It is no secret that the Obama's and the Clinton's are not the best of friends. Bill and Barry have mutually screwed each over in well documented cases.
Now that Hillary is getting uncomfortably close to the White House, it's her turn
A two-fer - first from The Washington Examiner:
Clinton Foundation got $2 million from firm linked to Chinese intelligence
A Chinese firm with extremely close ties to China's internal security department is among the largest donors to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, a revelation that recalls the former president's multiple campaign finance scandals involving illegal Asian money.
"Rilin Enterprises pledged $2 million in 2013 to the Clinton Foundation's endowment. The company is a privately-held Chinese construction and trade conglomerate and run by billionaire Wang Wenliang, who is also a delegate to the Chinese parliament," CBS News reported Monday.
Second - from The New York Times:
Clinton Says Chinese Money Did Not Influence U.S. Policy
President Clinton said today that reported political campaign contributions from China to the Democrats had not influenced his foreign policy, but he welcomed further investigation into decisions that made it easier for China to launch American satellites and possibly obtain sensitive technology.
''The decisions we made, we made because we thought they were in the interests of the American people,'' Mr. Clinton said, responding for the first time to reports that a Democratic Party fund-raiser told Federal investigators of funneling thousands of dollars from a Chinese military officer in the President's 1996 re-election campaign. Mr. Clinton, speaking at the end of an economic meeting in Birmingham, England, said he would determine the substance of the charges before deciding whether they would affect policy toward the Chinese Government.
Emphasis mine - if Hillary sincerely believes this, she is criminally negligent. The Chinese welcome the manufacturing jobs that we will not do because it gives them the insider scoop to our Intellectual Property.
One issue is with Rare Earths - China now controls the market and any piece of modern electronics manufactured today needs these for display screens, batteries and mics and speakers. The USA has abundant supplies of rare earth ores but they are accompanied by several percent Thorium and mining companies are prohibited from mining this ore (monazite) because of this. We could be telling China to fsck off and become the world leader in clean nuclear energy and rare earth extraction but no - the braying jackasses in Washington D.C. will not do this.
