Did some research if you want to read the law and the governors take on it here's the site. http://www.project60.idaho.gov/
If you want the lib side of the story, sad that it seems more reasonable, here's the Statesman take on it.

I would point out that the free trade zone doesn't give a piece of Idaho to the Chinese. In fact it appears to be a limit on where these investors can locate their businesses. Also keep in mind these investors are private individuals not the Chinese government.

There is really no such thing as “private Chinese investors”.

I know what free trade zones are. These free trade zones are part of the Agenda 21. They are not intended to benefit the US, just the opposite. These “free trade zones” are usually located in what the Agenda 21 refers to as “Gateways” or hubs of multi-modal transportation corridors.

There is so much more to this that I don’t feel like explaining to someone who obviously has his mind made up.

Obama and the Democrats are selling off America to pay off Obama’s huge gambling debt to China.

By the way, the free trade zones appear to involve FEDERAL tax exemptions, not just state tax exemptions.

Just exactly how do you see this trade zone benefitting the local Idaho residents?

One more point, they claim that this project will increase US exports? I guess they mean US export of Chinese goods, but how do you suppose they plan to export from southern Idaho?
