HONG KONG — Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church is behind a $250-million car factory under construction in southern China, the South China Morning Post said.
The Post, Hong Kong’s largest English-language newspaper, said U.S.-based Panda Motor Corp. had financial backing from businessmen of the Unification Church, while Moon’s aide Pak Bo-hi was a director of the firm.
Panda is building the factory at Huizhou in southern China, about 50 miles northeast of Hong Kong.
