David Stern, former assistant to Prince Andrew, secured a secret $240 million deal with the Chinese state in 2013 to build data centers. The deal involved Chinese pharmaceutical companies and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

Discussions occurred years after Jeffrey Epstein's conviction for sexual offenses, with Stern remaining connected to Epstein during this period. The arrangement is believed to have been facilitated by Andrew's networking despite his departure from the role of UK trade envoy.
