This article, thought highly irrational, has a better explanation of the free trade zone. http://www.wnd.com/2011/01/257721/
“This ambitious, long-term proposal would start with a manufacturing and warehouse zone tied to the airport, and could signify a shift in the economic relationship between the two superpowers,” the Idaho Statesman’s Rocky Barker reported.”
It is much smaller than the size I was originally thinking. I was thinking 50 by 50 miles instead we are talking about.
“Officials of the China National Machinery Industry Corporation have suggested developing a technology zone occupying 10,000 to 30,000 acres south of the Boise airport for industry, retail centers and homes.”

It also points out these free trade zones are not a new thing: “Corsi noted that the U.S. government has created 257 foreign trade zones, or FTZs, throughout the United States, designed to extend special U.S. customs treatment to U.S. plants engaged in international-trade-related activities.”

It seems pretty far fetched to go from the above policies to Chinese invasion.

Retail and homes have never been a part of FTZ zones. I live near the border, and we do have free trade stores at the border crossing, but you have to stay over night to take advantage of them. The retail stores would only be open to the Chinese residents of the FTZ.

Think about it? Why do we want to allow Chinese residents to move to the US to occupy this FTZ? What possible benefit is it?

We do have lots of foreign companies that are receiving favored treatment from the Obama administration, like Siemans and Sumitomo, so maybe they also have FTZs, but I’ve never heard about it.

There is just nothing in this Chinese FTZ to benefit the US. I guess it would be one way to avoid having to renew China’s most favored nation status every couple of years, but that’s about it.

My daughter was doing some traveling to China on business and noticed a very strange phenomena in one of the cities, Black people a whole lot of Black people. The locals were very distressed about the presence of these people because they didn’t work, just received government money and brought in a lot of crime that wasn’t there before. The man said that the Black people were from Africa and that the government just dumped them in their city.

Maybe China wants to find a new place to dump their African detainees.
