MY SAY: HILLARY’S HYPOCRISY ON CHINA

Hillary got hawkish on China at a campaign event in New Hampshire. Her words: “….”But we also have to be fully vigilant, China’s military is growing very quickly, they’re establishing military installations that again threaten countries we have treaties with, like the Philippines because they are building on contested property……” They’re also trying to hack into everything that doesn’t move in America. Stealing commercial secrets … from defense contractors, stealing huge amounts of government information, all looking for an advantage.”

I would think that China is a subject that Hillary would avoid at all costs since some of the most egregious Bill Clinton scandals are linked to China. In 1998, the New York Times revealed that the Clinton administration permitted two U.S. aerospace corporations to transfer sensitive missile technology to the Chinese. The CEO of one of the corporations, Loral, had pumped hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign contributions into the Democratic National Committee. In return, the Clinton administration waived controls on Loral’s export of these technologies to the Chinese aerospace industry. In the campaign of 2008, Bernard L. Schwartz, former chairman of the satellite communications firm Loral Space and Communications was a big bucks supporter of Hillary.

And remember Johnny Chung who delivered  $300,000 from a Chinese army Lt. Col. Liu Chaoying, an executive with a state-owned aerospace company to the Democrats’ 1996 campaign? Chung was a frequent guest at the White House and once delivered a $50,000 check to Hillary Rodham Clinton’s chief of staff, Margaret A. Williams who accepted the check and passed it along to the DNC, even though federal law bars government employees from accepting campaign contributions on government property.
