China chipping away at US national security

Why did our government adopt NAFTA, GAT and the WTO

Whenever major trade legislation or any type of legislation comes up, the Republcians have at their disposal many fine think tanks that can give the Republican leadership excellent independent analysis of how this legislation will affect our nation. By not asking, or by not taking the advice of think tanks, the Republicans are partners with the RATs in the wholesale giveaway of American treasures.

Make no mistake about this--the Republicans have allowed this nation to give away its treasures and they are fully aware of what they are doing. We have weakened our own nation with full approval by Republican leadership.

Why?

(1) We have become globalists, not a nation that pursues "America First". The "we" hear includes the Republicans, of course. (2) Because politicians are more concerned about world popularity, constituent popularity and retainng their job than they care about the welfare of 290,000,000 Americans and our future descendants. (3) I am sure there is a third reason. Who wants to take a stab at it?

>I am sure there is a third reason. Who wants to take a stab at it?<

All I can think of is what Nicolai Krauschev said in the early '50's "We will beat you from within". And was it Pogo who said, "So we have met the enemy and he is us?"

Our President says it is his goal to free the world, would that his sights be peeled on the one country he presides over!

Still, I hopefully ask, "what do we do now?" How do we awaken this sleeping nation to stand up and roar?" Or do we just cower and whimper as we slip further into the communists control?

DTOM, all I can think of is what Nicolai Kruschev said in the early '50's, "we will beat you from within." Was it Pogo who said, "So we have met the enemy and he is us?"

Still I hopefully ask, "what do we do now?" How do we awaken this wonderful sleeping nation to stand up and roar? Or do we cower and whimper as we slip further into the grip of, and eventual slavery, of communism?

Anyone, please, what do we do now?

Post 22 took so long to appear I thought I had'nt struck the second post. Sorry. M

The Clintons sure had their hand in the transfer of information but the Chinese Commies are doing just fine getting it on their own. They caught two tech spies at one of my companies subsidiaries a couple of years ago. My company hired them right out of college here in the U.S. even though they were Chinese citizens. It was one of those "diversity" hire things. The company then put them in a tech research environment where they could obtain maximum access to our latest information. They got plenty of diversity out of that decision. We are our own worst enemies.

[tallhappy]

This guy goes back and forth, all over the map, arguing with himself. He crabs about IBM selling them a PC factory, but then tells us that the best way for the communists to stay in power is to block the people's access to information. Well, which is it?

Your criticisms are fair enough. Yet, the above from you is more illogical than anything in Paul Lin's piece.

[tallhappy]

I've got bad news for you: China already has ICBM's fully capable of striking the US mainland. One of her top generals (=warlords) openly threatened to nuke Los Angeles if we tried to prevent the "unification" (=conquest) of Taiwan. North Korea is on the brink of being able to reach the US mainland with their missiles as well.

That was Xiong Guangkai.

This week he has been conferring with Richard Lawless, undersecretary of Defense.

[Golden Eagle]

I found the piece to be exactly accurate, especially the part about this great plan of yours to "westernize" China is actually strengthening them and weakening us. The facts are as far as you have to look.

So should this current course of the US going down in debt and the Chinese economy leading the world continue indefinitely, what is your plan B? Or do you even have one? Haven't heard it yet.

[Paul_Denton]

How and when is it exactly that the president has abandoned Taiwan? Cite an example. Denying weapons sales? No. Denying them our presence in their territorial waters? No. Denying them intelligence data? No. Calling on the ChiComs to stop placing missiles on the strait? Yes. Allowing high level contacts with Taiwanese defense officials and our DoD? Yes. So let's hear your PROOF, not just your interpretation of diplomatic BS.

Not only that, active duty congressional-level talks between politicians from both nations are commonplace. Taiwan even sent an active-duty high rankng government official to Bush's inaguration!

[Paul_Denton]

And on the issue of China's "chipping away at US national security," shall we mention Jimmy Carter's giving away the Panama Canal to the Chinese?

The MSM may credit that it was only Nixon, but the fact is Jimmy Carter also had a hand in de-recognizing Taiwan and recignizing red China (in addition to handing the Panama Canal to the chicoms).

[Paul_Denton]

No, it's not coincidental. Clinton still has official contacts inside China, as well as people inside our government doing his bidding. Same goes with Bill Gates, and his shameful ChiCom ass kissing the other day. Gates evidently has some serious cash riding on the demise of the US and the ascendancy of China. There's no shortage of traitors in high places these days.

Too many of our politicians is pro-China. Congress is the only part of our government with a pro-Taiwan majority. What a sad picture.

[Paul_Denton]

Anyone who thinks China won't be an economic superpower and fully capable of ICBM warfare by 2040 is kidding themselves. There is absolutely no way to prevent it.

Unless we strike first and that is a perfectly viable option. Too many of our politicians are gutless and/or greedy!

[ken21]

if lenovo is a threat to our national security,

then, we've got some severe problems!

We're not about to attack China, nor are they going to attack us. Our economic ties are far too strong and we're not prepared to lose Los Angeles in the process.

A far better approach is to undermine the current political control of China. I would welcome China as a friendly democracy, and that's far more realistic than a pre-emptive strike against them.

[Paul_Denton]

We're not about to attack China, nor are they going to attack us. Our economic ties are far too strong and we're not prepared to lose Los Angeles in the process

Well the Chicoms have expressed their willingness to lose their economy several over the past two years. If they are as extreme as they say, then we have no choice. Too many times have the red Chinese have been appeased. We need to draw a line and if we lose LA, thats a price worth paying to stop them.

[Dog Gone]

Iran or North Korea are far bigger threats than China. China knows it can't destroy us without getting annihilated, and they have an economic incentive to keep their best customer intact.

China isn't run by crazy people.
