Kerry Led Outsourcing Team to Promote Manufacturing in China
During the late 1990s, John Kerry traveled on a "U.S. trade mission to the People's Republic of China organized and sponsored by a private corporation." To prove the trip was a success, the Massachusetts-based firm of Boston Capital & Technology photographed Kerry in the Beijing Great Hall of the People. The image (above) and trip information appear at www.us-china.com, Boston Capital's Website
The photo shows Kerry, an unnamed Chinese government official and Paul Marcus, the head of Boston Capital & Technology. Marcus refused to provide details of the China trip, including the time and date, whether the senator took money for his services, or the identity of the Chinese officials with whom Kerry met. "I am not doing an interview with you, and please don't call me again," Marcus declared.
The chief of Boston Capital and his Chinese-born wife, Moying Li, live in the same Beacon Hill district of Boston as Kerry, who used his half-interest in the family mansion to borrow $6.4 million to save his then-faltering presidential campaign.
While Marcus currently refuses to comment on the private trade trip to China, he does advertise his connection to Sen. Kerry on Boston Capital's Website, where Marcus claims that his firm was "China Advisor to U.S. Senator's commercial agenda for China." The Website goes on to says that Boston Capital: "Advised, assisted, and executed Minister-level commercial agenda for U.S. Senator. Advanced Senator in China for all Minister-level meetings, coordinated and acted as liaison to: The U.S. State Department, The U.S. Embassy in Beijing, The Department of Commerce, and all relevant Chinese authorities."

But he has no problem helping them move there. Guess now that he has done that he wants to make money moving them back too!
Let's get this distributed to our friends and hopefully we will see a RNC ad!
What military connections did he visit while there?
Kerry promoted outsourcing before he voted against it.
BUMP
This ought to be devastating but unless it's on the front page of the Slimes, Wash Post, etc, then forget it.
But Bush-Cheney/RNC ads are another story. Plus Bush and Cheney have to push this at the convetion and in the debates. What an outrage.
Yes.
FYI, there was already a different variant of this thread posted here.
BTW, do you think the RNC ad will look anything like this:
Backdrop Hides `Made in China' Labels
Was the Photo-Op, (Made in China) Cover Up Involving Bush Intentional?
Is Bush’s Sombrero Made in China?
I agree with you. But, it will get picked up by at least shows like Hannity, Rush, Mr. "I want to be fair" O'Reilly. Likely the Washington Times and the New York Post will carry it also.
The New York Times, Washington Post, ABCBSNBCNNMSNBC will only pick up on the story when the Dems have come out and called it a "hate filled hit piece" and of course printing that as the lead.
I continue to believe the China Daily and CCTV are more objective in reporting world events than is the liberal media.
Or maybe like the DNC making Al Jazeera take down their banner at the DNC convention that was hanging behind the stage?
Yep, same thing, different label.
No biggie. If the Asians can manufacture something cheaper than we can, why should I be forced to purchase a higher priced American manufactured good?
The trick for American workers is to learn skills that are not readily outsourced.
AFL-CIO, are you listening?
Wait listen for it! I am hear a big flip flop coming! Got article... thanks for posting! :)
Great data and thanks for posting it!
The next time a few of the gloom and doomers start ranting on this subject, we need post this article.
Thanks to BJungman.
The trick for American workers is to work to get the government off the backs of the companies they work for. I remember a Pittsburgh area steel company (I belive it was LTV) that was fined $1 million dollars by the EPA. It always amazed me that the workers never came to the defence of the company, insisting that the $1 million be saved within the company instead of going into the government coffers.
Sticking to the issue at hand, Kerry needs to explain this trip. Why was he promoting U.S. manufacturing in China? Prediction time: How long will it take the media to get on to this story? FR is days ahead...again!
Where is John Huang when you need him!
Sire John, this deserves your magic pinger!
LOL--We need his sage review---was John Kerry hawking for some company desiring to outsource, was he merely seeking a co-operative business deal with no employee exchange, was he grubbing for Chinese Red Army Money ala al gore and billy klinton....and WHY won't the bank manager in Boston, who was THERE, answer these questions! LOL
