I don't think you could ever mine a chief council's interview for much information. However, human rights activists are certainly targeted but you are way off base to suggest companys are not.<p>I am in a rush so I can't pull up a story I recent heard about where a foreign business man was brought into custody.  A large portion of billionaires in China are children of party officials that were installed in those positions.<p>The party very much wants to stay in power in China and they are not only worried about idealistic, which I am sympathetic to, and not so wealth opposition.  They are worried about business leaders and all evidence indicates they are keeping an eye on them as well.
