How Green is Norinco?

Check out the Website of Norinco, the Chinese company that markets machine guns, handguns, missiles, bombs, and numerous other weapons. They are a major source of destructive power, yet from the home page of their Website, you'd think they were a bunch of gentle peace activists working to plant more trees. Aw, the power of marketing!

According to Wikipedia's article on Norinco, Norinco created a controversy in the 1990s when FBI investigators caught them trying to smuggle in massive amounts of weapons to sell to gangs and drug dealers. And they've been accused of providing weapons to Iran. But hey, they love trees, so let's give them a break.
