- Comment on Iran War Could Be Making of the Petroyuan, Deutsche Bank Says 4 weeks ago:
Yes, the Deutsche Bank should know that as the company has traditionally strong ties with China. It’s a decades-long history. For example, in 2019, it accepted a fine after Deutsche Bank hired the relatives of foreign government officials in China and Russia in exchange for business.
Deutsche Bank is a big player in China, and it started years ago when he bank launched a brazen campaign to win business in China by charming and enriching the country’s political elite:
The bank gave a Chinese president a crystal tiger and a Bang & Olufsen sound system, together worth $18,000. A premier received a $15,000 crystal horse, his Chinese zodiac animal, and his son got $10,000 in golf outings and a trip to Las Vegas. A top state banking official, a son of one of China’s founding fathers, accepted a $4,254 bottle of French wine — Château Lafite Rothschild, vintage 1945, the year he was born.
Millions of dollars were paid out to Chinese consultants, including a business partner of the premier’s family and a firm that secured a meeting for the bank’s chief executive with the president. And more than 100 relatives of the Communist Party’s ruling elite were hired for jobs at the bank, even though it had deemed many unqualified.
This was all part of Deutsche Bank’s strategy to become a major player in China, beginning nearly two decades ago when it had virtually no presence there. And it worked. By 2011, the German company would be ranked by Bloomberg as the top bank for managing initial public offerings in China and elsewhere in Asia, outside Japan.

I don’t use Archive Today anymore over this, but I don’t know of a good replacement as the Web Archive doesn’t work on all sites as you will know. Any advice is welcome.
