Even Our Apple Juice Is Coming From CHINA! WTF?

Stop blaming the Chinese for our inept leadership. If we don't buy Chinese Apple Juice and Cheap Chinese goods... They might decide to call in their loans and crash this economy for good!! Leave the Chinese alone. They are not responsible for our collective problems.

YES, I agree with you 100%. But the Chinese goods are all made so the corporate head of the companies that once employed Americans can get rich. The idea is not to bankrupt China, but cut off the profits from the evil companies that use them. The added benefit is we have less poisoned food and crappy products. The idea is not so much to boycott China, but to buy from the American companies listed on the "Buy American" sites on the thumbnail to the right. Boycott the bad and support the good. To hell with the loans. I would go as far as to say they owe us for all the people who have been poisoned by Melamine and other dangerous products. But yes you are right the fault is ours and ours alone..... Our leadership is BEYOND inept - it is CRIMINAL, but to continue to buy the Chinese crap like nothing is wrong is not the answer. Let's start with the MASSIVE Boycott.

Here is a GREAT opinion about why to Boycott ALL Chinese goods:

PREVENT WORLD WAR III
BOYCOTT RED CHINA
Wakeup America and face the facts: We fought and defeated the Nazis and the Japanese in the epic war of all time. Then we fought the Soviets in the Cold War. And we prevailed in those battles for over 40 years of difficult times at home and around the world. But we won.

Now the big enemy of the United States is Red China. The sooner we admit it and prepare for it the better. All the fancy talk about how much we "want to work together" by engaging communist China in trade is suicidal. The Red Chinese aim to destroy us.



We Must STOP Financing Our Own Destruction

It is Time to Use Our Economic Voting Power to Short Circuit the Political Power of Washington's Pro-Trade with China Politicians

It is Simple, Don't Buy Anything Made in Red China!
Aside from the Red China's military threat against the United States, take into account Red China's brutal Human rights abuses, religious persecution, forced abortions, selling of body organs of prisoners, and the assault on Taiwan and Tibet etc. etc.

China is planning war against the United States.
Read what its leaders are saying. "Seen from the changes in the world situation and the United States' hegemonic strategy for creating monopolarity, war is inevitable...We cannot avoid it. The issue is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative in this war....We must be prepared to fight for one year, two years, three years or even longer." Chi Haotian, Chinese Defense Minister, Cheng Ming, Hong Kong's newspaper, January 11, 2000
And what they have been taught; Mao Tse-tung founded the People's Republic of China in 1949. He was one of the founders of the Chinese Communist regarded, along with Karl Marx and V. I. Lenin, as one of the three great theorists of Marxian communism.

Quotations from Mao Tse-tung, founder of Red China;
" Every Communist must grasp the truth, ‘Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.'"

". . . When politics develops to a certain stage beyond which it cannot proceed by the usual means, war breaks out to sweep the obstacles from the way.... When the obstacle is removed and our political aim attained the war will stop. But if the obstacle is not completely swept away, the war will have to continue till the aim is fully accomplished.... It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed. ". . . The seizure of power by armed force, the settlement of the issue by war, is the central task and the highest form of revolution. This Marxist-Leninist principle of revolution holds good universally, for China and for all other countries."

"I have said that all the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? I also said that the tsar of Russia, the emperor of China and Japanese imperialism were all paper tigers. As we know, they were all overthrown. U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atom bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger."

China's War Plan
The People's Republic of China is actively planning a military invasion of Taiwan and is preparing to wage war against the United States " including firing its small arsenal of strategic nuclear missiles on the territory of the United States " if Washington attempts to defend the island. In an internal document from the Chinese Communist Party's Central Military Commission to all its regional commanders, Beijing says it hopes to absorb Taiwan through nonviolent means but warns of an "increased possibility for a military solution, arguing: "It is better to fight now than [in the] future " the earlier, the better.

In the document, "China Prepares for War", Beijing envisions a blitzkrieg-like attack on Taiwan, launching a "first fatal strike so that" the Taiwan forces have no way to organize effective resistance. Under this plan, "we will be able to control Taiwan before the U.S. intervention and then concentrate our forces to fight the U.S.
Beijing anticipates that the United States will not be able to maintain its forces in combat against China for an extended period. The document reasons that the conflict will not escalate into a nuclear missile exchange, because the U.S. will lose its will to fight and withdraw after suffering serious casualties, while the Chinese side will be able to absorb heavy casualties and prevail.

"Our principle is willing to sustain major losses of our armed forces to defend even just one square inch of land" the document says. "If the U.S. forces lose thousands or hundreds of men under our powerful strikes, the anti-war sentiment within their country will force the U.S. government to take the same path as they did in Vietnam.

[b]The one element that China needs to start and finish a war is money.[/b]
Even the threat of a trade halt with China will take away from its war resources. Hit them hard where they cannot respond and where it hurts the most, in their wallet. Don't buy if it is made in Red China..

CHINA GAINS ENTRY TO U.S. FINANCIAL MARKETS
According to John Berlau (Investor's Business Daily, 1/4/00, p. 1), "Of all the global business mergers and alliances, none is likely to have more impact -- or create more controversy -- than the new alliance between the Nasdaq stock market and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. "The Nasdaq and Hong Kong's exchange plan to have dual listings on each other's markets. Seven American companies, including Microsoft Corp., Cisco Systems Inc. and Dell Computer Corp., are expected to list in Hong Kong in February. ..."

How the Hard-Driving G.O.P. Gave Clinton a Trade Victory
(Tom DeLay, Colin Powell, Gov. George Bush)
By ERIC SCHMITT
The New York Times
B>May 26, 2000
". . . When Representative Tom DeLay came to work on Wednesday, he was still a vote or two shy of the bare-minimum 150 Republicans he needed to help push the China trade bill over the top. Mr. DeLay, the Republican whip, had lined up lots of help.

Gov. George W. Bush of Texas was recruited to cajole several wavering Republicans. So was Gen. Colin L. Powell. Dozens of pro-grade lobbyists and corporate chieftains fanned out on Capitol Hill to buttonhole the last dozen or so undeclared members for what both camps predicted would be a nail-biter.

"Over the next crucial hours, those calls and an array of other influences paid off, as virtually every undeclared Republican, and even a few others who had been written off, broke Mr. DeLay's way. In all, 164 Republicans joined 73 Democrats [who] voted to grant China permanent normal trading status, wiping out economic restrictions rooted in cold-war policy for a quarter century. ..."

Big Bucks-Big Names For Trade With Red China
From The Washington Times
By George Archibald
1997-Mar-3,
". . . Old hands hold hands with Beijing on trade policy Big bucks and big names are proving to be corporate America's weapons of choice in a heightened lobbying push to head off any U.S. retaliation for China's reported involvement in the unfolding political fund-raising scandal.

Henry A. Kissinger, secretary of state in the Nixon and Ford administrations and longtime adviser to major American businesses in China, is a key adviser to corporate leaders of a lobbying campaign announced last week by more than 1,000 top companies seeking expanded U.S.-China trade relations.

Alexander M. Haig Jr., former secretary of state under President Reagan, also is advising both American companies and the Chinese government's maritime shipping company in the campaign.

The Cox Report
On May 25, 1999, the House Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns With the People's Republic of China issued the declassified version of its report (the Cox Report) on China's acquisition of U.S. technology in a number of sensitive areas, including nuclear weapons, high-performance computers, and missile and space systems. The committee's full report, which was classified Top Secret when it was issued on January 3, 1999 (and which remains classified) was unanimously approved by the panel's five Republicans and four Democrats.

The elaborately presented three-volume declassified COX REPORT, which comprises nearly 900 pages, contains extensive background information, a detailed review of China's acquisition efforts, the principal cases of alleged technology transfer, the committee's assessment of the impact of these transfers, and 38 recommendations for the president and the Congress on how to deal with the situation.

From the Mindszenty Report

August 1997
The China lobby is among the most sophisticated in Washington. Those who help advance China's interest include former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, George Schultz, Alexander Haig, Lawrence Eagleburger and Cyrus Vance -- each of whom has earned tens of thousands of dollars from U.S. businesses doing business in China.

For the record, The Knight-Ridder newspaper chain's Washington bureau -- with information provided by the Federal Elections Commission -- provides the following which it calls: "The China Lobby in the U.S.":

"Firms belonging to the U.S.-China Business Council contributed more than $55 million to political campaigns in 1995 and 1996, making them an important lobby for favorable U.S. policies toward China."

Top five overall contributors were: Phillip Morris, AT&T, Federal Express, BellSouth and Atlantic Richfield. And breaking it down to specific business categories: Communications -- GTE, AT&T, Ameritech, BellSouth, SBC Comm., Inc.; Aerospace -- Lockheed Martin, Textron, Inc., Northrop Grum., United Tech., Boeing Co.; Food/beverage -- Jos. E. Seagram, Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo, Inc., McDonald's, Anheuser-Busch; Energy -- Atlantic Richfield, Chevron, Tenneco, Inc., Exxon Corp., Amoco Corp.; Pharmaceuticals -- Eli Lilly & Co., Pfizer, Inc., Bristol-Myers Sq., Abbott Labs., Amgen, Inc.; Banking/financial services -- Arthur Andersen, Morgan Stanley, Price Waterhouse, Coopers Lybrand, American Express; Consumer Goods -- Windmere Corp., Limited, Inc., Amway Corp., Procter & Gamble, General Electric.

In addition to the big money, U.S.-China Business Council, a whole web of interconnected and funded coalitions also played a role in lobbying Congress on behalf of Beijing. Such as: the Emergency Committee for American Trade, the U.S.-China Education Fund and the Business Coalition for U.S.-China Trade.

One of their standard arguments, of course, is "free trade is good for both U.S. and China" which sounds logical. In fact, however, Communist China does not allow foreign-owned industry to sell goods to the Chinese people. Beijing imports raw materials only to manufacture goods for re-export -- to the United States and other free world countries.

As The New York Times noted (June 25, 1997): "lobbying effort operated on the retail level too. One retailer warned that 'Tickle Me Elmo' dolls would soar in price if higher tariffs were imposed on Chinese goods." This caused at least one Administration advisor to cringe: "it makes it sound like we should decide China policy at Toys 'R' Us."

Nonetheless, as U.S.-China trade expert Harry Wu, a former prisoner in the Chinese gulag, notes: retail clothing with Arnold Palmer, Playboy and Garfield labels are typical of some of the merchandise coming to the U.S. from China produced in a prison in Guangdong Province. Other slave labor products, he adds, are sold by such companies as Officemate and Chrysler, which has its own joint-venture project the Beijing Jeep Corp./Beijing Auto Works. Kmart Co., with headquarters in Troy, MI, says Wu, sells a variety of toys and other merchandise made in slave labor prisons operated by China's army.

"In America," writes A.M. Rosenthal -- former editor of The New York Times -- "the China trade lobby was Beijing's instrument of pressure, persuading [President] Clinton to kill human rights as part of U.S. policy. From that, all else flowed. China and other dictatorships have shown throughout modem history that they can expand economically without expanding liberty -- as long as the democracies are so submissively ready to transfer their capital and technology to them."

The "chatter that investors will want China to be more 'liberal' about human freedoms" is so much bunk, says Times' Rosenthal, based on "the muddy-minded assumption that investors in China care about anything except profits." To which Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio adds a potential bumper-sticker zinger if there ever was one: "Freedom should mean more than selling fertilizer!"
