confiscation of U.S. investor
property in Lantian County comes after our Joint Venture has been op-
erating continuously for nearly 17 years on the same seven mu of land.
Our investors made significant financial commitments based on the in-
tegrity of your govenrment.
!
The problem centers on a land certificate to Runjia Real Estate Company.
This certificate confiscates our property. This certificate was issued by the
Xi’an Land Bureau. We have raised numerous requests to investigate the
fraudulent issuance of this certificate by corrupt Land Bureau officials.
Qian has made no investigation of this serious matter. Instead, he is pro-
tecting these corrupt officials. What is worse, Qian is interfering directly
in our Joint Venture by trying to get our factory manager to move away.
Gangsters have subsequently threatened to “make him disappear”.

2. There is no way for us to have this issue resolved here in Xi’an. We will
now seek compensation from the Central Government. This matter is no
longer an economic issue. It has become a political issue that we will be
raising in Washington, D.C. with our Congressional representatives.
!
We were told that former Mayor Chen Baogen and you have given
many instructions to resolve this matter in Lantian. We also know that
Mayor Chen Baogen instructed Lantian officials to “follow the Chinese
laws”. We believe that you have acted in good faith, and we appreciate
the support we have received from Wang De An.
!
However, your Deputy General Secretary Qian Huwei leaves us no
choice but to abandon our efforts in Xi’an and to move our work to Bei-
jing and Washington. Wang De An was gracious, listened carefully to
our issues, and opened the gates to our factory. In contrast, Qian Huwei
has refused to meet with me, has approved the blockade of our factory,
and promoted the persecution of our employees.
!
I assure you, this will not be the last you hear of Xi’an Aleba Water
Company. Our U.S. investors will never give up our fight against your
government’s corrupt officials.
!
Unfortunately, despite your efforts, the corruption in your government is
so pervasive, so out of control, that after six years of attempting to re-
solve this matter accordion to Chinese laws and regulations, we believe
that no U.S. investor is safe making financial commitments in Xi’an.

Sincerely,
