Update on Communism in China
China's Justice Ministry just issued a requirement that new lawyers must swear an oath of loyalty to the Communist Party. The essential part of the oath is this: I swear to faithfully fulfill the sacred mission of legal workers in Socialism with Chinese characteristics. I swear my loyalty to the motherland, to the people, to uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the Socialist system. This oath is part of a campaign to rein in lawyers who might challenge any of the systems by which the Communist Party maintains power. New York Times, 3-23-12
We've been told for years by the globalists that free trade with Communist China would lure them away from Communism and then toward a private-enterprise economy. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. The Communist Party continues to maintain tight control over the government, both its personnel and its policies.
Update on Chinese Spying in the U.S.
Here is another case of Chinese immigrant espionage. While Kexue Huang, a Chinese scientist, was working for two U.S. chemical companies, he was stealing trade secrets and sending them to China, thereby assisting the Chinese Communist Party's strategic goal in the science field. Huang pled guilty, according to an Oct. 18 FBI press release.
Huang's goal was to use the stolen trade secrets to enable Chinese firms to be in direct competition with Dow. Huang had held positions of responsibility from which he oversaw research projects at both Dow AgroSciences and Cargill Inc., companies involved in biotechnology, chemicals and agriculture.
Stealing industrial secrets is a major part of China's trade relationship with America. This illegal activity is facilitated by the use of immigrants and university students.
Huang's thefts not only cost the companies up to $20 million but, according to Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, these crimes present a danger to the U.S. economy and jeopardize our nation's leadership in innovation.
Update on China Killing U.S. Jobs
California is at risk of losing 70,000 jobs in the U.S. auto supply chain unless China curtails its predatory trading practices, according to the Alliance for American Manufacturing. The Alliance released three reports that accuse China of paying illegal subsidies, rigging its tax laws, and manipulating its currency.
The variety of illegal and predatory practices used by China to build its auto-parts industry include an $8.7 billion subsidy in 2010, mandates that any autos assembled in China must use engines made in China, tax incentives, low-interest loans, and export duties.
Most of these practices are illegal under World Trade Organization rules. The reports conclude that these Chinese practices have killed 400,000 U.S. jobs since 2000 and now put 1.6 million more at risk.
The auto-parts industry has been a backbone of U.S. manufacturing, and now it is migrating to China. Over the past 11 years, the auto-parts trade deficit with China has reached almost $10 billion. Of the more than 600,000 automaker jobs in the U.S., about 75% are with parts companies. Los Angeles Times, 1-31-12
