Defense Secretary Rumsfeld was in Bejing yesterday. He wants to " strengthen military ties" . China and America have no common enemy. In fact Taiwan looms. So what does " strengthen military ties " mean ? Is America offering selected military hardware? The military-industrial part of the U S economy adds up to app. 30%. When you have lemons you sell lemonade. Clinton and the Republican Congress sold N. Korea it's Westinghouse nuclear reactor in the 1990's. Was it Nixon or Ford that sold a nuclear reactor to the Shah of Iran in the 1970's? Administrations and congress come and go but the war business remains. Why not produce eco-sustainable products?
Rummy also visted China's strategic missle fleet. He signed a " blank page" in a guest book! Doesn't he remember Jane Fonda? Probably some of those missles were aimed at the U S with a guidance system supplied by the U S Loral Corp.. That illegal transfer of technology was done through a cabinet authority shift during the Clinton administration. The breach of security drew only a $ 12 million fine being levied by Dubya's administration. Anyone looking out for us ?
