Tue, 08/07/2007 - 23:55 — LD
Shougang Group (The Capital Steel Group), the third largest iron and steel company in China, is recruiting vehicle drivers from its employees for the Olympics. These drivers will serve members from International Olympics Committee, delegation leaders from overseas, sponsor representatives and other international dignitaries. Applicants who are Communist Party members and Communist Youth League members are preferred while those who have been involved with Falun Gong and other banned religious groups will be excluded.
Among other requirements, "candidates who are drivers by trade with associate or above academic degrees and some foreign language skills are preferred. Communist Party members and Communist Youth League members are preferred."
The "610 Office" of the company "will conduct background investigation to determine if the volunteering driver applicant has been involved with Falun Gong and other cult organizations, and make written recommendations."
All religious groups that are not recognized and registered by the Communist regime in China are "illegal" and labelled as "cult."
The "610 Office" was established on June 10, 1999 by the then leader of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, as an organization with the sole mission of eradicating Falun Gong. The "610 Office" has branches in all the Chinese cities, villages, governmental agencies, institutions, and schools.[2]
