2020 Ford Ranger. At the time it had the highest American-made content of any vehicle you could buy in the U.S.

FOUR REASONS WHY CHINA IS BECOMING #1 IN THE WORLD

1 - They have a very low tolerance for crime. The death sentence is swiftly and routinely used for terrorists, murderers, and drug traffickers.

2 - Very low tolerance for Religion. They do not believe there is a God. Almost no religious killings and getting rid of the Indigenous Chinese Muslim population as fast as they can.

3 - They have not been involved in any expensive wars or invaded any country for the last seventy years.

4 - Their primary weapon of choice to conquer the world is Finance and countries around the world are falling fast.

Not just the USA but all the world is in trouble.

Soon China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States. Chinese acquisition of US businesses set a record last year and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.
The Smithfield Foods acquisition is a great example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 US states, and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with about 2,100 others. But now 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.

It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between "the Chinese government" and "the Chinese corporations". In 2011, 43% of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest.

Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6B to purchase AMC entertainment one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Chinese companies control 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 $100M plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on Communist China.

And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots? DETROIT.

Chinese owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle technology and selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores and hiring experienced engineers and designers to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers.

If you recently purchased an "American-made" vehicle there is a good chance that it has several Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers in the United States.

China is very interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.
For example, China is 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.

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

Are you starting to get the picture yet? China is on the rise and has been for a long time while America plays political games.
If you doubt this, just read the following:

When you total up all imports and exports China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the US has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 23 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as does the United States.
# After being bailed out by US 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 US Olympic team were made in China .
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York includes glass imported from China.
# China now consumes more energy than does the United States.
# 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.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.
# China pledges to be carbon-neutral sometime around 2060 (ha ha)
# In published scientific research articles China will become number one in the world very shortly. And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg.


Don't give up on the U. S. We are still #1 in the world in –

(a) number of lawyers per capita
(b) cost of education per student
(c) government inefficiency
(d) growth in National debt

As a follow-up to my previous little rant, a friend sent me this addendum

.There has been or was for years a cottage industry In Cali catering to pregnant Chinese women. Houses were set up as birthing centers, Chinese women would give birth and thanks to our misused “birthright citizenship” their offspring are American citizens. They then fly back to China to raise their children. There will probably be a Chinese President, educated and indoctrinated by the CCP. Biden probably got his 10%.

That's the patient smart way to take over. They're using capitalism and the foolish greed of corporations against us. If they can't buy them, they just out compete them.

I ain't done this rant yet.

Most Americans are familiar with the tale of the Trojan horse.

Chinese Communist Party-Backed Battery Plant in Michigan​


That definition certainly applies to the situation in Michigan, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is attempting to “subvert from within” by backing a lithium battery components factory in Big Rapids.

However, unlike the circumstances in Troy, in which Trojan leaders were tricked by their enemy into accepting a “gift” that turned out to hasten their downfall, Michigan leaders are in cahoots with the enemy by making it as easy as possible for the CCP to successfully conduct its twenty-first-century rendition of the Trojan horse ploy in the heartland of the United States.

This week, the Michigan Senate approved $175 million in taxpayer subsidies to Gotion Inc. for the construction of a three-million-square-foot electric vehicle battery parts manufacturing facility in Green Charter Township.

The plan, known as Project Elephant, “is the biggest ever economic development project in Northern Michigan and will shore up our status as the global hub of mobility and electrification,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The incentives package offered by Michigan also includes a “Designated Renaissance Zone estimated to be worth $540 million

Like it or not, we are at the beginning of a new cold war with an up-and-coming communist superpower. During the previous cold war, it would have been inconceivable, perhaps treasonous, for a state to woo a Soviet-aligned technology company with huge sums of taxpayer money to set up shop in the United States.

We will be manipulated and controlled by the ccp forever. The funny part is that once the takeover is complete they will have no use for soros, Obama and the rest of those useful idiots.

Well, this call for "compatriots" in the US to "serve the motherland" of China is interesting.

This is the link here.

I know this reality is not what idealists like, but good guys must be proactive against bad guys, or bad guys win.

Can't stand liberal stupid.

China has the goods on Joe. So does Ukraine. We're not run by people who are all in for team USA. They're in to exploit our country through their position and sell us out on a routine basis.

I remember what this clown did on his first day of office through a stack of executive orders.

I don't expect him to do **** when China takes Taiwan.

After China takes Taiwan, Joe will turn his back to the media if asked about it.
I'm thinking that China overrunning Taiwan will be ignored but somehow we've got to "defend'' Ukraine.
Apparently companies in Taiwan were not forward-thinking enough to put Hunter Biden on their board of directors.

If Dennis Rodman can do it I don't see why Hunter Biden can't.

Taiwan better be able to fight the Ukrainians are. If they don't China will eat them up. I'm not sure the USA will fight for them. Giving them suppliers willl be problematic as it an island.
