Founder of Blackwater Now Running Mercs for China?

Oh, this is just too rich:
[Erik Price's] newest title, acquired this month: chairman of Frontier Services Group, an Africa-focused security and logistics company with intimate ties to China's largest state-owned conglomerate, Citic Group. Beijing has titanic ambitions to tap Africa's resources—including $1 trillion in planned spending on roads, railways and airports by 2025—and Mr. Prince wants in.

With a public listing in Hong Kong, and with Citic as its second-largest shareholder (a 15% stake) and Citic executives sitting on its board, Frontier Services Group is a long way from Blackwater's CIA ties and $2 billion in U.S. government contracts. ...

At no point does Mr. Prince address the irony of ... going into business with a state-owned firm founded as part of Communist China's Ministry of State Security.
So the trigger-happy clown who styled himself as an all-American super patriot has now climbed into bed with the Chinese Communists.

"Commie stooge" is about right. Or you can use Stalin's term: Useful idiot.
