Slanted Investments

Is there no limit to the insidous, treacherous cunning of the Heathen Chinee? A bank set up by the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party has been found, amid the consternation of the master race, to be acting in the interests of the Chinese Communist Party. Such unauthorised exercise of soft power by the Yellow Peril has elicited squeals of moral outrage from straight-dealing gentlemen like Baron Patten of Barnes, who has never really felt that his position as the last Imperial Governor of Hong Kong gained him quite the obeisance he is due from the lesser breeds. Even so, given the bank's purchase, apparently in the name of credibility, of Britain's glistening pink ex-Head Boy and one of his more ludicrous Liberal Democrat fags, it appears that the Chinese Communist Party is either much more or much less subtle than it has hitherto been given credit for.
