China in the news

Looks like China is making some bad decisions when it comes to picking allies - from The National Pulse:

11,000 Assault Weapons Parts Smuggled In From China, Says U.S. Border Agency
Authorities seized nearly 11,000 assault weapons parts smuggled into the U.S. from China in Louisville, Kentucky – a city facing violent riots rife with illegal firearms – amid a Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry into Chinese involvement in nationwide protests.

The shipment, valued at almost $130,000, originated from Shenzen, China and was intended for a residence in Melbourne, Florida.

Wonderful - a bit more:

“The importing of any type of munitions is regulated by the ATF,” said Thomas Mahn, Port Director, Louisville. “This smuggler was knowingly trying to avoid detection, however, our officers remain vigilant, ensuring our community is safe.”

The June 26th announcement cast Wall Street Journal reports of illegal firearms appearing around Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests in Louisville and across the country in an interesting – and perhaps foreign – light.

It also follows a fatal shooting in the area leaving one American dead, perhaps, as a result of illegally imported Chinese weapons.

China is asshoe - loud and clear. Some headlines:

• • US drugs bust uncovers enough Chinese fentanyl ‘to kill 14 million people’
  • How China flooded the U.S. with lethal fentanyl, fueling the opioid crisis
  • The Chinese doctor who tried to warn others about coronavirus
  • In George Floyd Protests, China Sees A Powerful Propaganda Opportunity
  • Chinese state media editorial claims some in China 'cheering' George Floyd unrest online
  • FBI Investigating Russia and China's Involvement in Riots, Protests Across US?

I could do many many more but you get the idea...
