Summary Four Corners looks at events surrounding the arrest of mining executive Stern Hu and the tensions now involved in doing business with China.On 29th March this year mining company executive Stern Hu was sentenced to ten years jail in China for accepting bribes and stealing commercial secrets.Stern Hu has not spoken to the media. The hearings that led to his conviction were closed, and the precise nature of the evidence used to convict him has still not been made clear. Four Corners reporter Marian Wilkinson reveals new details of the events surrounding his arrest, and looks at the fall-out generated by the Hu case.His former employer, Rio Tinto, is just one organisation that's learned there can be a high price to pay for doing business in China. Although executives and government leaders are reluctant to discuss the problems they've encountered, Four Corners shows how the Stern Hu case and other recent events have fundamentally changed the way both companies and governments do business with our powerful North-Asian trading neighbour
