Would I be arrested if I went to China to sell them technology?
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 09:41 AM by HypnoToad
Many of our corporate executives have and they're still doing fine.

Maybe I should do the same.

But, wait, I'd be arrested as a spy giving out "US secrets". Or, worse, arrested as a terrorist.

How come corporate execs can freely trade with the enemy and the rest of us cannot, huh?

1. A Republican could sell the newest high speed super computer to China
and get an award from Bush.

A Democrat could sell a calculator made in Malaysia to China - and get five years in jail.

2. You could ask Bush* to grant you a waiver like Loral Group got from Reagan
Loral Group sold China high tech guidance systems for their space program. Clinton "renewed" that waiver and was accused of selling China top secret material. Loral Group was/is a GOP contributor.

3. The GOP is one group of sick mofos, that's for sure.
