Hey Duck. That is kinda racists. The Rothschild group through J.P. Morgan Chase helped build this country. Every time this country has to go to war.
The large Bankers have to be asked ten years ahead of time to pull money out of the system.
To get things rolling. We were busy building Navy seaplanes and army bombers in the late twenties.
To get ready for the big push. When the money gets pulled. The results are predictable. We benefited greatly by operation paperclip and other immigration of laborers and professionals from all countries. It is the American spirit that allows these people to grow and develop more inventions than all other countries combined. Everyone in America migrated here from someplace else. Even Native Americans.
As far as helping China. I would not give them a blueprint for a clothespin. They will find someway to destroy our clothespin market. Or use it as a weapon against us. They fought us at least 4 times in the last 100 years.
While Clinton was President. A certain Chinese Communist was allowed access to a missile guidance system. This presumably was used to build a aircraft carrier killer from a
big old scud missile. The USN had to pull back to the other side of the Taiwan Straights. Now the Chinese have Russians helping them with Torpedoes that go in and out of the water like a dolphin with wings. These can be equipped with nukes. All they have to do is put a multiple head on it. Their goes the Navy. Every time we give the PLA some technical stuff. The Taiwanese buy billions more. Like Patriots and Submarines. It is a game we play. Sometimes we lose control of a few players. But we basically are hooked on war. We love it. $$$
Hey Duck. I love immigrants. I am not a conspiracy guy. I know that GE has 17 plus divisions. One of them owns BAE. Through a trust fund. And Carlyle who owns Allison. They are owned by the Saudis. We socialize our war effort. Hey bro! You wanna make some money? We pay other countries to help our agenda. Like Turkey with a Humvee plant. Or Egypt with a Abrams plant. Or buying trucks from the Ukraine.
It goes on and on. African RGs”. Aussie Bushmasters. Israel, satellites and tank ammo.
Basically, its manufacturing countries vs. the oil countries. No conspiracy. We want oil. And economic control of the world. We provoke countries, then we spank em. Then we take. Simple. Like Iraq. Now we are checking the Chinese in Afghanistan. They want to run a pipeline through there. We don’t want them to.
Sorry China, no pipeline. We are going for the
Black Sea oil first. The Russian Navy lease is up soon in Odessa. Should get interesting.

Militor: You forgot to mention illegal immigrants and the International Zionist Conspiracy.

Like any Government agency. They are used to manipulate agendas and monopolies. Depending on who has sway or influence over them at the time.
Like the previous statement. They can delay or speed up a transaction. They can allow some companies to sell directly or have to give the Government part of the profit. In some cases, like AM General. Leaving or forgetting to bring back a HUMVEE from China. Not a problem. The Chinese build em now. But with a USA designed Cummins engine. Better than our USA designed v8 throw away die-sels. Or Arvin Meritor going over there and helping them with their truck axles. Or Cummins with the KAMAZ Russian Army trucks. WE give them every thing they need to kill us and our allies. Ask General Electric how many companies they own in China? Or how they USE one of their British companies to circumvent the US Dept. of State to sell to who ever they want to. If you put GE/BAE, Wall mart, and ARCO together. That is the US Government. That is who runs this country. OH! I forgot J.P. Morgan Chase. That is who finances it. When we are not borrowing from Rothschild, China or Russia or Saudi Arabia.
The US Government is out of control. Pimped to the limit.

Tony,

The law and policy are clear about arms exports — the State Department creates and oversees the Munitions List. Anything on the list is regulated by the ITAR. And the policy presumption is that State will say NO to a license application, so everyone has to prove that it will be “safe” and/or in US interests to export the equipment. DoD and the IC play roles providing policy and technical expertise but it is State where the final decision is made. Of course, Congress gets notified before the sale is finally approved and it can delay a sale.

Tony: Although these days the GAO is as important as the State Department.

This is a DOD issue, not State Department. The State Department should have been disbanded years ago, but then where would the administrations reward their favorite flunkies?
The State Departmnet is really being given more influence on weapons systems then they deserve.

Sure would be nice if the ITAR was discussed regarding the unlawful export of firearms to Mexico. I wonder why Congress, DDTC, CBP, & ICE never talk about it especially considering the seriousness of the issue and that we have a number of people that live on/near the border and their safety being compromised.
I also notice that the news media gives very little attention to those that violate the ITAR and are sentenced to prison for it. This has been a serious problem for years if not decades.

My mistake (no joke) the Chinese A320 assembly plant is in Tianjin! Sorry.

“Proprietary Information” is Mandarin Chinese for “Bad Joke”.

Perhaps someone should have “joked” with EADS before they opened that A320 assembly plant in Harbin.

Note that I think this is a good thing, because the Chinese (and the Koreans, for that matter) have a depressing tendency to steal whatever you give them and make their own copies. “Proprietary Information” is Mandarin Chinese for “Bad Joke”.

Wow. I was about to post a comment to the effect that ITAR was a way for us to sell arms and keep our strategic advantage at the same time but DensityDuck put it perfectly.

That said, what he said.

ITAR was an answer to the question of “how do we give China ‘Most Favored Nation’ status while keeping them from getting any military-production contracts?”
