Two new working groups in Congress focus on China
Two new congressional groups have been formed to focus on the growing power of China.
The House has formed the Congressional China Caucus, headed by Virginia Republican J. Randy Forbes.
The caucus will "take a critical look" at Chinese military issues, economy and trade, intellectual property, energy and resources and human rights and religious freedom issues.
The caucus has 28 members including conservative House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Duncan Hunter, Republican from California.
On the other side of the China debate is the U.S.-China Working Group, which has the support of the Chinese government.
The working group was formed last week in the House. It opened with a speech by Chinese ambassador to the United States Zhou Wenzhong. "What is more important is to handle the differences through consultations and dialogue," he said.
Rep. Mark Kirk, Illinois Republican, and Rick Larsen, Washington Democrat lead the working group. It includes more than 20 members who seek to promote diplomatic and economic ties between the United States and China and to increase congressional engagement.
This has been going on for five years. Clinton's policies on transfers of military technology to China have remained in place - and even been loosened. Two years ago, this administration allowed the plant that manufactures smart-bombs to be transferred to China. The scum corporate owners made the usual empty promises not to allow the technology to fall into Chinese hand. Just like Bernie Schwartz and Loral did, once again proving Marx's sole truthful comment: There are plenty of businessmen who will sell you the rope today that will be used to hang them tomorrow. Useful idiots.
Heaven knows what else has been sold off. Once upon a time, this kind of activity was known as treason. The Republicans have to be in on the scam. That's why they let Clinton skate when they should have impeached him and tried him on charges of treason - a charge that's just a tad more serious than perjuring yourself about having interns give you blow jobs. More "compassionate conservatism" in action - compassionate to the bank accounts of treasonous corporate crooks, thugocracies, and third-world kleptocrats worldwide, with money freshly picked from taxpayer pockets. It's really horrible, and I'm sure we don't even know the half of it.
