Surprise.
The spying accusations were baseless and undermined relations
between the countries, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Liu
Jianchao, said at a news conference.
Four Chinese are charged with spying by the Justice
Department. Australia, Great Britain, Germany, New Zealand and
Australia have all become upset with China's increased "clandestine
efforts to collect military secrets and advanced technology."
All
baseless, say the Chinese. Lies. All Lies. Its a good
thing they can't arrest our reporters and whistleblowers and put them
in prison. Like they do at home.
No wait. They do punish Americans, through paid intermediaries, for raising concerns. The University of Michigan administration punished Professor Bill Kauffman for raising the issue of Chineses students being used to steal high technology from the university program.
The
University of Michigan is paid large amounts of full tuition money (U
of M tuition is very very high) by the Chinese government to educate
Chinese students. No background checks on those students. U
of M is happy to take the checks, and implement the "don't ask, don't
tell" policy. Kauffman asked and told. They did not like it.

Colorado CPA member Milt Heft has these thoughts on money, wealth and the economy. Heft is the owner of Petrogen, Inc in Colorado Springs.
A few thoughts about manufacturing:
There is a great misunderstanding of the relationship- between money and wealth. The beginning principles with which we can all agree are a few and simple noble truths:
1. Money is meaningless without wealth.
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.
4. Money is anything that make the wheels of production and distribution go round.
5. Money is easy to manufacture and control.
6. Wealth takes a lot of blood, sweat, toil and tears.
