Columbia , SC – At a press conference held at the South Carolina State Capitol today, Presidential candidate and U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) again called on Bain Capital, a company founded by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, to drop its strategic partnership with Chinese defense contractor Huawei Technologies in a bid to buy U.S. defense contractor 3Com. Hunter also called on Romney to use his continued influence with Bain to terminate the proposed merger between Huawei and 3Com, which, according to a report in today's Washington Times, would threaten U.S. national security.
"As the founder of Bain Capital, Governor Romney has an obligation to utilize his influence within the company to terminate the proposed merger between 3Com and Chinese defense contractor Huawei," said Hunter. "In light of China 's refusal to port several American naval vessels last week, it is increasingly more important that American military technology be protected from foreign companies, such as Huawei, that are closely aligned with the Chinese government."
The Washington Times reported today that U.S. intelligence agencies informed the CFIUS review committee, responsible for examining proposed foreign investment transactions, that a merger between 3Com and Huawei would threaten America 's national security. 3Com presently performs vital cyber-security work for the Department of Defense.
"This proposed deal, which Governor Romney can work to terminate should he choose to do so, is unpatriotic and damaging to national security," continued Hunter. As further detailed in a resolution introduced in the House of Representatives, Huawei has close ties to the military of Communist China and allegedly aided Saddam Hussein and the Taliban.
Earlier this month, Hunter sent a letter to Governor Romney requesting that he use his influence as the founder of Bain to terminate the company's partnership with Huawei, including the proposed merger with 3Com. Hunter, who is ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, has not received a response to the letter.

Step on China’s throat PING
You can take care of this now Mitt, or have the media use it against you later.
Hunter is deadly serious. It may be political to some degree, but it is in his blood to oppose this type of BS 1000%.
Duncan Hunter is the only candidate to stand up to China. Now the ball is in Romney’s court.
They’re testing us, much like Osama did,seeing just how far we can be pushed, little by little.
If we don’t push back, you can expect their next push to be harder.
COMMUNIST China is building it’s military with American dollars, and it’s an approximately $250 BILLION each YEAR trade imbalance, due to COMMUNIST China’s cheating.
Among other things, COMMUNIST China’s military hacked into our Pentagon last June.
We are making our enemy rich, and helping them to become a Superpower.
btw, my husband just read to me from the newspaper that 2 - 300 dogs died from the contaminated dog food (that they know of).
For consideration:

China Angles to Buy 3Com
Highlight:
>>>Huawei installed air defense networks for Saddam Hussein and the Taliban. The CIA, U.S. Defense Department, the Rand Corporation and even Indian intelligence agencies have openly documented Huawei’s links to Saddam and the Taliban.<<<

What the Chinese are buying with American trade dollars
“I’m Congressman Duncan Hunter. A few weeks ago when this Song Class Chinese submarine emerged next to one of our aircraft carriers about 80 miles off Okinawa, it shows the American people what the Chinese are buying with American trade dollars. They’re cheating on trade and they’re buying ships and planes and missles with our money as well as taking millions of jobs. Join me at Peace Through Strength for fair trade.”

Please take a few seconds to look at the picture of the COMMUNIST China submarine that Hunter is holding up, as a picture is worth a thousand words.
YOUR trade dollars at work, friends.
Huawei and 3Com are both communications companies. Labeling Huawei as a “defense contractor” while accurate does not fully describe what it does. That’s like labeling AT&T as a defense contractor because it contracts with the federal government. Even so, these types of deals need to be carfully scrutinized and this one in particular should be stopped for the reasons stated.

Here is another interesting tidbit —
“Huawei and American security firm Symantec announced in May 2007 the forming of a joint-venture company that will develop security and storage appliances to market to telecommunications carriers. Huawei will own 51% of the new company, to be named Huawei-Symantec Inc. Symantec will own the rest. The joint-venture will be based in the Chinese city of Chengdu”.
Ah hell MAN, flipflopmit will have to check with his liars er lawyers before committing to any such thing.

correction: Stomp on China’s throat ping.
THis is a good test for Mitt.
I had no idea so many Larry King watchers were Ron Paul fans.
Now is the time to but a knee in their groin.
Never, ever trust a communist. EVER
