People frequently believe things that are untrue or
represent their own personal interests, no matter the facts.
For example, I love and believe in Syracuse football despite
the scores of games over the last few years.
In the same vein General Electric, which is building a jet
aircraft for China, says the proprietary technology will not go to the military
but only be used on a passenger plane. This shows either an alarming naïveté or
General Electric's ability to lie when it's in its best interest. http://richwhitneyturner.blogspot.com/2011/01/american-companies-sharing-defense.html
The government and the military take anything they want in
proprietary technology. By forcing American companies to take a Chinese partner
in order to sell products in the Middle Kingdom, it's assured that technology
will end up in the hands of the Chinese government.
Now we have the results of a House investigation, which
shows how Huawei and ZTE could use their telecommunications equipment sold in
America to steal secrets. I was laughing when I read a Huawei spokesman call
these fears "baseless."
Hey, wake up and smell the Long Jing tea.
I am not a Sinophobe. My wife was born in Nanjing and half
of my very closest friends are Chinese citizens. I really like the Chinese
people. I think China's the future. But I also think a friend of China has to
tell the truth about what happens there.
