The big news last week;China agreed to purchase 200 airplanes from Boeing for $19 billion. That begs the question:how much of the necessary aircraft components are going to manufactured in China?
For the time being the United States leads the world in the aircraft industry and China is forming a partnership General Electric to provide engines for Chinese designed airliners. While the cooperation agreement doesn’t involve military designs,whoever set up this deal must be ignorant of China’s disregard for patents and intellectual property rights. General Electric will provide China with avionics, electronics,and engine technology that will have military applications.
Whether GE admits it or not,they will be providing a future rival with the tools to use against America.
The next time you see the Blue Angels perform just remember that the airframes are made by Boeing and their engine are manufactured by General Electric.
The People’s Liberation Army
What was the People’s Liberation Army up to while the presidents were meeting last week? For one they have deployed a stealth missile speed boat to patrol the East China Sea. The website that first revealed China’s stealth aircraft has announced that China has been restoring an old aircraft carrier they bought from Russia in 1998. The project will be used as a learning tool for the construction of future carriers. The Varyag has a Ski Jump design that is significantly smaller than a U.S. carrier but the right size for China’s sea lanes.
On the eve of President Hu’s trip to the United States,the Communist’s Party People’s Daily newspaper headline announced “If China becomes the world’s No. 1 nation….” China believes that it has replaced the United States as the superpower,and the liberal elites seem more than happy to bow and let them have that title.
GE has been exporting technology for years to include that to our enemies and potential enemies. How can they take advantage of cheap overseas labor if they do not take the technology with them there? Of course this fits right in with the Obama agenda.
Immelt ,GE,BO &CO,China . . . following the dots –Danger,Danger,Mr. Robinson!
Anyone who thinks Obama is asleep at the wheel is still living in la la land. What I want to know is,have enough '60's kids grown up yet to get U.S. back on track or do our kids have to do it? They're not going to let American Exceptionalism die,but it sure would be nice if the current crop of "grown-ups"wasn't such an embarrassment.
