I'm not sure how many of you have heard of that particular
corporation - PLA Macrotechnology, that is. I'd like to call your
attention to it.

It is a 'corporation' consisting of China's military companies, which
is under military direction. Its purpose is to provide weapon
platforms and weapons for domestic use, as well as export. It has
quite extensive finances, and I would expect that company in
particular to be of interest in the SR world. It is also fairly
diversified into other areas of warfare than weapons - uniforms,
medicine, boots, foods, etcetera... and then further diversification,
still under 100% military ownership.

In the book Dragon Strike, this corporation used inside knowledge to
make a few billions on advance knowledge about a surprise attack in
the south china sea. That book is more a theoretical 'what if'' than
a thriller - no main characters, and quotes a lot of speeches,
leaflets and so on to support its hypothesis.

... just in case you need an A/A+ (but not AAA) megacorporation
based on current corporations, which might have a few 'ulterior
motives' with what they do.
