Joe Lieberman formally registers as lobbyist for Chinese telecom giant ZTE

January 2, 2019

"Former Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) has officially filed as a lobbyist for Chinese telecom company ZTE, registration forms released Wednesday confirmed.

ZTE has long been under fire from U.S. officials and members of Congress who say the company could endanger national security by providing espionage opportunities for the Chinese government.

Though the well-connected Lieberman was thought to be hired to help take pressure off of the embattled ZTE, his firm Kasowitz Benson Torres (KBT) ------- tells a different story."

Because the 99 year lease ran out.

In formal terms the answer lies in the second Convention of Peking, signed on 9 June 1898. The ailing Qing Dynasty leased the New Territories to Britain for 99 years, starting 1 July 1898. The new additions were to make up 90 per cent of Hong Kong's land mass. The term of 99 years was fixed almost casually.

Well, you mean other than the fact that neither Great Britain or the U.S. wanted to fight a land war against China in China over Hong Kong . . . no, can’t think of any reason in the world.

Don’t know why Lieberman is involved with Red China or to what extent. The question is whether Schumer is or not, not what old Joe might be doing. He’s been out of office for many years, if not decades.

There are only a few Jewish senators as opposed to the greater majority being Christians so why pick on the Jewish ones? A whiff of anti-Semitism do I detect?

Go after the Bidens, Chris Dodd, Boehner, etc. They are the real threats to America.
