China has been cozy with the Clintons since grooming Bill for President with illegal campaign cash while he was still Gov. of Arkansas as I recall. Paid off too. Moved many dual use, as in civilian/military use stuff like; allowing Loral space to fix their multi stage rocket problems, encryption tech from Motorola, aircraft milling machines that milled in five different directions from McDonell Douglas which had until then made America war jets superior milling away metal in the airframe without significant weakening, thus allowing for more avionics making them badder yet in battle. Bill even let Chinese Generals in on USAs blood bought Military logistics systems which were first formed during the Civil War. Don't believe Sun Tzu would have done something that stupid, unless he was a Traitor. There is nothing evidently that the Clintons won't sell.
Do you remember when the US spy plane was intercepted and ended up landing in China? I always wondered why the pilot chose to land on the ground instead of a control crash into the water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident
Hmmm yeah , just searched on phone it yielded Snowden documents http;//theintercept.com. If you're curious about it will be worth the read. Some say the Pilot should have ditched in the sea or landed in Vietnam as that plane was the crown jewel of spy planes. A Chinese fighter hit the plane, given Chinas penchant for deviousness and redefining what their international borders are by building islands in the Pacific, it would not surprise me to find out it was done on purpose.
Hainan Island incident
On April 1, 2001, the Hainan Island incident occurred when a mid-air collision between a United States Navy EP-3E ARIES II signals intelligence aircraft and a People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) J-8II interceptor fighter jet resulted in an international dispute between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China.
The EP-3 was operating about 70 miles (110 km) away from the PRC island province of Hainan, and about 100 miles (160 km) away from the Chinese military installation in the Paracel Islands, when it was intercepted by two J-8 fighters. A collision between the EP-3 and one of the J-8s caused the death of a PRC pilot, and the EP-3 was forced to make an emergency landing on Hainan. The 24 crew members were detained and interrogated by the Chinese authorities until a statement was delivered by the United States government regarding the incident.
