Capitalist China

I would like to share with you the following article which I received from a friend’s e-mail; my comments are at the end of the article:

Subject: Fwd: China

Little Known Reality.
June 8, 2013. Source: Michael Snyder, Guest Post
In future China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States. Chinese acquisition of U.S. businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.

The Smithfield Foods acquisition is an example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 U.S. states and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America.

Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise their economic muscle.

It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between “the Chinese government” and “Chinese corporations”. In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest in.

Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment – one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.

But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power. “Economic beachheads” are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China.

And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? Detroit. Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. If you recently purchased an “American-made” vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States.

China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States. For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee. Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee. At the time, that acquisition really didn’t make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.

And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

Are you starting to get the picture? China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following:
# When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as the United States does. After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.
# China is the number one gold producer in the world.
# The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going to include glass imported from China.
# China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.
# In published scientific research articles China is expected to become number one in the world very shortly.

And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg. For now, I will just leave you with one piece of advice - learn to speak Chinese. You are going to need it


My comments are:

1. China is de facto a capitalist country. The sole purpose of the authorities still maintaining the nominal socialist or communist system is to hold their privilege of implementing its dictatorship.
2. Most of the rich Chinese capitalists belong to, or are related to, the “8 families” of CCP’s founding fathers, and many of them are U.S. citizens. They plan to enjoy their luxurious life in the U.S., and leave behind the 1.3 billion poor people in China with a polluted environment.

My old friend D. expresses his serious concern over this subject.
I think his assertion can be a good supplement to my previous comments.

Quote:

There are Chinese from China, and there are overseas Chinese like us. We may share our DNA, but we have completely different mindsets. Our unquestioned loyalty is with the country in which we have citizenship.

Snyder's writing is an extension of earlier fear of "the yellow peril" during the 1950's. But I think we should worry about something else that the China Chinese do.

I think it is troubling, and our law makers need to give it serious attention. Many China Chinese women are giving birth of their new babies in America, just for the American citizenship. By the way, this practice is not limited to the China Chinese. People from other countries do this too. Therefore, any action should apply to all people, not just to the China Chinese.

Why do they do this? I think what they do say a lot about what they think of having a citizenship in their own country. Let us remember this: A disloyal citizen is much more dangerous than foreigners.

These newly born citizens will soon returned to their own country and receive early education and indoctrination in their own country. Some of these citizens may not even speak English later in their lives. Their loyalty will never be with the United States, and that makes them dangerous!

Lastly, no one has asked: Why they are buying foreign properties and businesses? Among the Chinese I have spoken with, everyone said because everything is so cheap in America. Perhaps the Chinese currency is getting too high. Their investment overseas is also an indication of their view of their currency versus our dollars. High RMB did stop some outsourcing, but we paid a steep price for giving them our valuable businesses and properties at bargain basement prices.

慎重推薦一部中國內戰史影集

很高興能介紹由卓越文化工作室單挑出版的一部關於國共內戰的歷史影集，供致力於研究中國近代史或國共內戰史的朋友們參考，這部影集涵蓋的年代自1945年抗戰勝利前後至1949年國府遷台爲止共5集，每集片長40多至50多分鐘，對我們從那個時代環境中過來的人特別有吸引力，看了之後也格外感慨，對我們的下代也很有教育價值。

本影集的主持人樊光耀先生表現得非常出色，無論言談和表情方面的水準都很高，他的說話中沒有習慣性的口頭語，目光和手勢都相當生動自然，對二二八事件和陳儀事件都有公平不偏的闡述。在最後一集結束離場時他的姿態很瀟灑。

我在觀賞本影集時剛拜讀了太原五百完人之一的山西省代理省主席梁敦厚之子梁安仁兄的巨著《過客與歸人》(台北釆薇出版社)，所以我特別注意影集中關於此事的記載，結果在第五集46:50時開始出現1948年10月起的「太原會戰」，共軍出動14萬人攻城，18萬人阻援，達一年之久。影集中還有閻錫山向美國時代雜誌記者出示500小瓶劇毒藥物氰化鉀說「萬一城破，我將和我公署內500員工服毒殉國」，結果閻錫山未等城破，便於1949年3月先行離去，影集中也出現梁代主席和閻錫山的五妹閻慧卿在太原機場向即將離去的閻錫山道別的鏡頭。

國共內戰的另一特色是國軍未發揮海空軍力量，當時國軍有海空軍，而土八路祇有陸軍，甚至還強押百姓加入人海戰術。國軍的海軍一向很差，但至少可在東北戰爭的沿海發揮些砲轟的作用，但連這一點作用都沒有，在影集中沒有提到共軍攻克海南島的事，如果提到，就會讓國民黨海軍更顏面無光了。共軍根本沒有海上作戰設備和經驗，他們在攻打海南島渡海時急就章的情況下，把民用帆船加裝卡車引擎，配備了機槍和手榴彈，居然把國民黨海軍戰艦打得落荒而逃。國民黨的空軍在1946年中國東北剿共時曾建立過很大的戰功，後來因受到馬歇爾的干預，祇做一部份的空投和小部份物資運送以及大人物的交通工具，不再見有轟炸機和戰鬥機用於剿共任務上了。

本影集的字幕用了正體字是很好的選擇，凡涉及歷史人名地名時，由於簡體字一字可代表多字，會帶來困擾，例如見到人名「王云五」，你就不知他名字中的「云」是「人云亦云」的「云」，還是「雲裡霧裡」的「雲」。

中共之所以能從「土八路」到竊據江山，橫行霸道，三反五反、人民公社、土法煉鋼、大耀進而致大飢荒，文化大革命縱容紅衛兵作亂，使上億人民餓死、枉死，這一切的一切都由於下列三大因素：

• 日本軍國主義的侵略，已見於1960年6月21日毛澤東同「日本文學代表團」的談話紀錄，毛澤東說「…日本幫了我們中國的大忙，假如日本不占領大半個中國，中國人民不會覺醒起來。在這一點上，我們要感謝日本皇軍。」

• 美國不察覺蘇俄早在第二次大戰日本快投降時已經磨刀霍霍開始冷戰了，那時美國還不知道冷戰爲何物，讓蘇俄坐享戰果，以中國東北爲犧牲品，並讓共產勢力在中國及北韓建立獨裁政權。美國過去對侵略者一向都是後知後覺，非要先吃了大虧才會奮起抵抗。

• 毛澤東狡猾多變無信的個性和作風：在本影集第一集中可以見到曾擔任陳誠秘書的蔣廉儒所述毛澤東說過搞鬥爭要兩句話：「狠要狠到無情；忍要忍到無恥」。在本影集最後一集中也提到毛澤東自詡他有獅子和猴子般的兩種個性。
