Fan Casting Sir Henry Lee Ching in BOND 17 (1990)

Son of an English aristocratic mother and a powerful Chinese general. This half-British half-Chinese computer genius has familial ties with Chiang Kai Shek, a historic Chinese Nationalist who was exiled to Burma when the communists took over. Lee’s father was a general who was killed during the civil war, leaving Sir Henry to feel ostracised by the Chinese and betrayed by the British, who did not intervene. Sir Henry gained powerful political contacts and lucrative business deals with various governments. From his indestructible ‘Lee Ching Tower’, a smart-tech skyscraper in Hong Kong’s commercial district, Sir Henry will stop at nothing until he unleashes havoc on the two nations.
