Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will deliver the keynote address at September’s 2005 China Internet Summit, organized by China’s leading e-commerce company, Alibaba.com.

Clinton’s address in Hangzhou, China follows closely on the heels of a final report issued by the United Nations Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) suggesting that the UN assume global governance of the Internet.

Wonder how much Bubba's getting paid to appear?

[prairiebreeze]

Quick, somebody lock up the missile technology secrets!

[rod1]

Eh-- supposidly Bubba did not even now how to use email when in the White House. Obviously, he is really a great expert for ths topic. Probably just a routine opportunity for the Red Chinese to bribe the RAT politicians once again.

"...China’s leading e-commerce company, Alibaba.com."

Alibab, indeed. BJClinton certainly let the genie out of the bottle on transferring technology...one of his great legacies.

Don't suppose there's any chance they'd keep

What is it with retired Democrat ex-presidents? Why don't they just STFU and stay home?!?!?!?!

" Probably just a routine opportunity for the Red Chinese to bribe the RAT politicians once again."

I'm betting in the next few years our RINO's will see the "wisdom" of letting the UN control the net. The takeover will be backed up by enabling legislation that will be backed by both parties.

He should have bring along the inventor of the Internet, Mr Al Gore? ,-)

Beware of anything that calls itself a "Working Group."

HIROSHIMA'S NUCLEAR LESSON: bill clinton is no Harry Truman

EXPENSIVE CHINA: the clinton legacy

I believe that this espionage case -- the Chinese -- is the worst in the history of this country. They got just about everything that we have and you'll see it in the out years in their development of their weapons.

HEAR Sen. Richard Shelby

Johnny Chung audio included above

What has Mr. Chung told us? He has told us that General Ji Sheng De, the head of the military intelligence of the People's Liberation Army, which is the equivalent of our CIA, gave him $300,000. General Ji would be the equivalent, as I said, of our CIA. It was wired to him through Lieutenant Colonel Liu Chao Ying of China Aerospace, whose father was the head of the People's Liberation Army at one time and a member of the hierarchy in the Chinese Government.

Mr. Chung has told us that the general told him the following: ''We really like your President. We hope he will be reelected. I will give you 300,000 U.S. dollars, and you can give it to your President and the Democrat party.'' Shortly after this Mr. Chung gave $35,000 to the DNC.

Mr. Chung has told us that he was told other people were also giving money to ''do good things for China.'' One of the other people who was mentioned was Mark Middleton, a former high-level White House aide. He was told that Mark Middleton got a half a million dollars from a source that remains unclear. Mr. Middleton has taken the fifth with this committee. He has refused to talk to us.

Johnny Chung has also told us that he was told that a Boeing representative from Hong Kong, a Mr. Young, was also working with the Chinese Government. We still haven't resolved who this is.

Johnny Chung has informed us that he was told by another source that Charlie Trie asked the Chinese Government for $1 million to help the President. He'll testify that he saw the head of the United States consulate in Beijing take cash in exchange for visas. This is just outrageous.

Did Mark Middleton get half a million dollars from the Chinese Government? If he did, what was it for? Did Charlie Trie try to get $1 million from the Chinese Government, and did he get it? We know that he got over $1 million from a Macau developer with close ties to China.
