Are you learning Chinese yet, or will you go down with the ship?
In the 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 will accelerate. When I was growing up in England, people complained about American companies buying up British companies and taking over. As a naturalized citizen, I am experiencing déjà vu, as it’s happening again. It’s America’s turn to be swallowed up while the American public watches Netflix and football on TV, while buying stuff using borrowed money and being medicated by big Pharma.
Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in twenty six states and employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. 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.

There is often not much of a difference between the Chinese government and Chinese corporations. In 2011, it is reported that 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest.
Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment – one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. The Wanda Group, a 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 will be pleased to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China.

China is also investing in Detroit. Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores; hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to buy 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.
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.

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

When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet. We are number two and rapidly falling behind.
- Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that totals more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
- China has more foreign currency reserves than any other country on the planet. They will make a play for becoming the global reserve currency. If they do, we are finished.
- 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, as are many U.S. flags.
- The new World Trade Center tower in New York includes 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.
- With President Trump’s (what passes for) negotiating skill via the upcoming Singapore negotiations with North Korea, China won’t have to sneakily make apparel in North Korea labeled Made in China. Why? Because China will be free to employ millions of North Korean workers openly, rather than secretly, and not go to Ethiopia to open factories. Our corporations won’t have a chance to exploit extremely cheap North Korean labor and will lay off more American workers. They will have Chinese middlemen (business “partnerships”) the North Korean deals. Why? For some reason, the North Koreans don’t like America. Imagine that? I wonder why?
- China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire planet.
- China produces three times as much coal and eleven times as much steel as the United States does.
- China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements. As car batteries need cobalt and Democratic Republic of the Congo has it, China will take over there as well.
- China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system. Our government recently blocked the sale of U.S. made cell phone components to ZTE and then President Trump, using his infinite genius and wisdom, reversed that decision. I can only wonder why, although I have a good idea that will be left for another article? In any instance, I am sure that China will rapidly end their dependence on these U.S. parts. They only make a mistake once. Our government is too busy squabbling like babies that they repeat errors over and over again. Mt. Olympus must be one non-stop squabblefest. I just don’t know how the Washington supermarkets keep enough diapers in stock.
- In published scientific research articles China is expected to become number one in published papers.
So what do you think? How are your Mandarin Chinese lessons progressing? For full disclosure, I read an article with similar content, changed it and have republished. I also do business in China, so I understand how they do business. They are really nice people, but they are business people. They don’t mess around.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Do not depend on your congresspeople to fix our problems. These are the public (self) servants that, because of gerrymandering and non-competitive races stay in office forever, getting richer and richer. You may actually believe you are freely voting for them but you are not. This Russian collusion and advertising nonsense is a drop in the bucket compared to what both Republican and Democratic parties are doing to you, not for you. You are being channeled into voting the way you are instructed to. You probably don’t realize it, but you are.
Our “leaders” are preparing to get into the lifeboats. You are locked below decks.
