These people usually dress in black suits, ride in black limousines, have a secret income but control the national economy and society's lifelines. The Daily Mail article, which was published on January 29th, cited a report from the U.S. think tank, Brookings Institute. It said that the black-collars control the most important economic and social aspects in mainland China. Some of them are chiefs of large state-owned enterprises, some are presidents of banks, and some have become a provincial governor or minister. Black-collars control a huge amount of wealth and resources. They are extremely corrupt. As beneficiaries of the Chinese dictatorship, they do everything in their power to maintain their privileges and benefits. The article lists whom they consider to be the 10 most powerful black-collars. Zhou Yongkang, who is a member of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Central Politburo, the chairman of CCP's Politics and Law Committee, the former general manager of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and the former minister of Public Security, is listed as a representative of the black-collars. Wikileaks unveiled that Zhou Yongkang divides the profits from China's oil industry with other associates. He went to Sudan, an oil producing country, 14 times for oil trade. The other nine are Li Xiaolin, the chairman of China Power; Wang Jianzhou, the chairman of the board of China Mobile, the telecom giant; Su Shulin, the current governor of Fujian province and former chairman of the board of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation Limited (SINOPEC); Zhu Yanfeng, a current member of Jilin province standing committee and former general manager of FAW Group; Zhang Qingwei, the current governor of Hebei province and former chairman of the board of Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC). Black-collars also hail from the financial industry. Chen Yuan, the chairman of the board of National Development Bank, Xiao Gang, the chairman of the board of Bank of China and BoC HongKong, and Guo Shuqing, chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission are on the list. They control not only domestic property, but also overseas assets transferred from China by the CCP. In addition, Zhang Guoqing, the general manager of the Chinese weapon producer "China North Industries Group", is also on the list. Cao'an Jushi, a political and economic issues commentator: "Looking at the so-called China's 10 most powerful black-collars, each one of them has experience in business and politics. And all of them do business with the political power, and almost all of them are representatives of state-owned assets." Cao'an Jushi pointed out that the black-collars' history of wealth is tied into their strong relationship with the dictatorship, and all of them have an official background. Cao'an Jushi: "When they have a CCP official background, they will acquire more fortune during business transactions. Then, they use the obtained fortune to impact the execution of policies. They are officials and businessmen." Qi Yanchen, a Chinese economist told NTD that the expansion of state-owned enterprises has occupied the grounds of private enterprises, which has caused a backwards economy. His analysis shows that the authority uses state-owned enterprises to expand their business into the global market, which benefits state-owned enterprises both economically and politically. Many chairmen of state-owned enterprises were appointed governors of provinces. Qi Yanchen: "From a technical level, China's politics are definitely not electoral politics. It is appointed politics; central government leaders share power with those who they will benefit from." Cao'an Jushi also pointed out that behind the black-collars is the CCP dictatorship's exactions and continuous human rights violations. To change this situation, China must have political reform, so as to give voting rights to the people.
