Chinese Government Shipping Company Representative Sits On Customs & Border Protection's Industry Advisory Council

An economic and trade policymaking infrastructure in Washington, D.C., which is dominated by importers, retailers, foreign producers, foreign-owned shipping companies and the many legal and lobbying firms that represent them, is working against the interests of U.S. domestic manufacturing.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) industry advisory committee that is in involved in major policies related to manufactured imports, has a roster of 20 members, none of whom represent U.S. industry or American manufacturing workers.

Our government is in hock to China. Our banks are in hock to China. Wall Street is in hock to China. The Federal Reserve is in hock to China. Our lobbyists, trade associations, and advocacy groups are largely funded by multinationals with heavy investment in China. Guess who's calling the shots?

It's up to us citizens. American consumers can and must start saying "NO" to products made in China. We have to stop handing it all over to them without a fight.

2. Wealth is difficult to distribute without money.
3. Wealth is the reality of the physical things we need to survive and thrive:  food, clothing, shelter, ice cream & computers.  It is the product of mining, industrial production, and agriculture.

5. Money is easy to manufacture and control.
6. Wealth takes a lot of blood, sweat, toil and tears.
