Hillary's "concerns," as a Democrat, about Homeland Security are a joke.

Her husband, President Bill Clinton, used US tax dollars to help build a nuclear reactor near Shanghai that powers the building of Chinese warships in the Jiangnan shipyards.

Her husband gave preferential treatment to China's government-owned company, COSCO, even though 2,000 AK-47 assault rifles were smuggled into the US aboard a COSCO ship in 1996.

Hillary is PO'd because her friends, the Red Chinese, have been outbid by the Arabs who bought P&O

Only one month ago the British were alarmed when it looked like a Singapore-China alliance was going to buy P&O. If that had happened, China would have had control over 90% of the British ports.

Clinton was thwarted in his attempt to give a US Naval Base to a Chinese government company (COSCO) but Clinton succeeded in rewarding his rich pals in other ways [remember the Chinese campaign contribution scandals of the 90's?]

1. COSCO was given loan guarantees of $138 MILLION dollars to do shipbuilding in Mobile, Alabama
2. The Clinton Administration allowed COSCO's ships access to our most sensitive ports with one day's notice rather than the usual four,

I think the Clintons have already made sure that the Chinese already have enough influence over shipping in the US.

BTW,

• Thanks to successful "PR efforts" [lobbying?] The U.S. government agreed to exempt COSCO from laws discriminating against state-owned shipping companies.
• Chinese companies which run a substantial number of terminals in the US brag about their direct rail connections from the West Coast to Chicago and the East Coast.

In the article   Only one month ago the British were alarmed when it looked like a Sinagpore-China alliance was going to buy P&O   it says PSA is expected to launch a new £3.5bn formal offer for P&O this week in a move to beat off an earlier recommended proposal from Dubai's state-owned ports operator, DP World.

It doesn't say who recommended DP World's proposal for operating British ports. Curious if you knew who the recommendation came from and was the DP World deal recommeded so China wouldn't monopolize the port operations around Britain.

I hate in any way to seem like I'm coming to Hillary's defense, but the article that your 'facts' are based on is the British liberal rag, The Guardian. It's like quoting the National Enquirer. You would be hard pressed to find ONE fact in any given edition.

Singapore and China had one joint venture in the port at Hong Kong. There was no alliance in this deal, Singapore was bidding solely on it's own and China would have had no part in it if they had won the bid.

This is all just more isolationist fear mongering.

Great, great post!

I am frankly surprised when Hillary stands up and speaks out against this deal. Talk about balls.
