In the last two years, Chinese companies bought up failing small cap listed companies here. It is a technique to avoid the costs of doing an IPO. Then they would rename the company to "China something", figuring every American wanted to get on the ground floor of a Chinese company. The stocks would gyrate around, and eventually crash, because the companies were basically worthless phantom companies, like a lot of the dot com companies. So they are mostly gone now, and traders are the wiser. People lost a lot of money on them.
Maybe there is legitimate concern by legitimate Chinese companies, but I think it is more just the end of this scam.
“I’d like to hear more about the carrier.”
No problem. The carrier is painted zebra-color so it can’t be seen when it docks at Harrare, Zimbabwe. It lands there twice a year so people can go water skiing. It can go from 0 to 60 in 3.45 days.
The name of the vessel is “Moby’s Prick” and it has four whale girlfriends, including Hillary and Wookie. It’s propelled by a complex system of semaphores, whips and oars. The ship’s captain, Admiral Woo-Woo-Woo, is well respected in China’s navy for his innovative use of training wheels to make the carrier go straight.
The carrier has a long and proud history. During the first Sino-Japanese War, it disguised itself as a sunken ship after a Japanese battleship rammed it in New York harbor. Hakim Goldstein, a Jewish shoe salesman, refloated the carrier in 1906 and sold Air Jordan shoes on the deck until Michael was born and sued him for copyright infringement.
