Open borders, and further fellating of the ChiComs. This should open some real debate. When I read this, I became quite upset - again - at the actions this administration has taken regarding "foreign policy", especially as of late. It feels like "deja vu, all over again".

One can only hope that we are selling them garbage that will either break down, or can be exploited by us somehow.

Given the Administration's track record on many things as of late however, I doubt it.

"As China's Military Power Grows, U.S. Eases Restrictions on Strategic Exports to Beijing"

And stops the staging of Israel's Arrow-2 missile defense to open it up to nuclear strikes from Muslim states. ...doesn't make sense. It appears to be a formula all the way around for starting WWIII.

"The Bush administration acknowledges a major increase in the sale of U.S. components and technology that could bolster China's military. Sources said the administration has reduced export restrictions on numerous high-technology items required by China's military."

WTF over?!

[endthematrix]

Sorry to be off topic, but India and Pakistan restrictions have been eased as well.

The only reasons that I have tepidly supported The President;

The way he lead us during 911 and the war on terror.

His character.

His genuine support of our troops.

With his sellout in China he is putting our men and women of our military at risk at a future date. I would go as far to say the he will be responsible for deaths of these people. The President is eroding the vary reason for my tepid support. With run-away spending, frightening expansion of the Fed government, lack of leadership on appointments and the wide-open boarders can anyone make a case for my continuing with my tepid support?

Well, outsourcing manufacturing of military equipment to China is one way to help lower the defense budget.

I'll take Geostrategy-Direct (AKA, WorldTribune, WorldTechTribune,...) with a large grain of salt. It has issued some business-prop in the past--for example, a piece saying that Microsoft Windows was the world's most secure system.

The piece you posted might be a constituent softener to make way for corporates to get what is announced without their having obtained it.

I'm going to look into it and hold the information that will be found for further sightings like this.

SJackson, check this out. It's a Bill Gertz piece.

From the article:

The boom in sales of dual-use technology comes at a time when the Pentagon is sounding the alarm on the rapid growth of China's military and when the U.S. has pressed Israel to significantly reduce military exports to Beijing.
[...]

The commission hearing took place as the administration pressed Israel for a memorandum of understanding that would block all military and dual-use exports to China. Officials acknowledged that the administration intends to prevent Israel from selling dual-use equipment approved for U.S. export.

"Currently, our export regime is far more transparent than those of the Israelis," an official said. "We know what we are exporting and we know the end user."

Well, he's blowing it with China, let's see if he blows the Supreme Court appointments.

After they buy our oil company...do they get the refineries
that go with it?...

If so will they let us have any of the gas or diesel produced
at the expense of OUR air and water quality?...

And if they do let us have it?...how much will it cost us?...

Which oilmen/businessmen who call themselves Americans will gain from this
sell out?

"It is not only absurd, but it is dangerous for the taxpayers of this country to be subsidizing the construction of nuclear power plants in China," said Rep. Bernard Sanders, At-Large congressman from Vermont
