Ya Gotta Give Em Credit For Not Giving Up.

Guess what? They're at it again. China's  ZTE, a telecom firm, has been accused of selling U.S. surveillance equipment to Iran, which it was specifically banned from doing. Well who would have guessed. It's not so surprising that a Chinese company, with an American subsidiary, would consider selling or giving technology to another enemy. Hey, they're willing to steal what they can't get legally. What's surprising is that we would allow them to have it in the first place. Ya know, if they want the secret technology on how to build lincoln log houses in miniature, have at it. But sensitive technology that helps keep us safe from our enemies and terrorists? Do we really want them to have that? At all? If I were to win the lottery, It's not likely that I would walk down the street and hand that money to a person wearing a mask and ask them to take good care of it for me. That's because, while they might take good care of it, they probably wouldn't take  care of it, for me. Well, China isn't likely to take good care of our secrets, for us. They don't mind taking good care of our jobs and our wealth, so long as we don't expect them back. The thing is, it's not like a job that could some day come back, or a piece of art. If you get it back, it still holds it's value. Secret technology, once given away to your enemies, isn't secret anymore. It doesn't have the same value as it did before the enemy got their hands on it. By now, you'd think our government should have figured that out.
