US lawmakers seek to curb Chinese "economic espionage"

1. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers asked the Pentagon on Thursday to name companies owned by the Chinese military operating in the United States, as they seek to curb what they called Beijing’s effort to “steal” technology for military purposes....

2. Don't be mistaken that China and Russia are the only nations targeted by America so far. The US has proved to be the most warlike nation in history, waging wars with many countries in its comparatively short history of 243 years. The forgotten Native Americans were the earliest victims from whom the European settlers stole an entire country. The British Empire was the next target, followed by the French and Spanish Empires.

Like Aesop's fable of "The Wolf and the Lamb", the US always enacts laws to illuminate or justify its evil deeds. For instance, the Indian Removal Act (1830), which has been referred to as a unitary act of systematic genocide, was passed to force Native Americans to leave their ancestral homelands in the eastern United States to lands west of the Mississippi River.

3. Instead of being grateful for the uninterrupted supply of rare earths, the US lawmakers are mulling hostile options against China. If the US dominates the global supply of rare earths critical to Chinese military operations, it should have banned the export of the minerals to China by now. The "Psycho" analogy can be used to show the contradictions between Trump's "gesture of goodwill" and the bipartisan extremists' attempt at curbing the alleged Chinese "economic espionage".

4. The analogy begins as follows:

In contrast to the usual interrogation at the "negotiating table", the victim was served with a plate of fried noodle and a cup of coffee one morning. The Psycho said: "Your breakfast was made by the best chef in my household. At the age of 68, his culinary skills are as good as ever. Unlike those hotheads outside the doorway, the meek old chef of mine has never been rash with his mouth. I hope you will consider my interim deal of taking this delicious breakfast in exchange for your commitment to bail me out of bankruptcy."

Outside the torture chamber, a young psycho chided the meek old chef for making a delicious breakfast for the victim: "How treacherous of you to cook for our enemy! How I wish I could fry his liver and intestines!"

The meek old chef laughed, "Fret not, I have taken care of it by adding a few drops of my saliva into the noodle as additional flavour."

It was a big mistake for the West to take pity on China. Without Western trade, China would still be weak and pathetic, largely incapable of defending itself from the Japanese, and probably even more barbaric, backwards and insular. A problem for nobody but themselves. Instead, we indulged the Chinese national character of thievery, cheating, corruption and graft, and the result is one of the largest and most powerful slave states in human history.

Good thing a couple of bunker busters on the Three Gorges Dam is enough to put the problem underwater.

Very astute observation, reedak. I hadn't considered the idea that changing the historical timeline would change the historical timeline. And who said Chinese mystics have nothing to offer?

Should have nuked Peking back in 49, but clueless Truman didn't realise there was a difference between Japan and China. When McArthur proposed strikes on Peking during the Korean War, Truman's response was "I think they learned their lesson the first two times." When McArthur challenged this position as NOT OK and TOTALLY LIKE RACIST, Truman fired him. If you want to know who is responsible for China today, look no further than Trump.....'s predecessor, former President Harry "Shenxi" Truman, the man who lost China. His portrait hung in Tiananmen Square until Mao's death in the 70's, tells you everything you need to know.
