China Doesn't Cheat. They Just Don't Play By The Rules.

We keep hearing and saying that we need to wean ourselves off of middle-eastern oil and that's certainly true. But just as necessary is our need to be very wary of China and it's business character. China lacks our description of moral character. Take the latest revelation that it's weapons manufacturers tried to sell Godaffy about $200 million in weapons after China voted with the United Nations to place an embargo on such sales and a month after it said that any such sales to any country had to have government permission. Now they say they had no idea such negotiations were on going. Do you believe that?  Do you think that state owned businesses in China do anything without the government knowing? Some say the military does things the government doesn't know about, like that. Do you believe that? Look at it's history with America. It's sent us contaminated products many, many times until we caught them and then, it was, Oh we didn't know that was happening. Do you believe that? They've lent us hundreds of billions of dollars. I'll bet they know that. If we're ever late on a payment on those loans, I'll bet they'll know that. How can they suggest they don't know about these things when they know more of America's secrets than any President knows. If a Senator gets the hiccups in the middle of the night, they know before his wife. They know which Congressman gets up during the night to go to the bathroom. Of course that's an easy one. I suspect they all do. What I don't know is what time it was. They do. The point is, China is less than trustworthy. And that's being quite diplomatic. It's nice to get some of their business and their things are really cheap. But then most of their things seem to be really cheap for a reason. The reason is either it's contaminated or it's a ploy to get something of ours. Mostly our money. Any way they can. Now every country has it's own self interests in mind, but most countries at least try to be above board about it. Not China. They're happiest when they're underhanded. Actually, all they want from us is our technology, our industry and our money. That's not being greedy, that's being dangerous.
