Remember everything that has been said here should you even consider eating anything made in China, taking any medication made in China, or with Chinese ingredients, or in any other way putting a product of China on or in your body.

But those are only the most critical examples. Also a huge problem is substandard parts, screws, bolts, nuts, etc. holding together critical infrastructure, as well as the quality and spying problems inherent in anything electronic or software-related from there. We MUST divorce our supply chains from China, period. When Trump returns, he should declare China a national security risk, whatever process is required to do that within the Commerce Department, and work out phase-out deadlines for companies that rely upon Chinese manufacturing or Chinese materials. We simply cannot trust such a backward and corrupt culture to supply nearly everything we consume.

Who ever threw the coin should be charge with attempted mass murder. If there is such a charge in China. Maybe that person will just disappear.

My father worked for McDonnell Douglas doing the final inspection on military planes before they flew off to be delivered. One time he brought home a brochure called “Preventing FOD,” which I read, and as a child I learned about what coins, screws, etc., could do to a jet engine. Maybe China could translate that to hand out at airports.

They’re superstitious. Proving yet again it’s bad luck to be superstitious.

If he really wanted to be lucky, he should have thrown the coins at the pilot.

***Don’t throw coins into engines ***

We learned back in 1966 USAF aircraft maint school that this was a very common way to sabotage an aircraft.
