Communist party branch set up at Wal-Mart's China headquarters

BEIJING ?- Employees at Wal-Mart's China headquarters have set up a Communist party branch, the company and party said Monday, amid a campaign to expand the ruling party's presence in foreign companies.
The move follows the success of China's state-sanctioned labour body this year in setting up unions at the U.S. retailer's outlets. Wal-Mart is one of China's biggest and most prominent foreign employers, with a workforce of 36,000 and 68 stores.
The party branch was set up Friday at Wal-Mart headquarters in the southern city of Shenzhen, according to the party newspaper People's Daily and a Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokesman, Jonathan Dong.
"Quite a few of our associates (employees) are party members already, so they have a right to establish branch organizations," Mr. Dong said.
