My favorite example of just how stupid Erik Prince must think the public is. Back in 2017 he was eagerly promoting exactly what he denies now. He is so cheap he reused his Blackwater illustration to pitch FSG paramilitary...er sorry..logistics services. washingtonpost.com/news/world/wp/… 
The December 2016 press release about Frontier Services Group expansion into Yunnan and Xinjiang has been scrubbed. Right around a spike in violent attacks in the same regions. Also now denied by China in a report on human rights. ft.com/content/e69429…
Dec 2016: What is fascinating is the linkage between increased regional violence, expansion of the OBOR into contested areas, FSG's pivot from Africa to security provider and Prince's eagerness to support Communist Chinas expansionism....and the denials. scmp.com/news/china/soc…
The story of Prince resonates with the current Arab dictator's abuse of American military skill sets and technology. The Chinese view of their Celestial Empire is also embracing the use of mercenaries and the obligatory denials to expand their interests. bths.edu/ourpages/auto/…
