TOPIC: CHINA I SMOVING TO AMERICA SOON - STARTING WITH UTAH
NO - THEY AREN'T GOING TO BE MORMON - THEY ARE GOING TO BUILD THEIR OWN
CITIES FOR ONLY CHINESE CITIZENS
5-22-12 - DREAM - i don't know what city I was workikng in, but
apparently all the people I was workikng with were Asian.
I thought I was managing an apartment building, but I saw no furniture in the
massive storage space in the basement - only slabs of something that seemed
pliable and not too heavy.
I helped carry two slabs of whatever this was in storage that were about 4
feet by two inches by 8 inches wide. I took a p;eek inside th cloth
covering and it looked plastic, but could have been something like taffy.
I had nol sense of temperature in that space - I don't think it was cold.
The cloth coverings were a different color than what it covered though it was
similar - like a package that was covered in a honey colored cloth had
something of a similar color, either darker or lighter inside. There
were also darker tans, and some greens and some blues as well.
The women whom I was helping were all newly pregnant, and the men could have
been married to them though I don't know if they were.
In my office, I always knew by 4 pm whether someone was leaving a space, so I
agreed to notify a woman named Barb in the same business as I was, when I knew for certain
that they were leaving my building.
The storage rooms in our building were massive, and I noticed that some of
the pallets had objects, also covered in cloth that were three feet by three
feet, by three feet in size. It seemed to be made of the same stuuff as
the slabs were.

WHAT IS CCP?
THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
The Communist Party of China (CPC), also known as the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is the founding and
ruling
political party of the
People's Republic of China (PRC). Although nominally it exists alongside the
United Front,[1]
a coalition of governing political parties, in practice, the CPC is the
only party in the PRC,[2]
maintaining a
unitary government and centralizing the state, military, and media.[3]
The legal power of the
Communist Party is guaranteed by the
national constitution.[3]
The current party leader is
Hu Jintao,
who holds the title of
General Secretary of the Communist Party of China.
The party was founded in July 1921 in Shanghai.[4][5][6]
After a lengthy
civil war, the CPC defeated its primary rival, the
Kuomintang
(KMT), and assumed full control of
mainland China by 1949.[7]
The Kuomintang retreated to the island of
Taiwan, where
it still remains to this day.
The party has fluctuated between periods of
reformism
and political conservatism throughout its history. Both before and after the
founding of the PRC, the CPC's history is defined by various power struggles and
ideological battles, including destructive socio-political movements such as the
Cultural Revolution. At first a conventional member of the international
Communist movement, the CPC
broke with its
counterpart in the Soviet Union over ideological differences in the 1960s.
The Communist Party's ideology was redefined under
Deng
Xiaoping to incorporate principles of
market economics, and the
corresponding reforms enabled rapid and sustained economic
growth
The CPC is the world's largest political party,[9]
claiming over 80
million members[10]
at the end of 2010 which constitutes about 6.0% of the total population of
mainland China. The vast majority of military and civil officials are members of
the Party.[11]
Since 1978, the Communist Party has attempted to institutionalize transitions of
power and
consolidate its internal structure. The modern party stresses unity and
avoids public conflict while practicing a pragmatic and open
democratic centralism within the party structure.
The party's organizational structure was destroyed during the
Cultural Revolution and rebuilt afterwards by
Deng
Xiaoping, who subsequently initiated "Socialism
with Chinese characteristics" and brought all state apparatuses back under
the rule of the CPC.
Theoretically, the party's highest body is the
National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which meets at least once
every five years. The primary organs of power in the Communist Party which is
detailed in the
party constitution include:
[edit]
Organizations under the Central Committee
Other central organizations directly under the Party Central Committee
include:
In addition, there are numerous commissions and leading groups. Usually those
commissions and leading groups have jurisdiction on both Party and State
apparatus, and include ranking leaders up to the
President of the People's Republic of China and the
Premier of the State Council. The most important of them are:
Every five years, the Communist Party of China holds a National Congress. The
latest happened on October 19, 2007. Formally, the Congress serves two
functions: to approve changes to the Party constitution regarding policy and to
elect a
Central Committee, about 300 strong. The Central Committee in turn elects
the
Politburo. In practice, positions within the Central Committee and Politburo
are determined before a Party Congress, and the main purpose of the Congress is
to announce the party policies and vision for the direction of China in the
following few years.
The party's central focus of power is the Politburo Standing Committee. The
process for selecting Standing Committee members, as well as Politburo members,
occurs behind the scenes in a process parallel to the National Congress. The new
power structure is announced obliquely through the positioning of portraits in
the
People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Party. The number of
Standing Committee members varies and has tended to increase over time. The
Committee was expanded to nine at the 16th Party National Congress in 2009.
There are two other key organs of political power in the People's Republic of
China: the formal government and the
People's Liberation Army. The Party's main bodies to oversee the PLA are the
Central Military Commission and the
General Political Department.
There are, in addition to decision-making roles, advisory committees,
including the
People's Political Consultative Conference. During the 1980s and 1990s there
was a
Central Advisory Commission established by
Deng
Xiaoping which consisted of senior retired leaders, but with their death
this has been abolished since 1992.
Political theorists have identified two groupings within the Communist Party[13]
leading to a structure which has been called "one party, two
factions".[14]
The first is the "elitist coalition" or
Shanghai clique which contains mainly officials who have risen from the
more prosperous provinces. The second is the "populist coalition", the core of
which are the
tuanpai, or the "Youth League faction" which consists mainly of
officials who have risen from the rural interior, through the
Communist Youth League. Minor informal groupings include the reformist
Qinghua clique, and the derogatorily termed
Crown Prince Party of officials benefiting from
nepotism.
The interaction between the two main factions is largely complementary with each
faction possessing a particular expertise and both committed to the continued
rule of the Communist Party and not allowing intra-party factional politics
threaten party unity. It has been noted that party and government positions have
been assigned to create a very careful balance between these two groupings.
Within his "one party, two factions" model, Li Chen has noted that one should
avoid labelling these two groupings with simplistic ideological labels, and that
these two groupings do not act in a zero-sum, winner take all fashion. Neither
group has the ability or will to dominate the other completely.[15]
[edit]
Membership
The party was small at first, but grew intermittently through the 1920s.
Twelve voting delegates were seated at the 1st
National Congress in 1921, as well as at the 2nd (in 1922), when they
represented 195 party members. By 1923, the 420 members were represented by 30
delegates. The 1925 4th Congress had 20 delegates representing 994 members; then
real growth kicked in. The 5th Congress (held in April–May 1927 as the
KMT
was cracking down on communists) comprised 80 voting delegates representing
57,968 members.
It was on October 3, 1928 6th Congress that the now-familiar ‘full’ and
‘alternate’ structure originated, with 84 and 34 delegates, respectively.
Membership was estimated at 40,000. In 1945, the 7th Congress had 547 full and
208 alternate delegates representing 1.21 million members, a ratio of one
representative per 1,600 members as compared to 1:725 in 1927.
After the Party defeated the Nationalists, participation at National Party
Congresses became much less representative. Each of the 1026 full and 107
alternate members represented 9,470 party members (10.73 million in total) at
the 1956 8th Congress. Subsequent congresses held the number of participants
down despite membership growing to more than 60 million by 2000.[16]
The CPC has its origins in the
May Fourth Movement of 1919, where radical political systems like
anarchism and Communism gained traction among Chinese intellectuals.[17]
Stalin opposed the Chinese Communist Party in Xinjiang because he wanted to
expand Soviet influence in the province.[18]
The CPC's ideologies have significantly evolved since its founding and
establishing political power in 1949. Mao's revolution that founded the PRC was
nominally based on
Marxism-Leninism with a rural focus based on China's social situations at
the time. During the 1960s and 1970s, the CPC experienced a significant
ideological breakdown with the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union under
Nikita Khrushchev, and later,
Leonid Brezhnev. Since then Mao's peasant revolutionary vision and so-called
"continued revolution under the dictatorship of the proletariat" stipulated that
class enemies continued to exist even though the socialist revolution seemed to
be complete, giving way to the
Cultural Revolution. This fusion of ideas became known officially as "Mao
Zedong Thought", or Maoism outside of China. It represented a powerful
branch of communism that existed in opposition to the
Soviet
Union's "Marxist
revisionism".
Following the death of
Mao Zedong
in 1976, however, the CPC under the leadership of
Deng
Xiaoping moved towards
Socialism with Chinese characteristics and instituted
Chinese economic reform.[19]
In reversing some of Mao's "extreme-leftist" policies, Deng argued that a
socialist country and the
market economy model were not mutually exclusive. While asserting the
political power of the Party itself, the change in policy generated significant
economic growth.[20]
The ideology itself, however, came into conflict on both sides of the spectrum
with Maoists as well as progressive liberals, culminating with other social
factors to cause the
1989 Tiananmen Square Protests. Deng's vision for economic success and a new
socialist market model became entrenched in the Party constitution in 1997 as
Deng Xiaoping Theory.
The "third generation" of leadership under
Jiang
Zemin,
Zhu Rongji, and associates largely continued Deng's progressive economic
vision while overseeing the re-emergence of
Chinese nationalism in the 1990s. Nationalist sentiment has seemingly also
evolved to become informally the part of the Party's guiding doctrine. As part
of Jiang's nominal legacy, the CPC ratified the
Three Represents into the 2003 revision of the Party Constitution as a
"guiding ideology", encouraging the Party to represent "advanced productive
forces, the progressive course of China's culture, and the fundamental interests
of the people." There are various interpretations of the Three Represents.
Most notably, the theory has legitimized the entry of private business owners
and quasi-"bourgeoisie"
elements into the party.
The insistent road of focusing almost exclusively on economic growth has led
to a
wide range of serious social problems. The CPC's "fourth generation" of
leadership under
Hu Jintao
and Wen
Jiabao, after taking power in 2003, attempted reversing such a trend by
bringing forth an integrated ideology that tackled both social and economic
concerns. This new ideology was known as the creation of a
Harmonious Society using the
Scientific Development Concept.
The degree of power the Party had on the state has gradually decreased as
economic liberalizations progressed. The evolution of CPC ideology has gone
through a number of defining changes that it no longer bears much resemblance to
its founding principles. Some believe that the large amount of economic
liberalization starting from the late 1970s to present, indicates that the CPC
has transitioned to endorse economic
neoliberalism.[21][22][23][24]
The CPC's current policies are fiercely rejected as capitalist by most
communists, especially
anti-revisionists, and by adherents of the
Chinese New Left from within the PRC.
The Communist Party of China comprises a
single-party state form of government; however, there are parties other than
the CPC within China, which report to the
United Front Department of the Communist Party of China and do not act as
opposition or independent parties. Since the 1980s, as its commitment to
Marxist
ideology has appeared to wane, the party has begun to increasingly invoke
Chinese nationalism as a legitimizing principle as opposed to the socialist
construction for which the party was originally created. The change from
socialism to nationalism has pleased the CPC's former enemy, the
Kuomintang
(KMT), which has warmed its relations with the CPC since 2003.[25]
Political
ideology and stances
[edit]
Regional
corruption and reform
The leaders of the Communist Party of China realize that there are serious
problems with political corruption within China and with maintaining the trust
of the Chinese people because of it. However, attempts made in closed-door
sessions at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 17th Communist Party of China's
Central Committee in September 2009 to grapple with these problems produced
inconclusive results, although a directive which requires disclosure of
investments and property holdings by party and governmental officials was
passed.[26]
Trotskyists argue that the party was doomed to its present character, that
of petty-bourgeois nationalism in the 1920s, because of the near-annihilation of
the workers' movement in the KMT betrayal of 1927, which was made possible by
Stalin's order that the Communists join with the KMT in a centrist
coalition, effectively disarming it, which opportunity the KMT swiftly exploited
to defeat the communist revolution.[27]
This slaughter forced the tiny surviving Party to switch from a workers' union-
to a peasant, guerilla-based organization, and to seek the aid of the most
heterodox sources: from "patriotic capitalists" to the dreaded KMT itself, with
which it openly sought to participate in a coalition government, even after the
Japanese general surrender in 1945.[28]
Chinese Trotskyists from
Chen Duxiu
onward have called for a
political revolution against what they see as an opportunist, capitalist
leadership of the CPC.
Kuomintang
party. They viewed the Chinese revolution in different terms than the
Communists, claiming that China already went past its feudal stage and in a
stagnation period rather than in another mode of production. These Marxists in
the Kuomintang opposed the Chinese communist party ideology.[29]
Maoists and other 'anti-revisionists'
viciously attack
the changes after
Mao Zedong's
death, calling them the precise "capitalist road" Mao had pledged to fight
during the early existence of the PRC. They do not hold any allegiance to the
CPC. An example of a well-known group, until recently
armed, that looks to Mao's principles is the
Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) who the current CPC has publicly opposed.
Also, some Maoist groupings attack even some of the shifts and changes that
occurred while Mao was still alive and in leadership, like his 1972 welcoming of
Richard Nixon (see
lesser evil for more on this event). The
Chinese New Left, which encompasses these Maoists and other
postmodernists is a current within China that seeks to "revert China to the
socialist road" – i.e., to return China to the socialist system that existed
before Deng Xiaoping's reforms.
Some of the opponents of the Party within the
Chinese democracy movement have tended not to argue that a strong Chinese
state is inherently bad, but rather that the Communist leadership is corrupt.[clarification
needed] The
Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 represented a controversial point in
criticism of the Chinese Communist Party by Chinese students within China.[30]
Another school of thought argues that the worst of the abuses took place
decades ago, and that the current leaders were not only unconnected with them,
but were actually victims of that era. They have also argued that, while the
modern Communist Party may be flawed, it is comparatively better than previous
regimes, with respect to improving the general standard of living, than any
other government that has governed China in the past century and can be seen in
a more favourable light compared with most governments of the
developing nations. As a result, the CPC has recently taken sweeping
measures to regain support from the countryside, with limited success.
In addition, some scholars contend that China has never operated under a
decentralized democratic regime in its several thousand years of history, and
therefore it can be argued that the present political structure, albeit not up
to Western moral or political standards, is the best possible option when
compared to the alternatives. A sudden transition to democracy, these experts
contend, would result in the economic and political upheaval that occurred in
the
Soviet Union in the late 1980s, and that by focusing on economic growth,
China is setting the stage for a more gradual but sustainable transition to a
more politically liberal system. This group sees mainland China as being similar
to Franco's Spain in the 1960s, and
South
Korea during the 1970s when South Korea was run by corrupt, authoritarian
regimes. This school of thought also brings together some unlikely political
allies. Not only do most intellectuals within the Chinese government follow this
school of thinking, but it is also the common belief held amongst pro-free
trade liberals in the West.
Many observers from both within and outside of China have argued that the CPC
has taken gradual steps towards democracy and transparency, hence arguing that
it is best to give it time and room to evolve into a better government that is
more responsive to its people rather than forcing an abrupt change with all the
deleterious effects such a loss of stability might entail.[31]
However, other observers (like
Minxin Pei)
question whether these steps are genuine efforts towards democratic reform or
disingenuous measures by the CPC to retain power.[32]
Relationship
with competing ideologies
Religion
The CPC is officially
atheist, and prohibits party members from holding religious beliefs (though
this ban is, in many cases, unenforceable).
The Party's
United Front Work Department coordinates with the
State Administration for Religious Affairs to manage the country's five
officially sanctioned religions. Unregistered religious groups face varying
degrees of suppression under the Communist Party.

Historical leaders
Between 1921 and 1943 the Communist Party of China was headed by the
General Secretary:
-
Chen Duxiu, General Secretary 1921–1922 and 1925–1927
- Qu
Qiubai, General Secretary 1927–1928
-
Xiang Zhongfa, General Secretary 1928–1931
- Li
Lisan, acting General Secretary 1929–1930
- Wang
Ming, acting General Secretary 1931
- Bo Gu,
a.k.a. Qin Bangxian, acting General Secretary 1932–1935
-
Zhang Wentian a.k.a. Luo Fu, acting General Secretary 1935–1943
In 1943 the position of
Chairman of the Communist Party of China was created.
In 1982, the post of Chairman was abolished, and the General Secretary, at
this time held by the same man as the post of Chairman, once again became the
supreme office of the Party.
[edit]
Funding
Though the CPC charges a limited due on its members for its expenditure, its
total amount would be insignificant for the continued operation of this
hegemony. The actual ratio of membership dues among the total amount is less
than 1/11. While the budget constitutes of limited amount of donations and
business operations owned by the party, its majority comes from the grant of
national treasury,[33]
the same way that supports the other 8 subordinative registered parties, which
making a bizarre exception among modern political parties. However, unlike the
governmental departments, there is not even a de jure procedure for legal
supervision of such grants as for now. Proposals for reformation has since been
put aside untouched.

China's Qinghai Governor Luo Huining,

the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signing ceremony
in the Gold Room at the Utah State Capitol Wednesday,

Tom Smart, Deseret News
CHINA WANTS TO BUILD 50 SQUARE MILE CIT Y IN THE U.S.
Thanks to the trillions of dollars that the Chinese have made
flooding our shores with cheap products, China is now in a position
of tremendous economic power. So what is China going to do with all
of that money? One thing that they have decided to do is to buy up
pieces of the United States and set up “special economic zones”
inside our country from which they can
continue to extend their economic domination. One of these
“special economic zones” would be just south of Boise, Idaho and the
Idaho government is eager to give it to them. China National
Machinery Industry Corporation (Sinomach for short) plans to
construct a “technology zone” south of Boise Airport which would
ultimately be up to 50 square miles in size. The Chinese Communist
Party is the majority owner of Sinomach, so the 10,000 to 30,000
acre “self-sustaining city” that is being planned would essentially
belong to the Chinese government. The planned “self-sustaining city”
in Idaho would include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail
centers and large numbers of homes for Chinese workers. Basically it
would be a slice of communist China dropped right into the middle of
the United States.
According to the Idaho Statesman, the idea would be to build a
self-contained city with all services included. It would be modeled
after the “special economic zones” that currently exist in China.
Perhaps the most famous of these “special economic zones” is
Shenzhen. Back in the 1970s, Shenzhen was just a very small
fishing village. Today it is a sprawling metropolis of over 14
million people.
If the Chinese have their way, we will soon be seeing these
“special economic zones” pop up all over the United States.
So exactly who is “Sinomach”?
The following description of the company comes directly
from the website of Sinomach:
With approval of the State Council, China National Machinery
Industry Corporation (SINOMACH) was established in January 1997.
SINO-MACH is a large scale, state-owned enterprise group under
the supervision of the State Assets Supervision and
Administration Commission.
As you can see, Sinomach is basically an arm of the Chinese
government.
The borrower is always the servant of the lender, and now China
is buying up America.
The reality is that Sinomach is not looking only at Idaho.
Sinomach is in discussions to develop “special economic zones” all
over the United States.
Sinomach has recently dispatched delegations
to Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania to explore the possibility of
establishing “special economic zones” in those states.
Will such “self-contained communities” soon start appearing from
coast to coast?
According to Dr. Jerome Corsi, the U.S. government has already
set up 257 “foreign trade zones” across America. These “foreign
trade zones” will apparently be given “special U.S. customs
treatment” and will be used to promote global free trade:
“The FTZs tend to be located near airports, with easy
access into the continental NAFTA and WTO multi-modal
transportation systems being created to move free-trade goods
cheaply, quickly and efficiently throughout the continent of
North America.”
So what do our politicians think about all of this?
Most of them are greatly in favor of it.
“Idaho’s the last state that should say we don’t want to do
business with Asia,”
Idaho Lt. Gov. Brad Little said last year. “Asia’s where the
money is.”
So will all of this “foreign investment” really bring
jobs back to the American people?
Perhaps a few, but the truth is that these “special economic
zones” that the Chinese are setting up are designed to be
self-contained communist Chinese communities. Some Americans will
likely be employed in these areas, but not nearly as many as our
politicians would have you to believe.
In addition, these “special economic zones” represent a massive
national security threat. The communist Chinese could potentially be
able to bring in and store massive amounts of military equipment
virtually undetected.
In the days of the Cold War, we would have never dreamed of
giving the Russians a 50 square mile city in the middle of Idaho.
But today we have become convinced that the communist Chinese
want to be our great friends.
The following quote
originally appeared in the Idaho Statesman, but has since
apparently been taken down:
“The Chinese are looking for a beachhead in the United
States,” said Idaho Commerce Secretary Don Dietrich. “Idaho is
ready to give them one.”
Indeed.
If relations between the U.S. and China go south someday, we will
deeply regret giving China so many open doors.
The truth is that you can never fully trust the communist
Chinese. Their top military officers talk about a coming conflict
with the United States all the time. China is extremely interested
in North America. In fact, the Chinese and the Mexicans
have even been holding talks on military cooperation.
But even if you don’t consider the communist Chinese to be a
military threat, you should be deeply concerned about the economic
implications of what is happening.
Today, tens of millions of Americans are wondering
why the economy is so bad.
Well, there are a lot of reasons, but the fact that we have sent
China thousands of our factories, millions of our jobs and trillions
of dollars of our national wealth is a major contributing factor.
If you do not know the truth about how badly the Chinese economy
is wiping the floor with the Americen economy then you need to read
this article: “40
Signs The Chinese Economy Is Beating The Living Daylights Out Of The
U.S. Economy“.
Beautiful new infrastructure is going up all over China today,
and meanwhile many of our once great manufacturing cities are
turning into rotted-out
war zones.
China would not be what they are today if we had insisted that
they abandon the communist system and respect basic human rights
before we ever opened up trade with them.
But that did not happen. Instead we enthusiastically welcomed
China into the WTO and we let the predatory Chinese system run wild.
In 2010, China had a “current account balance”
of over 272 billion dollars, which was the largest in the world.
In 2010, the United States had a “current account balance”
of negative 561 billion dollars. According to the CIA world
factbook, that put us in last place in the entire world. In fact,
our negative current account balance was more than 9 times larger
than anyone else in the world. If you go check out
this chart it will give you a really good idea of how
nightmarish our trade situation has become.
The world is changing and nothing is ever going to be the same
again.
Just ask the residents of Boise, Idaho – they are about to have a
50 square mile self-contained communist Chinese city plopped right
into their backyard.

some comments follow below:
I told people 20 years ago to watch out for China when they stared their military build up.
I have worked in China over 18years , the Chinese believe to build industry to create jobs and democracy via economic stability. I do not believe for a moment they will send there people here for creating a job force in any area of US development . I encourage all to go to china they have made incredible progress to take care of their billions of people. They are now in the final stages of 5 years of 12 five year plans. The countrysides will be developed , apartment buildings are being built , schools are opening no person will live in poverty in China is their plan. Note this country has been around 5000 years so their is quite a few more people in their population , based on that fact have patients and do not judge . The people in China love their country and would never want to leave ….China is peaceful they will never fire the first shot although they will not allow another to be fired . Truth From My experience and knowledge !
You may have experience but lack knowledge. China commits acts of espionage against the U.S. every single day from China. You really believe that won’t increase once you give them 50 miles of territory inside the U.S.? How do you know they won’t sneak in military equipment? Only a lib in the U.S. would be so stupid to agree to this and back this plan.
well some of what you said is true. but if we let our guard down, you can bet your lovely Axx they will invade Taiwan in a second.
They will NEVER reach the goal of zero poverty. 2/3rds still live like peasants not much better than their ancestors.
Barbara, can you really be that naive? Every nation has people who are “peaceful”, it’s the intentions of the leaders who govern those people that are of great concern. Must we continue to judge in error the actions of certain groups, religions or countries in order to appear non-judgmental, kind, or without bigotry? Seriously? And how are the comments you read hateful? You appear to have a great sense of loyalty and compassion toward the Chinese people and wholeheartedly agree with the way they are governed. We are hateful because we don’t agree? I’m tired of the ‘hate’ label that is so quickly handed out because not everybody thinks according to certain standards. The Chinese people may be wonderful, but their leaders…not so much.
I have read all the comments ….I am truly saddened by the hateful remarks I have read. Let me remind all of you it was the American consumer and cooperations that forced our US jobs overseas!Bigger profits! I am a product developer , please note all of you that when making any product their is what is called a specification sheet developed by the company who is going off shore to manufacturer. I don’t understand how the Chinese or anyone else can be blamed for making inferior products when the manufacturer is only following the directions of the customer. As for all this hate…I do not believe any of you would express any negative if you all could see how happy the people are and how much they love their country. Remember the media only gives one snap shoot!The Chinese people have only tried to be like us , so all be careful when pointing the finger. A Chinese official once said to me in China, ” we will never fire the first shot at anyone or any country although if someone fires a shot at us it will be the last shot fired”. Don’t blame the people or the government , their is no homeless , no hungry, no unemployments, people retire at 50 years old, therefore no day cares! No nursing homes.I find it amazing that a country that has over 1.8 billion people does not have the problems we in the USA are facing everyday .. And please note maybe we could get things done in this country if we didn’t have some many cooks in the soup.I would truly like to invite anyone reading this to take a walk with me and the Chinese people, rather then read media and feed into propaganda! All of you take a look at the products in your homes most made in China. Don’t blame the Chinese blame the company’s that closed there doors on their workers and moved off shore for higher profits. This is One World , we are all humans, I can assure you all the people of China have no desire to come to work in America. Before everyone goes crazy over thinking they will send their people can anyone confirm that they will send their people here? I would love to see evidence of this. The only secure jobs in USA that are thriving are military suppliers, isn’t their a better way to create jobs. Officials in China also told me “make jobs not war this will create stable economy! I love my country but I also love this world. Please all of you if their is a heaven do anyone of you want to have to explain your hate at the pearly gates???
Some of what you say is worthy of our consideration, but the American consumer is not to blame for what the criminals who control our economy have done. We now have a “Patriot Act,” the obvious intent of which is to kill off patriots. Big companies have used our “social overhead capital:” – our roads, fire protection, police protection, our once-secure borders and other assets paid for by the people to start their businesses. In exchange for our investment, we should be entitled to jobs, but the “insiders” have decided to move our jobs offshore, leaving no factories at home while We the People are expected to buy their products, paying high prices as if they were manufactured here. I’m glad some Chinese are prospering, but it is time for them to consume their own products and it is high time for us to demand the right to jobs here. It is also high time for each state to pass a constitutional amendment limiting the right to own real estate to people who are qualified to run for President of the United States. That would solve a lot of problems.
Please…Enough of the Chinese propaganda.
You sound Chinese yourself. This crap about how they treat their people so well etc.
Bull…Propaganda…that is all. Nothing you can say or do can convince me these communists love all and give all to thier people,or will do anything GOOD for America. If you are in China now…please stay there. And listen…don’t you worry about the last shot…
But by then the Venutian prophecy of Easy Rider had failed to pan out.
[b]you do NOT want a city full of chinese.[/b] chinese are bad news. nope nope nope. keep them out. think of them as a plague and you won’t be far from the truth.
building a 50 square mile city just for themselves sounds ridiculous, but you still don’t want the ridiculous to happen either. if you’re in Idaho, and it comes around that your politicians are considering such a thing, do everything you can to not allow that from happening.
if you value your American way of life, and I’m sure you do, you won’t want to have anything to do with the chinese. each one would amount to a scab on your community, and the more there are, the more chinese they are, and the more scab-like they are. worse yet, you would have to deal with them in business, interact with them in your community, call one neighbor, where before there was an American there is now an unpleasant, ugly, greedy, unethical, treacherous, lying, dirty, inhuman scab. your community values will go down accordingly, simply due to the fact that such creatures live among you, and then even worse yet, they will end up being involved in the politics of your community, making you cooperate with them, accede to them, you actually find yourself forced to call them ‘friend’ and ‘neighbor’ etc. when you would rather puke.
they do not belong here and they would weasel their way into everything. it’s not about some biological thing called race, it is about culture. they are the total opposite of American values, not like the Mexicans, for example, who aren’t as far from it, if you didn’t like Mexicans for some reason. the chinese are the opposite. they would be destroyers of American culture where you are at, and they don’t care about you either, in fact they would like to take what they can for themselves. KEEP THEM OUT.
I live in nampa id, i live like 20 miles from boise, it’s creepy.
You are absolutely ridiculous, I can’t believe you could possibly be so openly hateful towards any group of people. The people of China are not predatory, they simply live under a government which forces economic prowess on them through their forced labor. Chinese people are bred to work harder and live with less than Americans, if anything they would be a welcome addition to our society.
If you took the time to read any chinese literature you would realize how similar their cultures and values are to ours, but your response makes you look like an ignorant imbecile.
The Chinese people may be good, decent folks. I’m sure at least some of them are. The Chinese government, on the other hand, is the most under-handed form of government on the face of planet Earth. We don’t need it in America!! The Socialist left that Obama and his cohorts are trying, desperately, to inflict upon us is a clost step in that direction. …I’m old enough to remember being taught, in school, about the gory, horrendous things that were done to people in the German Communist POW camps in WW1…about their total dictatorship form of government, etc. Unfortunately, youth are no longer taught these important truths. Our government has been headed in that direction for decades, and Obama just stepped on the “Full Speed Ahead!” button, to get us there. We are helping their cause, unconsciously, perhaps, each time we purchase something tagged, “made in China”.
wow Joe I haven’t heard quite so much ethnic hatred freely expounded for many many years. All Chinese people are filthy and ugly? All unethical and treacherous? Wow sounds almost like what MY forefathers thought when the Europeans came here and overran OUR ancestral land. If you are not Native to this country, your forebears were dirty, greedy, treacherous, filthy and ugly interlopers too. A culture of rape, murder, and diseases stemming from filth and lack of basic hygiene. So please, think before speaking. I have a great more Asian and Russian friends than I do people like you and I’m going to keep it that way, you racist swin
This article is part of the war-propaganda against China. First you demonize the threat, turning it into a threat for all, and then destroy it. China is completely surrounded with American military bases. The conditions for World War III have been set in place
Give me a break!!! China is “surrounded” by the US military bases?! Yes, we’re in the places where WWII (Japan) and the Korean WAr (Korea) happened. And we’re still there…..and have been for decades. Have we “taken” over their country, or their governments? God forbid, they might be a democratic government now that we’ve gotten involved!! I’m sorry, but I can’t believe that the US is taking over the Japanese and Korean governments…..like I said before, God Forbid that they might choose to have a democratic government like we do! But has that been bad for their governments?? Give me a break! I can use myself as an example…..I’m 50 years old this past year……since I could drive (aged 18), I have had a Toyota as my car! I *prefer* a Japanese car! Why?? Because in my experience, the Japanese make a better vehicle! It doesn’t matter *who* is making their cars…..a lot of Toyotas are now made in the US or Canada!! (my Toyota Matrix was made in Ontario, Canada, and is the *absolute* best car that I have **ever** owned…..I’ve owned this car since 2004…the most money I’ve spent on it is new tires!). And I’ve read that their are Toyota plants in Kentucky and other US states (besides Canada). So if Americans are “employed” at a good-paying job, do I care if their employer is a Japanese company, or a Detroit (American) company? I don’t care which *big* company makes the profits (American or Japanese)! My concern is the average American person……whether they’re paid by an American company or a Japanese company, why should I care??! !!!
I still do not understand us American people. Why are we sitting idly and doing nothing? Why aren’t we in Idaho arresting their government? Instead we cheer for Switzerland which is thousands of miles away, to arrest some crooks on their land. What is wrong with us? Why aren’t we all getting together, us supposedly the most armed populace on the whole planet and arrest the foreign assets?
Unbelievable.
It’s called fluoride. And the Goebbelsesqe subversive media and “Education” system. What IS the “American way” after all? It all started as a corporation of the crown. Taking what was not theirs to take. Demonizing and killing any who didn’t agree. Caught dancing in the forest? Burn em at the stake. The natives won’t leave of their own accord? Kill every last bison. That isn’t enough? Give em smallpox infected blankets. Railroad workers or miners unhappy? Send in the Army. Kinda seems apropos that the Chinese take what is not (but now is) theirs doesn’t it?
what the hell i am with you 100%,but folks will not go out and say hell no any more.a walled city in my mind would be a military camp right in the part of the country to do alot of damage if attacked.the china man does not like Americans at all.they have many years ago said they would take America in the future.welcome 70 plus years later the future ?the people of Idaho should be at there capital raiseing the roof but thats what THEY want.i think we are headed for whats written.a worse time than mankind has ever witnessed before.!and it’s coming at a alarming rate.china has already taken control of Africa and they madd about that too.they are doing as they want.there navy follows our navy over in the mideast ? russia would like it very much.so many things that WILL HAPPEN.just in what order/ Idaho are you gonna let a china goverment build a city concealed from your view ? with a no fly zone be assured and that workers would be brought in from china to build this city.a substainable city.military in my minds eye.they will be spotted all over the united states and guys.that just aint right how do wqe stop it if we don’t go tell them they are crossing to many lines and sh^%ing in our face.this is very bad.
Jon, there are 100 million gun owners in the U.S.
If they came here to build their City, they would leave in pine boxes! Count on it!
hell, Vlad, we in Idaho can’t even seem to get a law in place which would put people in jail for intentionally setting their neighbor’s old cat on fire…happened right in my town, and it happened twice before the people were caught. It’s legal to starve a horse or dog to death and you get a slap on the wrist at best. You really think the money-grubbing painted whores in our Idaho state Capital care a bit about what we think? They don’t.
Evil china is always up to no good & is using economics as an excuse to destroy America. China is pure evil & must be divided into 1,000 smaller countries so they can never borther anyone ever again.
This is totally asinine. The Federal Govt. will have gone too far should this be allowed to happen….”Special economic zone”? Sounds like a new city/state within the United States.
Folks this is just a ploy to establish a global “One World Government”. China is just a paun to reap the financial benifits of distruction of our nation’s economy with their fraud moneysytem. Their fraud dollars have not only enslaved our people but it has destroyed our economy worldwide.We know our once gold backed dollar has been rapped by the banksters-and their puppets have bought control of our government. Sit back folks and watch the globalists banksters destroy your nation, your freedoms,and your childrens futures. Buy gold, food, and ammo-find likeminded souls that are willing to protect our freedoms–and are not blind to the truth. “Greed has no cure” Get prepared my fellow Christian Patriots–the Bibles prophecies are about to stand Tall.
Truth will Prevail.
This is just a hidden military base.i don’t know how many china man it would take,but i read another paper on it and it said no American labor would be used.that’s that.they will bring in the builders and the folks who will live there concealed from your view the American people worst enemy !can’t you see how that looks.we want to build but no body in America will build there.sounds like a perfect way to bring in a pretty big army and alot of stuff in 50 square miles.this is plumb dumb to let this happen.we all know somethings going to happen but with the china man it will be very bad.if they have these little private things that Americans can’t even have ! if they do it they call them home grown terroist !! s.o.b and here they are inviting it into the country with smiles and full pockets.!somehow we need to get it done protest it away from here get back across the ocean my grand pa died over there and what for now ?God Bless America,but prepare folks.
Just hand over the US………………..and be done with it. Be better to die fast than slow…………..one piece at a time.
S
The above comment was me being sarcastic. Let’s stand united and stop this insanity. You let them build once city they and they will take over the entier country. Check out what happens in Europe……….Muslims have taken over many many cities……….and now it’s to late :
Yes Barbara, we need to unite. But it seems like it is not what the people of this country want. Look at the so called militias for example, what a joke. Instead of uniting into one potent Second Continental Army, they bicker and bark at each other. Obviously there are bad apples, but that would be sorted out afterwards, right now we have a common goal at least.
Or look at the pathetic Tea Party, they have all these numbers and yet they cannot make their own independent political party, instead they cling to Republicans and their mouthpiec
People, if you are sooooo concerned about that silent Chinese “invasion”, why don’t you just reduce spending trillions of dollars for the army ? Are you so stupid ? Why are you wondering how come that your government goes broken, that your deficit goes crazy, all while you spend all what you (even almost don’t) have (anymore), just for playing the”heroes” of that planet ? That is very childish, in my opinion … National security can be set with less than what you spend, and soon America will look at the fatality that even that stupid Hitler could not see coming to this way : preparing for global domination, fighting all wars all around him – which was the most sure recipe for his disaster ….
I am European and we here not live in “debts”, we are not so poor as to always ask banks to give us money, because we OWN what we have and use, opposite to you, that all are broke and far too way in debt …. We just feel pity for you … American dream (or way of life) seems to be a lazy way, of just printing endlessly money for imports, and just exporting money for the oil… Are you serious ? If you want jobs, then go and produce cheaper products than the small Chinese people whom you blame, or make better products. Stop buying best world products (German ones), stop visiting most beautiful countries (European ones), keep your money so that you’ll be happier. Because this is a free world Or … maybe the freedom already started to bother you ?
In some ways I might agree wth you….I am an Amercan citizen and I agree that our government is bad…….but to compare us to Europe?? Then explain the bankruptcy of Spain, Portugal, *GREECE*??? My mother is a born-Eutopean, so I have a great tendency to be pro-European, but c’mon. You can’t say that the US is worse than the EU, because a lot of the EU economy is in the trash as much as the US econom
I called Gov. Otters office, the aide I talked to all but said TOUGH, IT”S LEGAL< THAT"S CAPITALISM. my comment to the gov's office, thats BULL S.
It’s not so hard to believe. Our government has been silently, subtly setting us up for this for decades now. Obama just stepped in and hit the “Full Speed Ahead” button. If you did your research dilligently, you’d be shocked at the multitude of similar things that are “only a hair’s breath away” from being instituted among us. If we don’t wipe the sleepy out of our eyes, splash our faces with some cold water, educating ourselves and then counteracting these things…NOW, it will be too late! The USA will have a different name…and a very different way of life!!
I don’t mean to sound like a “religious” fresk, but c’mon people, read your Bible….Revelations! It’s all mapped out in advance. I’ve read it, and I’m just sitting back watching it happen! I’m just wondering when the *day* will come!

Sounds like a Trojan Horse to me. Beware.
This is a trojan horse and violates the US Constitution. Why? This is not a real estate deal.. its a migration of foreign labor – and no State can enter into a treaty – commerce or otherwise with a foreign power. Also, no foreign power or business deal is impervious to US Law be it State or Federal.
Good one, RPB!!! But try to tell that to the California governor, Jerry Brown, who was just meeting today in Los Angeles with representatives from the Chinese government to build up our “trade” between the Chinese and California! Yes, RPB, no state can enter into a treaty…..try to tell that to the CA government!
This is a fact. I live in Idaho and it has been in the local newspapers the past 2 or 3 weeks, The Idaho Statesman had an article as well as The Clearwater Progress. According to what I can find, apparently Gov Butch Otter has agreed to sell to the Chinese and allow them to make a 50 sq mile “self sustaining” city outside of Boise and another in the works for near Twin Falls, ID. He said it will be good for the state to have better trade with China. I can’t see how allowing Communist China to build and maintain “free trade zones” in America would, in any way, help our economy! They will bring their own people to work and live in these zones. They will not be under US LAWS, having their own police, etc. You all still want the GOP to be in power? I sure don’t. They are looking to put about 257 of these throughout America in places such as Idaho, Utah, Michigan, Ohio to name a few. Write your political “leaders” and demand that they do the will of the people they are working for…..
Then Gov. Butch needs to be run out of town on a rail. Damn anti-American!
And most of the US is relying on those of you in Idaho (and other “real” American states) to “put their foot down” against the anti-American agenda! If you’re all going the wrong way, what hope do we have?
Ann, do you have any idea how few people we have in Idaho who know or care about this? in my county (Kootenai) the unemployment is rampant, we don’t have a welfare system so people are literally unable to care for their basic needs. They go to Spokane (Washington, next state over) so they can split up as a family and the dad goes to a mens’ shelter and the wives and kids have to go to a separate womens’ and kids’ shelter. Now does that sound fair to you? Does it sound like the people in this state have any control whatsoever?? We can put as many feet down as we have and it won’t make a bit of difference how this turns out.
a zone like this would help to demonstrate to all just how productive a economic free zone could be. It would force the US govt. to stop all the crazy regs they put on american industry.
I just LOVE the false misleading reporting here.
JAPAN has been doing this for YEARS in the US. Honda @ MArysville OH is such a FTZ place.
although Japan is not such an ENEMY.
TRAITORS in the US at work.
Makes no sense. How can they create a Chinese Style Free Trade Zone in America? What does “Free” mean? hahaha. theres Free Trade Zones all over China now. Theres NOTHING FREE about them. They operate pretty much the same way all countries do everywhere. Send something out, pay some fees. Import something in, pay even more fees.
what a joke!
Who has the right to give away this so called new found land of the Indian Nations to China? This land still belongs to the Indian people. It was never given or sold to anyone, only taken by force. There has been to many guest who have taken up rights of ownership with phoney documents that are no better than the paper money being used to enforce capitalism. Take a look at what is going on in other lands around the globe. I think you will see for yourself the same things are happening created by the same people who are at the top offices of banking and power.
well said, Thunder Cloud…what happened to our people shouldn’t be wished on any other, but interesting to see how upsetting it is to the people, just think how we felt in our times…but then they called it “Manifest Destiny”. Maybe the Chinese have the same mindset. We fought and ultimately lost. I hope it doesn’t happen here again…just think how upsetting it would be to have your English-speaking kids forced to attend a Chinese speaking school, and be punished for getting caught speaking English. Time to reflec
The Chinese, like the Americans, have a Government that is evil and needs to be replaced by the PEOPLE !
US should take the lead and say: China we don’t need you…We are going to build our own cities for the Mexicans immigrants.
Years ago the chinese played a huge part in building the rails road over the sierras.The hardest working of all.They are still the hardest working today.Union workers see them as a threat.If you dont like china stay out of Walmart and the like.good luck with your shopping.
I don’t know what to think. We could show the Chinese that we are people they would want as neighbors and friends. Show them how the real people are good and kind and perhaps we can influence them to wanting to be a part of America and it’s culture. What else can we do? Let us try to rise above the Elites and their plans for world domination. The scum have the plan in the works so We the People must make a positive out of a negative.
The ones that I blame in the US are the unions. They have too much power. No wonder US corporations have been relocating to other countries and thus we have massive unemployment in the US. Along with massive regulations its no wonder companies to stay competitive look overseas. It is also the fault of the Demopublicans for their big government fascism and of course crony capitalism and how the government protects some corporations from any competition.

The Alex Jones infowars article which surmises that it would be staffed entirely by Chinese workers, which I haven't found independent confirmation of:

We must remember that the Chinese have a penchant for grandiose projects that go nowhere, like the huge nearly empty "ghost city" they've built on the Mongolian border.
When I was touring China with my wife about 10 years ago, we were planning to stay in an elaborate resort hotel in the countryside, but when we got there it was basically deserted except for about 3 staff who were all going to go home at 5pm, leaving us there alone all night; so we had to scrabble to find somewhere else to stay.
There is a lot of this going on in China. In the cities, especially the less prominent cities, every time a new politician comes in, he tears down all the fancy half-empty buildings put up by the previous administration and builds new ones. The have such a need to spend their piles money that they are constantly casting about for new pie-in-the-sky projects to throw cash into. I think the Idaho thing may have been a symptom of that.
