Understand, I’m still plenty pissed off by counterfeit parts from China. I’m plenty pissed off by counterfeit bolts, bolt steel, tool steel, carbide tooling, rifle scopes, etc.
Counterfeiting, knock-offs and IP theft by the PRC/PLA is costing this country’s private sector HUGE amounts of money - billions of revenue per year.
Our cowardly, supine pussies in office never, ever do anything about it - including the GOP, who thinks that making any move against China amounts to a re-enactment of Smoot-Hawley.
We cannot run our military if we have allowed all the strategic industries which supply the armed forces with parts, complete systems, etc to be put out of business by the GODDAMN COMMUNISTS. The only good communist is a DEAD one, IMO.
Only problem is that china is going to seem like Galt’s Gulch if the marxists here keep it up.
