"The New American," reports* a disturbing and irrational policy by Obama, who plans to share the nation's top technology secrets with China instead of curtailing their thievery. The technology, forbidden by several past administrations, includes "sensors, optics, and biological and chemical processes," all of which are “identified as having inherent military application".
Obama claims trade will be from private "enterprise" to "enterprise". (But as the article points out, there are no private enterprises in China. There is only China.) Just how Obama plans to expedite this arrangement is curious. It is highly conceivable that he would order U.S. companies to comply with the agreement, even if they 1.) Created the technology and weren’t obliged to give it away; and 2.) Felt it was very un-American (read: treasonous) to divulge such information.
The effect of such a policy is chilling: Many Houston companies are in jeopardy of economic disaster. Demand for products with such technology produced here can be lost to China's manipulative marketing. Their price point can lead to destruction of our export of like products and future products. Even the Houston Technology Center, Texas' largest technology "business incubator" ** for emerging new companies will likely suffer significantly from this give-away. The non-profit organization, which has been responsible for job growth, promotes and funds technology in areas of energy, science, nanotechnology, and NASA/aerospace. It's tremendous success is likely to be derailed along with its clients, if emerging companies know that their innovations will be confiscated at their expense and handed to a highly questionable ally. This is not trade but capture and execution. That may be China's definition of free enterpise, but it certainly is not America's.
Additionally, with a direct exchange between "enterprises" comes knowing who made such technology and where companies are located. Those become vulnerable military targets by China or any allies with whom they also "share". It creates security risks in the Houston area and across the nation.
Fortunately, we are not China. The People run the government here. Texas, as the 15th largest economy in the world has phenomenal power. Filing yet another suit, with an injunction against Obama and the administration, would be a start.
Additionally, Obama will significantly loose comrades in the Congress and may face impeachment for, among other things, aiding the enemy, if we exercise our voting rights. Giving a thief the goods is not a better solution than pre-empting their attempts to steal them.
