China Wants To Construct A 50 Square Mile Self-Sustaining City South Of Boise, Idaho
THE AMERICAN DREAM ^ | June 08, 2011 | swampsniper

Posted on 06/08/2011 8:41:14 AM PDT by SWAMPSNIPER

Thanks to the trillions of dollars that the Chinese have made flooding our shores with cheap products, China is now in a position of tremendous economic power. So what is China going to do with all of that money? One thing that they have decided to do is to buy up pieces of the United States and set up "special economic zones" inside our country from which they can continue to extend their economic domination. One of these "special economic zones" would be just south of Boise, Idaho and the Idaho government is eager to give it to them. China National Machinery Industry Corporation (Sinomach for short) plans to construct a "technology zone" south of Boise Airport which would ultimately be up to 50 square miles in size. The Chinese Communist Party is the majority owner of Sinomach, so the 10,000 to 30,000 acre "self-sustaining city" that is being planned would essentially belong to the Chinese government. The planned "self-sustaining city" in Idaho would include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail centers and large numbers of homes for Chinese workers. Basically it would be a slice of communist China dropped right into the middle of the United States.

Some will sell the soul of our nation to the highest bidder. If the highest bidder is China, we are truly at twilight’s last gleaming. Those in any type of investment or partnership with the Chinese Communists best know this truth.

You're being a bit dramatic. The US does dealings with countries that also have questionable governments. Ever hear of Saudi Arabia? And before the war, Iraq? What about Venezuela? We're the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Well, you're a Christian. Did you know, many Christians in China, while seeking total freedom of religion, also seek to continue to have the country expand economically?

For the record, those embracing China take part in their criminality and cruelty.

I don't buy that. I buy gasoline that may well be from oil from parts of the world where there are terrible human rights abuses. But I don't feel I'm supporting those actions by buying gas made from their oil.

Human rights in the People's Republic of China... ABUSES include those regarding: Civil liberties: Freedom of speech Freedom of the press Freedom of movement Treatment of rural workers Religious freedom Christianity Tibetan Buddhism Political freedom Then there is their One-child policy.

China has her problems, no doubt. But overall, things are getting better there. That is why their economy continues to expand. Greater and greater freedom of movement in China.

But anyone still interested in investing for their own selfish gain over the interest of conscience and country and the principles it was founded on can have at it. As long as they are aware they are bedding with the devil and will reap what is sown by those actions.

Likely, what is going to happen, is that jobs will be created by Chinese investments. As America grapples with $14 trillion in debt, and climbing, Chinese investment will be welcomed, I gurantee it.

We are (barely) still a free enough nation for individuals to choose as they will where they want to invest their money. But accepting the ChiComs as legitimate business partners is a dangerous game.

You have it all wrong. If I quit my job today, and spent full time studying all the investment options available to you, it would take me years to learn all the bonds, stocks, real estate, commodities market, options, etc. Lets not forget loans for businesses, etc. and business opportunities. And that's just the domestic front. It would take me years more to learn about the overseas opportunities available to Americans. So, once again, you're a bit dramatic.

"...Well, you're a Christian. Did you know, many Christians in China, while seeking total freedom of religion, also seek to continue to have the country expand economically?..."

I could guarantee they would rather gain the freedom to worship as they choose without the threat of imprisonment, torture or death because they choose to follow Christ over the desire for lucre under the treacherous Communist regime of which they are in bondage.

There is nothing 'dramatic' about loving and caring for my fellow bretheren in China by choosing my investments wisely and with conscience by avoiding all things Communist Chinese. It is one issue to be forced to buy a product (oil, etc.) because there is no other choice (thank you NAFTA etc.) and one is dependent to a certain extent on that product. (Example: Most people are dependent on oil to put in their car to get themselves to work and support their family. And though they can avoid supporting Venezuela by not buying their gasoline at CITGO or Valero, it is nearly impossible to find a station that guarantees their petrol is from say, Texas or the Gulf of Mexico).

When given the freedom to put my investment money where my conscience leads I will run from supporting or partnering financially with tyranny. Starting with the ChiComs.

“Laogai Museum in D.C. focuses on human rights abuses in China”

“...“I saw many people passing away,” said Wu, now a U.S. citizen who lives in Virginia. “Nobody cried. The brain doesn’t work. China set up the system not only to force people to make the products, to make profit for the government, but also to change people’s minds. Brain change. There is no choice of religion, no choice of political view.”

He maintains that 3 million to 5 million people are still imprisoned for political reasons today — a figure rejected by Chinese officials who question Wu’s motives.

“I’m not aware of those numbers,” said Wang Baodong, spokesman of the Embassy of China in Washington. “This museum is politically motivated. It’s against China and the Chinese government. He hates the Chinese government.”

Wu was a geology student in Beijing who never had been involved in political activities when he was arrested in 1960 as a “counterrevolutionary rightist,” he said. He was forced to sign papers without reading them and taken to a labor camp, a chemical factory in Beijing.

“I had no choice; I signed it,” Wu recalled. “Until today, I do not know what was in that paper. They told me: ‘You’re sentenced to life.’ ”

Every day, twice a day, he was asked three questions that are now written on the black and red walls of the museum: “Who are you? What is this place? Why are you here?” The required answers: “I am a criminal. This is the Laogai. I am here to reform through labor.”

Wu said he worked 12 hours a day on farms and in coal mines and steel mills. Food was scarce, and he sometimes ate roots, snakes and frogs. He tried to commit suicide twice, refusing to eat while in solitary confinement. His weight plummeted to 80 pounds.

Throughout his imprisonment, he was allowed to write a one-page letter home every month. But he couldn’t say much to his parents and seven siblings.Police usually read the mail and censored any attempt to describe his life....”

Will these pretty ghettos (”self-sustaining” no need to leave city, no personal cars allowed) be but ‘holding cells’ until we can be transported to these beehive empty cities in China - build far away in remote areas? (That would certainly curtail rebellion possibilities.)

scroll down for the humongous ant hill apartment bldgs...dehumanizing and controlling. Your ‘jobs’ will be assigned - and you will be bussed out to the fields to work?

Think not? Then give another explanation.

You're assuming that Chinese Christians would be satisfied with poverty as long as they have they have the freedom to worship? Is that something you would be satisfied with? Poverty is okay as long as freedom of religion is guranteed. Why not work towards both?

And though they can avoid supporting Venezuela by not buying their gasoline at CITGO or Valero, it is nearly impossible to find a station that guarantees their petrol is from say, Texas or the Gulf of Mexico

Ah, yes, well you realize government and consumers work hand in hand. The US government, if they really wanted to and consumers were willing to back this up, refuse to buy oil from Saudi Arabia and Venzeula. It could even be done with a gradual draw down instead of a sudden cut off of this oil. It would result in, of course, a gradual rise of gasoline prices. But it doesn't have to slow the economy down if its done slowly as other forms of alternative energy comes on line due to higher and higher gas prices. Higher oil prices would even facilitate more drilling on US soil.

However, most Americans and government officials are willing to compromise by buying from the Saudi's and Venezuela because.......it keeps a lid on the price of oil. So much for standing up to tyranny. Oh, and by the way, to help pay for this oil, did you know the US sells so many 4th generation fighters to Saudi Arabia, that the Saudi's have more 4th generation fighters in the military than Britain does? I read that somewhere but didn't verify it. But I feel confident enough that it is either true or very close to it. And Saudi Arabia is a very brutal oligarch.

When given the freedom to put my investment money where my conscience leads I will run from supporting or partnering financially with tyranny. Starting with the ChiComs.

Invest your money wherever you want. But don't forget, you call people treasonous when they do business with China. Yet, people who point fingers about China tend to be silent about buying oil from nations that are dictatorships or oligarchs. And don't bring it up as a treasonous act. Many who don't see this double standard think its because America can't do without their oil. But the reality, the US CAN do without their oil. Its just that energy prices are much cheaper with the Saudi's and Venezeulians in the picture.

Yes, like Dianne Feinstein.

All globalists are treasonous in a way, because they do not believe in nations or borders, and they certainly don't believe in, or want to protect the individual rights of the citizens of the United States. That in my view, if they hold United States citizenship, is treason.

Simple solution. Drill here drill now! I'd gladly pay more for a gallon of gasoline if I knew it was made in America. And I think telling the Saudis to take a flying leap until they improve their human rights issues would be a great economic motivator for them.

A clean conscience is a happy conscience.:)

Having a global outlook in trade and foreign policy does not equate to one having a view of a nationless world or a world without borders.

This thread was started by calling the govenor of Idaho treasonous. Yet that does not mean he believes in a borderless society. Rather, he is just being pragmatic about economics. Foreign ownership of domestic property has existed throughout history and throughout American history.

Trade and foreign ownership of domestic properties have existed throughout history and in countries with definite border settings.

US corporations own $4 trillion in overseas assets. Do you suggest those countries close off their borders and seize US properties?

Well, I glad to hear you consistent. But in general, many Americans who take a hawkish view of China are not so consistent. In a way, I sort of understand it, but it doesn't justify it. And that is, China has the potential to challenge the US and countries like Saudi Arabia does not, despite their resources and China's lack of.

Even if I could convince those with anti-China sentiment that Chinese human rights is better than many of the countries the US deals with, that ultimately is not the issue. One only has to look at a youtube video where one of the Prince in Dubai tortured a Afghan businessman for hours simply because he cheated the Prince out of $5000. A Prince that is worth billions.

Yet, ultimately, that doesn't matter as these countries have resources that America needs. Its acceptable to buy from these countries, because no matter how opulent they are with their riches, they could never challenge the US for the top spot in the world. Not even close.

Resource poor China, on the other hand, potentially could. So, therein lies my frustration with so many who are hawkish about China and using the argument as some rogue communist dictatorship. The reality is, wherever China places in the global rankings of how they treats its citizens, there are obviously other countries that are far worse that the US deals with but doesn't get the same attention as China.

So, in the end, what is really happening, when people fret of dealing with China, is the resentment towards participating in building up another super power. And not so much fretting about other issues such as human rights, etc.

Yes it does, because the globalist institutions that have 'enabled' the 'global outlook' have set as a goal to eliminate nations-- borders and citizens are a 'barrier to trade' in their own words.

Yet that does not mean he believes in a borderless society.

When you allow a foreign country to establish sovereign territory - a mini china with Chinese citizens, Chinese culture, working for the Chinese government within your nation, it's not only a globalist view point -our border is no longer functioning, but a violation of the United States Constitution which says it is not permitted to create a 'state within a state', which is exactly what the Chinese communists want to do. And when the governor of a state in the United States is so ignorant of his Constitution, or not ignorant but so willing to violate it, well that says a lot about the loyalty of the Idaho governor to the United States, doesn't it. He's sounding more and more like Chicom owned Senator Dianne Feinstein and he probably can't get the notion of how much personal profit he'll make dealing with the Chinese like Feinstein does, out of his mind.

Foreign ownership of domestic property has existed throughout history and throughout American history.

The big lie. Foreign governments haven't established sovereign states in this country-- until now-- The globalists enable this by lying about it,then organize to dumb down the American people so that their elected officials violate the laws of the nations with impunity, and always in favor of the foreign interests, where their personal fortunes can be made.

US corporations own $4 trillion in overseas assets.

Let me help you focus on the topic: The CHINESE GOVERNMENT 'owning' a sovereign state within the state of Idaho is treason.

What China sets up will not be a soveriegn nation within a nation. Its an economic zone. The only sovereign properties on US soil are the foreign embassies. The Chinese economic zones are still under American jurisdiction. Someone cannot seek assylum in these economic zones. But they can at a foreign embassy.

They may have Chinese communities set up within these zones, but they simply cannot operate outside of the legal jurisdiction of the US. And this is no different than foreigners owning property and businesses on US soil. They may own the companies, but they still have to follow US laws. That's why Westinghouse, which is now owned by the Japanese, had to get approval by Congress to sell the Chinese their latest reactor design.

The reality is, any company in the world who owns property in another country that is not their own, is at the mercy of the host country. Pure and simple. America has frozen assets of foreign entities, whether that foreign entity is a private or government entity. And likewise, American assets have been flat out taken away by host countries overseas (typically, when there is a revolution by a new government hostile to the US). We don't live in a one world government. So foreign assets only exists, when the countries are not at war. Once hostilities starts, all titles are torn up. Or at least nulled until things settle down.

I knew you would eventually admit you're a globalist free traitor on this thread.

Slavery is another feature of 'economic' zones worldwide. Since the free traitors have brought slavery back to the United States, I suppose they won't be operating out of the American jurisdiction.

These economic zones are utterly corrupt worldwide, and the reason for creating one in the United States is to further the corruption of our government and further the destruction of our American way of life.

The reality is, any company in the world who owns property in another country that is not their own

Like the free traitor you are, you keep glossing over that it will be the Chinese communist government operating the slave labor economic zone in Idaho.

We don't live in a one world government

If you have your way, we'll live in a one world global communist run partnership with trashnational corporations and the concept of nations will be finished. We are very close to being there, free traitor, thanks to all your hard work lying, obfuscating the facts, and communist promoting. Why do you hate this country so?

There are many free trade zones already here in the US. The article itself stated there were already 257 of them. Yet, I doubt most people even know they exist. And I never hear anything about slavery. And if you noticed, there has been a heightened awareness of slavery in the US. They're typically brought in by wealthy immigrants as personal house slaves. Once discovered, the perpetrators are quickly arrested.

I have yet to hear people bring in slaves into these economic zones. How would you hide such a large workforce? Hiding a house servant in your home, yes, but large scale labor?

Free trade zones do operate outside of some regulatory requirement (I don't know which), but I am willing to bet, labor it not one of them. China cannot simply bring in $2/hr laborers here into the US.

Like the free traitor you are, you keep glossing over that it will be the Chinese communist government operating the slave labor economic zone in Idaho.

China is communist in name. It is increasingly becoming free market. However, politically, it is an oligarch. And America does alot of business with all sorts of oligarchs. Singapore, Saudi Arabia, The Emirates, etc. I'm absolutely convinced, China will become a democracy someday. Yet, ironically, even then, America will continue to have more issues with China than Saudi Arabia or the Emirates. Simply because China's economic reach is becoming larger.

Why do you hate this country so?

I don't hate this country at all. On the contrary, I appreciate being an American. I just don't equate free trade with treason the way you do. And I understand my US economic history. I know, that the standard of living in Amierca is much higher today than it was in the 1950's. And the 1950's, more Americans as a percentage of the workforce worked in manufacturing. Yet, today, we have biggers homes, more cars per capita, consume more energy per capita, etc. Many own vacation homes too. Trade hasn't hurt the US, it has actually helped.

China closed herself off to the world in 1949 and looked what happened to her. It wasn't until she expanded trade that she began to improve her situation.
