Uniview is a subsidiary of H3C Video Surveillance, which is listed as one of the stock investments owned by Bain Capital Asia. The “H” in H3C stands for Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., the Chinese telecommunications giant that is joined at the hip to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), and led by corporate president Ren Zhengfei, a dedicated CCP member and “retired” PLA officer.

But the Uniview/H3C investment is not the only troubling financial tie Romney and Bain have to Communist China. Bain Capital Asia also lists investments in Sinomedia Holding Limited, which boasts, among other things, of being the major sales organization of advertising for China Central Televison (CCTV — better known as Communist China TV). Among the directors listed for Sinomedia is Mr. Lian Yuming. A profile of Mr. Yuming in the Financial Times notes that he is a “researcher of the Research Center of National Conditions and Policies of the Party School of the Central Committee of Communist Party of China.”
