My only regret in writing this piece is to my fellow citizens, namely Chinese-Americans. It could also effect other Asians like Koreans and Japanese-Americans. Sadly, this is due to not knowing enough about our brothers. It is the same syndrome of not knowing your neighbor. Too many Americans are guilty of this avoidance trait. It is one reason why we have racial problems. I would hate to see conflict with our Asian-Americans due to our tension with China. We must always remember that America is an experiment. We are at the forefront in developing Democracy as well as being an immigrant nation. We do not have the luxury of being homogeneous. Until man becomes a better human, we will always have problems with both of our experiments.
Tricky Dicky...
opened the door to China back in 1972. He was the first president to visit the People's Republic of China since it declared itself a new nation in 1949. One of the first international acts by the new government was to steal the atom bomb from the US. So much for US military intelligence and security. Nevertheless, this is China's nature - steal or whatever to advance. Then, they backed their fellow communists in North Korea versus S. Korea and the US led NATO forces in the Korean War. Their Migs fought our pilots over the skies in peninsula combat. I would say that this new nation/government was not very nice. However, time cures many things. Politics came front and center as Nixon needed something for his reelection. Trade with China was his solution. Producers along with their lobbyists were looking to the future. Outsourcing was in its early stages. The anti-union Republicans saw low-cut wages, no regulations and a super, large labor force. The perfect setting for outsourcing. By the way, the democrats did the same thing under Clinton with NAFTA.
We see the sins of greed and the wrongs within capitalism with the coronavirus. We have no supplies as everything is produced in China. Outsourcing has left our nation defenseless as we don't produce anything. We import everything. We need to protect our companies and workers. Globalism is lowering our standard of living. The critics call this "populism." Do they not see homelessness everywhere? The only segment growing in America is poverty. Tariffs is the answer. Unions are needed for workers and we need both for the nation to grow healthy again. Isn't it ironic that tariffs and unions are a way of life everywhere in the world except in the US? However, back to China...
We all know the story from that point in time. China transformed itself from a back wood, agrarian nation into the world's leading export nation and the world's leading manufacturing nation along with a few other titles. No one says the truth. This rapid grow is due to outsourcing by the West, and mainly by the US to keep wages low and maximin profits. This is the negative side of capitalism.
China has the second largest population and also, it is the second largest in land mass. When a nation is this big, there are many contradictions. It is like the analogy of a US policeman. There are two types. There are officers and there are pigs. The Red Communist party in China is the pigs. Many of its people have customs so strange to the West that in relationship to us, they are pigs too. These are the ones who counterfeit merchandise. They copy everything. For example, in China they copied Walmart with Wu Mart. They use iconic brands as labels, but the product is fraud. It is a cheap copy. Then, on the other side, you have quality people who have produced many firsts throughout history in the development of man. The list is too long, but their artistry is masterful like any Michelangelo or Picasso. Sadly, the pigs are in control. We need to distance ourselves from them before things come to blows and the world could end. Both military's have enough psychopaths that will make wearing a virus mask today seem like the good old days. The two will destroy each other and become radio-active nation's that will send whatever is left of the world back to a return of the Dark Ages. What is left of humans will be walking around in a world that is full of poisoned air and one where you will need a preventive, radioactive, nuclear suit.
First sign...
When the virus first appeared, good Chinses doctors sought to alert the global community and at the same time, seek help. The Chinese government put pressure on them to shut their mouths! They also passed a law along with tracking technology that made anything in the government's view, disturbing was subject to their law: social impact danger. One brave Chinese soul posted, "Power to the people." Chen disappeared.
During the early stages of the virus, a Chinese foreign minister, Zhao Lijian alleged that the US military planted the virus in Wuhan. In spite of this conspiracy theory, everyone knew that a good Chinese doctor from Wuhan was the first to treat his patients with a connection to pneumonia. This is another heroic person who got infected and as a result, he died. However, we see the underbelly of the communist party in action. There were other, more serious signs...
Continual Theft...
Not only does China demand that any company doing business in China must exposed its complete product make-up. It must provide the blueprint to its product. Then, they also must be classified as a Chinese company. This is one phony reason why China produces such a high yearly growth rate. Then, China uses these companies to access into their nation of origin. Their purpose: steal product development, ideas and formulas. When this happened more than one time, the door to China should have been closed, but greed trumps many sins. The Chinese are lucky that JFL was not in charge because he would have put his foot up their ass as he kicked them out the door after they received one more misuse/chance. Recently, a director in the FBI stated, "That over half of all espionage and commercial property theft is in one way or another, related to China.
Recent Signs...
The Chinese ambassador to the UK showed what I have been saying for years about the Red Party. He said, "If you prevent China advancement (referring to Huawei), you risk China becoming hostile."
He says it all. China has advanced as far as they can as a make believe, peaceful, trading nation. Now, they will use fear and pressure to obtain their wants. It should be noted that China has completed their final satellite to establish their own global mapping network. This has military implications. President Trump was the first to shout the dangers of their telecom giant, Huawei. They are in many nations and they have been accused of intellectual theft more than once. Consider if the worst happened: war with China? Huawei could close all communications in your country as they control the door to the internet and phone service. Any nation under that situation would be defenseless. How about this other tidbit? Another Chinese giant social media firm, TikTok. Always keep in mind that Chinese companies are state sponsored, which means that they are owned by the government as opposed to free capitalist companies. The sharing, social app company, was dis-assembled with reverse-engineering by Bangoriol. They discovered that TikTok gathers info to which the Chinese government has access too. Your privacy is a file in a government computer.
It gets worse. When you go to a race track, you look for signs like the appearance of the horse. Better yet, if the horse could speak as in the expression, "From the horses mouth." Now, I give you the words direct from the horses mouth.
Cui Tiankai...
is the Chinese ambassador to the US. When asked of recent criticism of China like in the expansion of islands in the South China Sea, he said, "...people have to fully recognize the realities of today's world." Then, he tried to cover the statement. He added, "America must learn to live with a modernized, strong, prosperous China." In a rebuttal to his comments, it was mentioned that the world court in the Hague ruled in favor of the Philippines about the land/island dispute. Cui said, "China will not participate in such a ruling." There you have it. By the way, the new laws by China would get me arrested for criticizing China. Hope I never set foot in Hong Kong or China or else I'll be singing Humble Pie, "...30 days in the hole..."
Bottom line: China has committed continual theft of intellectual property and product, manipulation of currency, rules and regulations to gain an advantage in trading, lies and suppression like the recent actions with Hong Kong, a history of supporting communist nations against capitalist nations and land grabbing like their current actions in the South China Seas to which all point to one conclusion. We must end all trade with China. They go their way and we go ours. Call things off before they get any worse. Maybe, sometime in the future, we could try again with a better understanding of each other's culture - for now, close the door!
