CHINA - MADE IN AMERICA. (Updated)

By Paul Stone

This will be a different take than you have read before on two common newsworthy topics and one doesn’t happen without the other - China and our government. Those two things.

Now for any of you who like to think our government is good, you’ll say ‘It’s done some good stuff. They try. This is America.’ Well, in my opinion, you need to quit lying to yourself.

Read on further cause this will highlight the core of how f---ed up we are… suffering the delusion that voting once every two years somehow makes us free.

Let’s talk about China—their government is evil. And that word gets tossed around way too often. The definition is “profoundly immoral and wicked.” Immoral means “to go against ethical judgment” and wicked means “something that brings sorrow, distress or calamity” and profound means ‘extremely strong.’ So, the Chinese government “is very powerfully, the opposite of ethics, ruinous of right living, forcing sorrow, distress and calamity” to enslave its people and the planet at large.

It is also the second-largest economy. Their factories make tragically fallible junk, a global tech titan, and expert in the art of the "surprise visit" into ultra secured American databases. So, they are also thieves.

By surprise visit, I mean hacking U.S. telecom networks so thoroughly they probably know all your internet content, texts, and behaviors are. It’s like handing them your secret diary, but instead of teenage angst, it’s national security on the line. Flat out, by and large, they have stolen every technology by which they make something and during the last many years they are stealing knowledge of… YOU.

Quick interruption:

This will horrify you to the core. China is made in America.

- 1989 China decides to take our money, Tiananmen Square formalizes harsh communist rule and direction for its future.

- 1990 Chinese GDP (the annual size of an economy) is a paltry $330 billion.

By comparison, there were 66 billionaires in America in 1990 - that’s sixty-six individuals in America.

China wasn’t a threat to anyone in the world (1990) – the U.S. GDP in 1990 was $5.7 trillion 1,727% bigger than China’s.

Your U.S. Senate, with all the wisdom of a 6-yr old, voted China as “most valued trade status nation” in 2000. A communist country suddenly became favored to receive all our great jobs.

In 2001, the U.S. government made this favored status granted to China permanent law. President Cliton promoted them to be eligible to join the WTO, World Trade Organization – becoming its first communist member.

2023 Chinese GDP $17.5 trillion.

o All promoted growth by the U.S. government and that government allowing greed-driven U.S. corporations to sell out- you, the American resident, for temporarily increasing profit margins.

o Since 1990 to 2023, following our presidents and senate’s lead they’ve secured China an estimated $288,759,900,000,000 ($288 trillion) over the last 33 years.

A COMMUNIST Country, a pimple on the Earth 33 years ago.

Now hear this: The U.S. has closed 73,757 manufacturing firms since 1991.

Forty years ago, 80% of the items Americans bought were made by U.S. producers. By 2009, that number shrank to 65%, and to 51% by 2014. Today, U.S. manufacturers make only about 11% of American-bought goods

Feeling like you might throw up?

I wonder if there is a relationship with our manufacturing base going overseas and our national debt– as it’s punching a hole in the ozone layer?

UPDATE 12/07/24

FBI Says Everyone Should Use Encryption Apps for Their Calls and Texts After China Hack: ‘Encryption Is Your Friend’

The best way to secure your data is to use end-to-end encryption apps like Signal and WhatsApp, officials advised. – People Magazine reports.

The FBI became aware of a potentially massive data breach in late spring or early summer, and didn’t tell any of us tenants about it until recently. FBI is encouraging people to start texting and calling over end-to-end encryption apps in the wake of one of the largest cyberattacks in U.S. history, according to reports from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal.

In a call with reporters on Tuesday, Dec. 3, security officials from the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) revealed that China has hacked data from Verizon, AT&T and Lumen Technologies customers. The scope of the data breach — which Microsoft has nicknamed “Salt Typhoon” — is so significant that officials are unable to provide a timeframe for when the threat will be under control.

Which implies, is it no longer safe for Americans to use your telecom provider like AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen which is a provider for many carriers you would subscribe with like CenturyTel? This increases my level of disappointment with Washington for the last 54 years of ineptitude to a new extreme level of disgust. Now its best to use Signal App to communicate privately. Privacy is not secrecy, it is a pillar of Autonomy, a key ingredient in Democracy.

U.S. effort and prostitution of itself didn’t even make China a friend. I won’t write something disgusting and offensive enough to describe what China’s behavior is like toward America in response to all our government gave them. So, skipping that and moving onto China’s latest espionage project, charmingly called Salt Typhoon.

It turned America’s telecom networks into their personal playground for eight months. They didn’t just peek—they mapped infrastructure, found vulnerabilities, and looted anything that wasn’t nailed down. And if that wasn’t enough, they hit up allied networks too, because why spy on one country when you can spy on them all? And nobody will actually stand up to China and shut that shit down?

What’s China’s goal? A dystopian database profiling all Americans. Think Orwell meets Silicon Valley. They’re using artificial intelligence to sift through stolen data, building a detailed map of who talks to whom, about what, and when. So no, it’s not paranoia; it’s Beijing plotting to outmaneuver the U.S. politically and economically.

It is to support and train the ultimate weapon, AI deployed control aimed back at us. All our conversations, our styles in speech, our reactions and actions, our loving texts and our angry ones, and everything involved in human exchange has flowed into Chinese AI learning. Training its capabilities to supremacy, and weaponizing that knowledge to control and enslave you on a level far above your own government’s achievements to date.

“He who controls the language, controls the world”- Stalin / Goebbels coined that. I’m sure young Chinese dreaming of working in their government’s Politburo have posters of them on their walls. Personally, I had Farrah Faucet and Warren Moon.

How’s Washington handling it? With all the urgency of a DMV line in Los Angeles. If you haven’t had that pleasure, you’ve been spared a different kind of evil.

Sure, policymakers like Marco Rubio and Mark Warner are waving red flags… Waving flags - you know, super scary stuff. But rest assured the National Security Council’s vow to "aggressively mitigate the threat" isn’t exactly comforting when the hackers have already made themselves at home in our networks.

It’s like promising to change the locks after your house has been looted. Sticks and stones break bones, words will never hurt China. They actually are at the last thing on the list - to steal our words.

Now, let’s talk about American companies practically rolling out the red carpet for China. Big U.S. corporations have been so cozy with Beijing they might as well be sending Christmas cards. Here are some standout offenders:

Apple isn’t just making iPhones; it’s funding China’s industrial revolution. Over 95% of iPhones are assembled in Chinese factories. While China laughs all the way to the bank, the U.S. is left with a trade deficit the size of Tim Cook’s bonuses. Oh, and those Rust Belt manufacturing jobs? They’re busy making iPhone screens in Guangdong.

Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory is a monument to China’s charm offensive on Western businesses. The factory churns out electric vehicles faster than Elon Musk tweets. But here’s the kicker: every dollar Tesla pours into China is a dollar not spent on bolstering American EV production. Meanwhile, legacy automakers like GM and Ford are stuck scrambling for crumbs.

Boeing is so tied to China’s aviation market it might as well have a Chinese flag on its planes. With China as the largest market for new aircraft, Boeing has invested heavily in Chinese production. But there’s turbulence ahead: geopolitical tensions make those deals a ticking time bomb, threatening American aerospace jobs if relations sour.

Maybe the worst of it for me, is The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet, has joined the China party - pouring billions into BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle maker. That’s great news for BYD shareholders—but not so much for Detroit. Buffett’s investment underscores a painful truth: even America’s business icons are more willing to bet on China’s future than reinvest in U.S. auto giants.

Obviously, the overwhelming amount is where the worst of our government leaders hail from in California and New York the strongest sycophants for China- they’re in Texas for petroleum related matters, certainly their little Chinese Mission near Houston is known for launching mischievous spy games and tech theft.

So, what does this corporate coziness mean for the U.S. economy?

In short: dependency, vulnerability, and not only missed but deleted opportunities for American residents. I am using ‘resident’ throughout because I want you to realize you are essentially trapped, you are well below what ‘citizen’ would entitle you to, you are essentially a renter, a tenant, of the Central Government.

By pouring resources into China, American companies have created the most massive ailment to humanity since Nazi Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union. They are continuing propping up a rival and evil superpower while neglecting their own homeland.

Every outsourced job is one less chance to rebuild our middle class. Every Chinese factory is a permanent deletion of opportunity to preserve American manufacturing.

Let’s not forget how China uses these investments. They steal off Western tech and expertise to climb the economic ladder, ratchet up control of humans and oppression, and build a massive military, turning our know-how into their competitive edge.

The result? A win-win for Beijing and a bloody massacre for the U.S.

But, the U.S. what?... THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA’S CITIZENS – that’s what - YOU!

The government who dresses nice and comes to the camera is literally making decisions to harm you and your future and your shot at pursuing happiness off camera.

China’s hacking isn’t just about swiping data; it’s about gaining leverage. American companies like Cisco have had their routers compromised, which more than half the internet traffic of the U.S. flows through. While government contractors like Lumen Technologies took months to even notice they’d been breached. Salt Typhoon didn’t just steal credentials—they came back for seconds.

It's enraging that anybody even asks Beijing to comment! Of course, we know what they’ll respond with! But use this illumination to realize ALL your government is willing to do- is speak…

But, of course, how our stupid, inept, cowardly government puts this to Beijing in words, that allows China to deny everything. The Chinese Embassy called these accusations “false evidence.” As if we’re all collectively hallucinating the cyber equivalent of a bank heist. Investigators, meanwhile, point to the Ministry of State Security, which cleverly outsources hacking to private contractors. Plausible deniability never looked so polished.

Now this has to be the strongest gut-wrenching example that you, the American citizen, mean absolutely nothing. The pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. and the government of the U.S. has allowed those pharma companies to set up and give the Chinese the technology for making a staggering 95% of our medicine that is either made in, or can’t exist without Chinese made components.

Just since 2020, US imports of Chinese pharmaceuticals have grown by 485%. "China controls almost 100% of the generic medications that are prescribed in the United States.” – recent report by CBS Texas.

Now the main point of this writing is not the stats and facts. It is making you aware of something very simple - your central government made all this happen. Your government allowed, encouraged, sponsored, promoted, passed laws embedding China’s rise from nothing all the way up to threatening you and much of the world in thirty-three short years. It’s not China’s fault, they are communist shitbags. Recognizing your central government's disloyalty to you and its decades-long choice making is also shit, is the awareness to take away from this posting.

But there are more facts and details to highlight.

There’s the environmental disaster. China spews out 35% of global CO2 emissions, and in 2023, a staggering 80% of its surface water was undrinkable. And yet, American companies keep outsourcing to China, turning a blind eye to the environmental carnage in favor of quick profits.

Meanwhile, China’s domestic issues are bubbling over. Rising unemployment, soaring living costs, and post-COVID stagnation have left its population teetering on the edge. Violent incidents—like the Zhuhai car rampage that killed 35—are becoming disturbingly common, revealing cracks in China’s iron-fisted control. Their surveillance state may excel at spying on the West, but it’s clearly not great at predicting its own chaos.

Globally, China’s reputation has tanked. How a communist government ever had a ‘reputation’ that could tank from a lofty level confuses me. I’ve never read about the times the world was enthralled with the Soviets. A Pew Research survey found that 79% of respondents across 19 countries view China’s policies as a "serious problem." From human rights abuses to environmental destruction to intellectual property theft, China’s rap sheet reads like a dystopian novel. Yet, we keep treating them like a business partner instead of the strategic threat they are.

Here’s the thing about China: it doesn’t just want to compete with the U.S.—it wants to dominate. It simply copies everything. They are thieves. They may have invented the abacus… and then nothing else since.

China is simply copying what your government is already doing to you, making you a slave. Your rights are gone, everything you do is monitored and reported on. Your finances- hah, can you pack it in and leave the world of commerce? No. Everything costs you a tax, you pay for this government, just like ours paid for China!

And that is the main, main point.

China is doing a damn good job, thanks in no small part to the woeful lack of loyalty to us residents by our central government. By outsourcing critical industries, basic manufacturing, neglecting cybersecurity, and enabling corporate greed, your government has effectively placed our life systems inside Beijing.

Important question, “Doesn’t in most ways meaningful, your central government manage and influence what happens to your savings?” They print onto an excel spreadsheet your dollar into nothingness to pay their bills- that’s the dollar your savings is in. Just one example…

Does anything in the core of this message above cause you to have increasing confidence in trusting your savings to their dollar?

To me, the key ingredient to evil is ‘intentional action’. The act is intentional to garner the label, evil. Your government makes intentional actions against you and has for a sickening length of time. None of their evil is limited to a subset of crucial life systems. Your earnings, your future, your money itself, the dollar, your family unit, your health, those are the major parts to our life’s systems. That’s all your government at work.
