Thank you, Ron Brown. Oh wait, he was shot in the forehead by a .45 slug.

Thank you, Bill and Hillary.

It is a common (though amateur) espionage tactic to set up fast "buisenesses" near where elected officials are, where they will frequent, to gain their trust. Such as pizza joints, copy places, anything close where government lowlife minions will frequent.

We may need to start and enforce a rigid set of security clearance regulations on the Chinese. There is no reason that these people should be able to put 3,000 espionage fronts up in the US and not have our government know. I'm amazed it took until 9/11 for something truely horrific to happen here. Our borders leak like a sieve.

Meanwhile, United States sends all it's factories and technology to China and guts out middle class. Am I missing the bigger picture?

The FBI is acting like a bunch of whining commies who are trying to spread fear with which prevent me and every other American from purchasing goods at rock bottom prices.

The stock market is up. Why shouldn't we let the Chicoms build better missles if they can do it cheaper? If that means laying off defense workers, so be it. They can learn a new trade. We can hire Chinese soldiers at a fraction of the cost of training and providing our own. We should look into that next. Why should I have to pay more for my defense than I have to? Let a Chinaman die on the cheap - saves me a buck, and saves the life of a burger flipper who would otherwise be wearing a uniform.

I've long felt that the Islam problem would eventually become secondary the the Red Chinese one again. They already operate both ends of the Panama Canal, and have long range nuclear ICBM's. China also sells about 6 billion dollars a month in export junk to the U.S., while they purchase only about one billion dollars a month of American products. They are using five billion dollars a month of our own cash to build up their military machine. But it's curious that the FBI knows about the 3,000 Chinese "fronts" and allows them to remain. Are they watching all of them? Seems rather impossible to me.

Chinese products suck, and so does your plan.

[MonroeDNA]

No, you just are negative, and don't believe in your own tallents.

What's to see here anyway? Seems like they could gain more information about us simply by staying home--more of our stuff is there anyway.Or soon to be there. Maybe, they should set up front in India or Mexico. Not much to learn about state's secrets at the Home Depot or the Starbucks.

Wow! And how many do we have in China?

I suppose nothing might help combat espionage more than maybe listing those 3000 companies? I know personally of about six. Man-O-man do you have to know how to peel an onion. Ever hear of a chemical company that claims to have a manufacturing capability of 7,000,000 tons of reactive batches who has never had an account with a railway firm? I mean 7,000,000 tons of sales needs to go in the factory one way and out the door another?

These firms are big on co-op's and university affiliations. They have tentacles inside all the manufacturing firms of raw product, in-process materials, and finished product. If you plant a confidential document as part of a meeting (which contains false information) you can watch it turn up within ten days in Indonesia, China,. Them Riyadi boys don't let anyone wipe their ass without toilet paper made from cloned American paper machines, processing chemicals, software, hardware, and engineering specs, and American taxpayer money to fund the start-up.

If some agency went to the trouble to count 3000 front companies, it can't be so hard to hit the print key can it?

I think you accurately described the bigger picture.

This undisclosed list shall become the 2004 election cycle shakedown list. Politicians everywhere will be lining up to "meet with" the firms in their districts.
