<< Seasoned security experts are deeply concerned. Al Santoli, a
senior adviser to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, California Republican, and
one of the most informed China experts on Capitol Hill, points to a
recent joint CIA-FBI report to Congress on Communist Chinese
espionage that says, �The Chinese government continues to seek
influence in Congress through various means, including inviting
congressional members to the PRC [People�s Republic of China],
lobbying ethnic Chinese voters and prominent U.S. citizens and engaging
U.S. business interests to weigh in on issues of mutual concern.�>>
There should be a law preventing other governments from buying our
government. The US government is supposed to belong and support the concerns
of American citizens. There is something very wrong here, cooked congress
people should be removed from office for accepting bribes.
<< The intelligence report appears to refer to elder statesmen with
decades-long business ties to China�s Communist leaders and to
corporate giants such as the Boeing Co., Chrysler Corp., General
Motors and Motorola that have made an indelible mark on the
China-policy debate. �When American business lobbied Congress on
China policy in the past, one could believe that corporate America was
not doing China�s bidding but rather was protecting its own interests,�
writes Mann. With the lobby campaign against reaffirming the U.S.
security relationship with Taiwan, he argues, �this distinction is not so
clear anymore.�>>
Corporations are not persons and cannot vote legally, they also should be
prevented from voting illegally with money. They should not be allowed to
lobby at all.
<< Seduced by visions of selling consumer products to 1 billion
Chinese, many business figures, including former national-security
leaders who built personal relations with Communist officials, have
moved from simply pushing policies that would increase trade with China
to becoming, in effect, agents of influence for the Beijing regime. One of
the most prominent is Boeing, the civilian jetliner manufacturer and
Pentagon contractor. With potential 12-figure Chinese aircraft orders at
stake, Boeing�s concern is understandable, as some of its critics admit.
Beijing has exploited that concern to the hilt. If the company
doesn�t
deliver political influence for the Communist government, Boeing chief
international strategist Lawrence Clarkson told the Seattle Times in
1996, �we�re toast.� To ensure its 70 percent share of the Chinese
airliner market, Boeing, in cooperation with other similarly motivated
companies, pushed hard not only for Congress annually to renew �most
favored nation,� or MFN, status for China, but to change the way the
people of the United States view the corrupt one-party regime. >>
What bullshit, the Communist Chinese already make nearly everything we buy.
They do not make enough money to buy US goods, just another thing like Japan,
we buy their products, but they place a tariff on out products that is so
high, a normal person cannot afford to buy them. And why pray tell should we
open our borders and pocketbooks to a communist country, who violate rights
of their own citizens, much as a Fascist regime would do? I say tell the
commie chinese to stick it.
