They are far left anti-Trump.
...merely be to provide China with raw materials, agricultural products, and energy to fuel its production of the world’s cutting-edge industrial and consumer products.

Raw materials, food and energy are *merely*?
China has a lousy rep for quality. It is not *cutting-edge* and everyone knows it. Love to see their current orders.
they may have the tools, but they really don’t understand how to use them. Also their national psyche prevents them from gaining the knowledge to do so.
McMananus is trying to sound hawkish to provide some DNI cover for any potential-not-really Democrat Administration, but of course he doesn't mean it. And he bumped out at Lt. Gen. despite legit combat Silver Star brilliance for 73 Easting, which says something too.
I served under him in 73 Easting.
Arming China- The Bill Clinton Connection
Frontpage Mag ^ | March 19, 2020 | Michael Ledeen / FR Posted by CheshireTheCat
snip .....Remember this all happened about 25 years ago....
then Pres Bill Clinton and his foreign policy team were busily arming Beijing,
which in turn armed “rogue nations” such as Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya.
......on the one hand, it did make sense to sell a very limited amount of advanced military technology to the Communist Chinese, for example devices for nuclear safety, or for certain military systems with important civilian applications, such as satellite launchers.
But the Clinton Administration was not doing that.
Instead, it was executing a deliberate policy—apparently one that had full approval from the top levels of the Clinton Administration, despite the vigorous opposition from government agencies, and from individual officials infuriated at the flow of top technology to China.
This often took the form of Clinton okaying the selling off some of our finest factories to China, at pennies on the dollar, and included our finest supercomputers and the key element to modern jet engines, which had been blocked for export to the Soviet bloc...

NOV 2013 REPORT-— The Hill reported Bill Clinton was panhandling in China for the “Clinton Foundation”
The Hill | November 18, 2013 | Mario Trujillo / Posted by Cincinatus’ Wife
Ex-President Bill Clinton (exploiting the presidency) panhandles for foundation donations from the Chinese.
Hillary...... as the “shoo-in” putative US president...... is the carrot-on-the-stick to get money from the opportunistic CCP.
He had no official position or title, but Clinton was in China to meet with the CCP’s president and to promote the “Clinton Foundation.”
Clinton calculatedly told a Chinese audience that a “female president” would be good for the United States.
Top-notch Texas Republican Cong Louie Gohmert, and multiple anonymous sources, have alleged that Secy of State Clinton’s private server,
that she used for official govt business, was compromised by a “foreign hostile power,” and was surreptitiously receiving Clinton’s incoming and outgoing emails. That would be China, using a company operating in northern Virginia, The Daily Caller reported, citing a former intelligence officer with expertise in cybersecurity issues and a government staff official—both anonymous.

$2 million Chinese Donor to Clinton Foundation, caught up in Chinese cash-for-votes scandal-—surfaces in Virginia
Wang Wenliang, a Chinese billionaire and donor to the Clinton Foundation and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, has been expelled from China’s top legislature after being caught up in a widespread cash-for-votes scheme. On Tuesday, China’s national legislature expelled 45 of its nearly 2,900 members, all from the northeastern province of Liaoning, in a huge vote-buying scandal. The move was part of an investigation into corruption in Liaoning and a much larger national anti-corruption campaign launched by President Xi Jinping.
Wang, who made his fortune in construction and running a strategic port near the North Korean border, also has been a big donor to New York University, Harvard University and the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
Wang’s $2 million donation to the Clinton Foundation in 2013 made waves when it was disclosed last year because of his ties to the Chinese government. More recently, his name surfaced amid news that McAuliffe (D) was the subject of an FBI investigation.
McAuliffe expressed confidence in May that Wang, who gave a combined $120,000 to his 2013 gubernatorial campaign and 2014 inauguration, was a “legitimate donor.” [McAuliffe in ‘shock’ over FBI investigation of campaign money, personal finances]
A spokesman for Wang said his ouster was the result of a political “purge” carried out on behalf of Xi. “They get rid of people who are not part of his team,” spokesman Sig Rogich said.
He said Wang and the others ousted had only “lobbied decision-makers” with meals and token gifts. “He wined and dined them and gave them a gift,” Rogich said. “It’s not like they gave them cash.” On Friday, McAuliffe’s attorney, James W. Cooper, said the governor “knows nothing about Mr. Wang and his legal situation in China.”
Spokesmen for the Clinton campaign and the Clinton Foundation did not respond to requests for comment.
Wang’s construction conglomerate, Rilin Enterprises, controls the Port of Dandong and processes significant volumes of soybeans shipped out of Virginia. He was courted in 2011 by Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R), who encouraged Wang’s firm to buy 100,000 metric tons of soybeans from Maryland-based Perdue Agribusiness and ship them from Chesapeake, Va., to China.
Wang’s company also helped build the new Chinese Embassy in Washington, assembling and overseeing a team of artisans who would be loyal to both the Chinese government and the principles of feng shui. “There’s a lot of security involved,” Rogich said. “They’re also artistically knowledgeable about what the Chinese want. There’s a lot of feng shui that goes into this, evidently — depictions of the four seasons. Certain colors are not allowed.”
Wang’s $2 million pledge to the Clinton Foundation drew attention last year, first from CBS News and then other outlets, because of his connections to the Chinese government — both as a member of the National People’s Congress and as a contractor entrusted to help build China’s embassies around the world.
Wang’s political donations to McAuliffe reflect sizable overlap in Clinton and McAuliffe donors. Critics say the pattern suggests contributions to McAuliffe, a close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s, are intended to curry favor with a former president and an aspiring one. McAuliffe supporters say the overlap is the natural outgrowth of personal and political bonds the governor has forged over a long career as a Clinton fundraiser.

Hillary Clinton’s Emails Were Sent to Gmail Address With a Chinese Company’s Name The Epoch Times ^ | 08-15-19 | IVAN PENTCHOUKOV
FR Posted on 8/15/2019, 1:09:29 PM by Monrose72
All but four of the 30,490 emails from Hillary Clinton’s unauthorized email server were forwarded to a private Google email address featuring the name of a Chinese company, according to documents released on Aug. 15.
Virtually every email which was sent to and received on the Clinton server was forwarded to “carterheavyindustries@gmail.com,” the documents (pdf) show. Frank Rucker, the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) investigator who spotted the anomaly, searched Google for “Carter Heavy Industries” and came up with results for Shandong Carter Heavy Industry Co., Ltd, a Chinese manufacturer of excavators and heavy machinery, according to the documents. (Excerpt) Read more at theepochtimes.com ...
He took charge of Hillary’s emails, but Paul Cambetta of Platte River Networks says he created the carterheavyindustries email address as a dummy used to transfer from Hillary’s second server to the one they were setting up.
He claims no knowledge of the Chinese company with a similar name and offers no explanation of why he used it. The Obama FBI and DoJ IG found that to be enough, since there wasn’t a spread of evidence left after Hillary destroyed the equipment.
Question for computer experts:
<><>why would you create an email address and burrow it into a server to transfer existing data into a new server?
<><>Wouldn’t there be straightforward ways to do that, such as copying a backup file onto a USB device?
<><>Why would you leave it on auto forward forever on the “new” server, if the point was to copy out the old server, and presumably shut it down?
The explanation sounds like a complete pack of lies, though the Chinese angle is headline hype.
Either we wake up now or we'll see a new and different tomorrow.
They didn't. Or to put it another way, they did so only by defining themselves as the Earth. That's an admission of weakness, not an assertion of strength. Suck it, Xi.
Marking.
Summed it up pretty nicely, IMHO.
Perhaps, being left wing and therefore inherently dumb about politics, they simply assumed that since Trump fired McMaster, running an article by him would be a good thing!
I was surprised at how even-handed this article was, and no mention of Trump's policies at all.
