The murder of a relative is horrible for anyone, anywhere. My
father's grief was impenetrable; to this day, he has not broken
his silence on the subject. For the rest of the family, though,
there was added disgrace. For traditional Chinese, luck is a
moral attribute, and a lucky person would never be murdered.
Like having a birth defect, or marrying a non-Chinese, being
murdered is shameful.
My three younger sisters and I were very fond of Aunt Leona,
who was petite and quirky and had never married. Like many

2. wealthy Filipino Chinese, she had all kinds of bank accounts in
Honolulu, San Francisco, and Chicago. She visited us in the
United States regularly. She and my father — Leona and Leon
— were close, as only twins can be. Having no children of her
own, she doted on her nieces and showered us with trinkets. As
we grew older, the trinkets became treasures. On my tenth
birthday, she gave me ten small diamonds, wrapped in toilet
paper. My aunt loved diamonds and bought them up by the
dozen, concealing them in empty Elizabeth Arden face
moisturizer jars, some right on her bathroom shelf. She liked
accumulating things. When we ate at McDonalds, she stuffed
her Gucci purse with free ketchups.
According to the police report, my Aunt Leona, "a 58-year-old
single woman," was killed in her living room with "a butcher's
knife" at approximately 8 p.m. Two of her maids who were
questioned confessed that Nilo Abique, my aunt's chauffeur, had
planned and executed the murder with their knowledge and
assistance.
"A few hours before the actual killing, respondent was seen
sharpening the knife allegedly used in the crime." After the
killing, "respondent [Abique] joined the two witnesses and told
them that their employer was dead. At that time, he was wearing
a pair of bloodied white gloves and was still holding a knife,
also with traces of blood." But Abique, the report went on to
say, had "disappeared" with the warrant for his arrest
outstanding. The two maids were released.
After the funeral, I asked one of my uncles whether there had
been any further developments in the murder investigation. He
replied tersely that the killer had not been found. His wife
explained that the Manila police had essentially closed the case.
Why were they not more shocked that my aunt had been killed
by people who worked for her, lived with her? Or that the maids
had been released? When I pressed my uncle, he was brusque.

3. "That's the way things are here," he said. "This is the
Philippines — not America."
My uncle was not simply being callous. As it turns out, my
aunt's death is part of a common pattern. Hundreds of Chinese
in the Philippines are kidnapped every year, almost invariably
by ethnic Filipinos. Many victims, often children, are brutally
murdered, even after ransom is paid. Other Chinese, like my
aunt, are killed without a kidnapping, usually in connection
with a robbery.
Nor is it unusual that my aunt's killer was never apprehended.
Police in the Philippines, all poor ethnic Filipino themselves,
are notoriously unmotivated in these cases. Asked by a Western
journalist why it is so frequently the Chinese who are targeted,
one grinning Filipino policeman explained, "They have more
money."
My family is part of the Philippines' tiny but entrepreneurial,
economically powerful Chinese minority. Just 1 percent of the
population, Chinese Filipinos control as much as 60 percent of
the private economy, including the country's four major airlines
and almost all its banks, hotels, shopping malls, and
conglomerates. My own relatives in Manila, who run a plastics
conglomerate, are only "third-tier" Chinese tycoons. Still, they
own swaths of prime real estate and several vacation homes.
They also have safe deposit boxes full of gold bars, each the
size of a Snickers bar. My Aunt Leona FedExed me a similar
bar as a law school graduation present.
Since my aunt's murder, one childhood memory keeps haunting
me. I was eight, visiting from the United States, and staying at
my family's splendid hacienda-style house in Manila. It was
before dawn, still dark when I went to the kitchen for a drink.
But I must have gone down an extra flight of stairs because I
literally stumbled onto six male bodies.

4. I had found the male servants' quarters. My family's house-
boys, gardeners, and chauffeurs — I sometimes imagine that
Nilo Abique was among them — were sleeping on mats on a dirt
floor. The place stank of sweat and urine. I was horrified.
Later that day, I mentioned the incident to my Aunt Leona, who
laughed affectionately and explained that the servants — there
were perhaps 20 living on the premises, all ethnic Filipino —
were fortunate to be working for our family. If not for their
positions, they would be living among rats and open sewers,
without even a roof over their heads. A Filipino maid then
walked in with a bowl of food for my aunt's Pekingese dog. The
Filipinos, my aunt continued — in Chinese, but not caring
whether the maid understood — were lazy and unintelligent, and
didn't really want to do much else. If they didn't like working
for us, they were free to leave any time. After all, they were
employees, not slaves.
According to the World Bank, UNICEF, and official statistics of
the Philippines, nearly two-thirds of the Philippines' 80 million
ethnic Filipinos live on less than $2 a day, 40 percent spend
their entire lives in temporary shelters, and 70 percent of all
rural Filipinos own no land. Almost a third have no access to
sanitation.
But that is not the worst of it. Poverty alone never is. Poverty
by itself does not make people kill. To poverty must be added
indignity, hopelessness, and grievance.
In the Philippines, millions of ethnic Filipinos work for
Chinese; almost no Chinese work for Filipinos. The Chinese
dominate industry and commerce at every level of society.
Global markets intensify this dominance: When foreign
investors do business in the Philippines, they deal almost
exclusively with Chinese. Apart from a handful of corrupt

5. politicians and a few aristocratic Spanish mestizo families, all
of the Philippines' billionaires are Chinese. By contrast, all
menial jobs in the Philippines are filled by Filipinos. All
peasants, domestic servants, and squatters are Filipinos. Outside
Manila, thousands of ethnic Filipinos lived on or around the
Payatas garbage dump: a 12-block-wide mountain of fermenting
refuse known as The Promised Land. By scavenging through
rotting food and animal carcasses, squatters eked out a living.
In July 2000, as a result of accumulating methane gas, the
garbage mountain imploded and collapsed, smothering more
than 100 people, many of them young children.
When I asked an uncle about the Payatas explosion, he was
annoyed. "Why does everyone want to talk about that? It's the
worst thing for foreign investment."
I wasn't surprised. My relatives live literally walled off from
the Filipino masses, in a posh, all-Chinese residential enclave,
on streets named Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Armed, private
security forces guard every entry point.
Each time I think of Nilo Abique — he was 6' 2" and my aunt
was 4' 11" — I well up with a hatred and revulsion so intense, it
is actually consoling. But over time, I have also had glimpses of
how the Chinese must look to the vast majority of Filipinos, to
someone like Abique: as exploiters, as foreign intruders, their
wealth inexplicable, their superiority intolerable. I will never
forget the entry in the police report for Abique's "motive for
murder": not robbery, despite the jewels and money the
chauffeur was said to have taken, but just one word: "Revenge."
There is a connection between my aunt's killing and the waves
of global violence and mass murder that we read about with
mounting frequency. It lies in the relationship — and
increasingly the explosive collision — among the three most

6. powerful forces operating in the world today: markets,
democracy, and ethnic hatred.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, a common economic and
political consensus emerged, not only in the West, but to a
considerable extent around the world. Markets and democracy,
working hand in hand, would transform the world into a
community of modernized, peace-loving nations. In the process,
ethnic hatred, religious zealotry, and other "backward" aspects
of underdevelopment would be swept away. The sobering lesson
of the last 20 years, however, is that the global spread of free-
market democracy — at least in its current, raw, for-export form
— has been a principal aggravating cause of ethnic violence
throughout the non-Western world.
The reason has to do with a phenomenon — pervasive outside
the West, yet rarely acknowledged — indeed often viewed as
taboo — that turns free-market democracy into an engine of
ethnic conflagration. The phenomenon is that of market-
dominant minorities: ethnic minorities who — for widely
varying reasons ranging from entrepreneurialism to a history of
apartheid or colonial oppression — can be expected under
market conditions to economically dominate the "indigenous"
majorities around them, at least in the near to mid-term future.
Examples of market-dominant minorities include the Chinese,
not just in the Philippines, but throughout Southeast Asia. Most
recently, in Myanmar, ethnic Chinese have literally taken over
the economies of Mandalay and Yangon. Whites are a market-
dominant minority in South Africa and Zimbabwe — and, in a
more complicated sense, in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and
much of Latin America. Indians are a market-dominant minority
in East Africa, Fiji, and parts of the Caribbean, as are Lebanese
in West Africa and Jews in post-Communist Russia. Ibo are a
market-dominant minority in Nigeria as were Croats in the
former Yugoslavia and Tutsi in pre-genocide Rwanda.

7. In countries with a market-dominant minority, markets and
democracy will tend to favor not just different people or
different classes, but different ethnic groups. Markets magnify
the often astounding wealth of the market-dominant minority
while democracy increases the political power of the
impoverished "indigenous" majority.
In such circumstances, where the rich aren't just rich — but
belong to a resented, "outsider" ethnic group — the pursuit of
free-market democracy often becomes an engine of catastrophic
ethno-nationalism, pitting a poor "indigenous" majority, easily
aroused and manipulated by opportunistic politicians, against a
hated ethnic minority.
Consider Indonesia: Free-market policies in the 1980s and
1990s led to a situation in which the country's 3 percent
Chinese minority controlled 70 percent of the country's private
economy. The introduction of democracy in 1998 — hailed with
euphoria in the United States — produced a violent backlash
against both the Chinese and markets. Some 5,000 shops and
homes of ethnic Chinese were burned and looted, 2,000 people
died, and 150 Chinese women were gang-raped. Free and fair
elections in the midst of all this gave rise to ethnic scapegoating
by demagogic politicians, along with calls for confiscation of
Chinese assets and a "People's Economy" that would return
Indonesia's wealth to the country's "true owners," the pribumi
(indigenous Indonesian) majority. The wealthiest Chinese left
the country, along with $40 billion to $100 billion of Chinese-
controlled capital, plunging the country into an economic crisis
from which it has still not recovered.
Indonesia is part of a much larger global problem: Whenever
free-market democracy is pursued in the presence of a market-
dominant minority, the result is not peace and prosperity but

8. tremendous instability and some form of backlash — even mass
slaughter. Sept. 11 brought this same dynamic home to the
United States.
While Americans are not an ethnic minority, the world now sees
us as a kind of global market-dominant minority, wielding
outrageously disproportionate economic power relative to our
numbers. With just 4 percent of the world's population, the U.S.
is the principal engine and beneficiary of global capitalism. We
are also seen as "almighty," "exploitative," and "able to control
the world" by the world's poor, whether through military power
or through the IMF-implemented austerity measures forced on
developing populations. As a result, the United States has
become the object of the same kind of mass popular,
demagogue-fueled resentment that afflicts so many other
market-dominant minorities around the world.
For the last 20 years, the United States has been promoting
throughout the non-Western world a bare-knuckled, laissez-faire
brand of capitalism abandoned by every Western nation —
including the United States — long ago. At the same time, it has
been urging most of the developing world, with the conspicuous
exception of the Middle East, to hold immediate majority-rule
elections — "overnight democracy" — whereas Western
democracies evolved much more gradually.
The U.S. attempt now underway in Iraq to install free-market
democracy raises grave concerns. Like the former Yugoslavia,
Iraq's ethnic dynamics are extremely complex — including
long-suppressed hatreds among Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis —
and cross-cutting desires for revenge, especially against the
brutal Baathist regime and its allies. Post-invasion chaos has
made predictions impossible, but many fear that overnight
elections could create a fundamentalist Islamic state that is
opposed to free markets, to Washington, and to individual
liberties, especially for women.

9. Moreover, because the U.S. is the world's most powerful and
resented market-dominant minority, every move it makes with
respect to Iraq will be scrutinized by hostile eyes. The best
strategy for the U.S. may be the same one that market-dominant
minorities everywhere would be well-advised to pursue:
cooperate openly and fairly to advance a broad public interest,
and support a government that ensures that the country's
resources and wealth — in the Iraqi case oil — benefit all the
people.

Recommendations and Conclusions
Maintain positive momentum
Special committees
Simplified capital and ownership structure

Dell Technologies is experiencing strong positive momentum
across its businesses after a period of strong revenue growth,
earnings, cash flow and accelerated debt pay-down. Dell
Technologies believes the elimination of the Class V tracking
stock and simplification of the VMware ownership structure is
beneficial to VMware Class A public stockholders. VMware
Class A public stockholders will also participate pro rata in the
significant return of capital. VMware will remain an
independent publicly traded company. (Dell, n.d.).
The transaction simplifies Dell Technologies’ capital and
ownership structure and creates a class of publicly-traded
security that reflects the full value of the Dell Technologies
family of businesses. As a public company, Dell Technologies
has maintained and plans to continue to maintain the same
strategic focus on long-term growth that the company had
achieved while being privately managed.
By maintaining their positive momentum, continuing to create

17. better relationships, and simplifying their structures, DELL is
set out to do great things. The growth rate has maintained at
30% over the last three years and is looking to continue to do
so. The stocks have maintained their positive pricing and even
through COVID-19 will continue to stay that way. Purchasing
stocks now as the price lowers is an excellent idea because I
believe the company is headed in the right direction. They’ve
been on the Fortune 500 list for well over 25 years and has
maintained tis spot in the top 50 during this time. Overall,
DELL is the company to be at.
