America's Future Update on China

Update on Illegal Entry by Chinese

The Border Patrol on the U.S. Mexican border is increasingly posting signs written in Chinese. This is because of the booming human smug­gling trade as illegal aliens from China flood into the U.S.

Human smuggling has ex­ploded into a billion-dollar busi­ness, with people of various nationalities paying smugglers, called coyotes, thousands of dol­lars to be escorted illegally into the U.S.

The Chinese are paying $50,000, and people from India are paying $10,000 to $20,000. The average price for Central Americans is about $7,000 and for Mexicans about $3,000.

According to Dr. Michael Vickers of the Texas Border vol­unteers, this is huge money for the cartels, even more lucrative than the illegal drug business.

The illegals are always try­ing to claim some "credible fear" - those are the magic words that can get them into the U.S.  (Infowars, August 2, 2014)

China Tests Anti-Satellite Mobile Missile

Communist China is moving ahead rapidly toward its goal of be­coming a world superpower. China has tested a new anti-satellite weapon based on a road-mobile ballistic missile.

A detailed analysis of the im­agery published in March provides evidence that a Chinese rocket launch in May 2013, which was billed as a research mission, was actually a test of a new weapon system.

Brian Weeden, a former U.S. Air Force space analyst, published a 47-page analysis on the website of The Space Review, which he said showed that China is testing a kinetic interceptor launched by a new rocket that could reach geo­stationary orbit about 22,500 miles above the earth.

Weeden renewed his call for the U.S. to re­lease more informa­tion about Chinese weapons develop­ment, ar­guing that more public dialogue is needed.  (Engineering & Technology Magazine, March 18, 2014)

Update on China's Poisons in Food

After tainted milk killed at least six babies and sickened thousands in 2008, China overhauled its food safety laws and promised to crack down on negligent companies. But the scandals keep coming.

Since April 2013, more than 155 people have died from avian influenza, or bird flu, a disease linked to poor sanitary conditions in poultry markets.

Last year, officials found high levels of cadmium, which is linked to organ fail­ure and cancer, in rice at markets and restaurants.

Earlier this year, Walmart stores in China had to recall pack­ages of donkey meat that contained meat from other animals.

Despite improved safety regu­lations banning the use of unau­thorized additives in food, China continues to have problems with inadequate enforcement and par­ticularly from China's water and soil pollution problems.
