WASHINGTON -- The Senate Foreign Relations committee yesterday passed by voice vote a $25 million measure to stimulate Chinese markets for US-made technology by training Chinese technicians at US manufacturing plants on equipment the companies hope to sell in China. The measure, sponsored by Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), is an attempt to increase the competitiveness of US products abroad, Kerry said.
China is considered one of the world's premier growth markets for a wide variety of products, but particularly for high- technology goods to help in the country's efforts to modernize.
PING
Good find. He's toast.
first steps toward outsourcing. that was just the bonus. he wanted to help build COMMUNIST CHINA's economy. In less than 20 it has been moving pretty strong. Get this guy out of our country.
March 13, 1987
WASHINGTON -- Sen. John Kerry introduced a $25 million "training for trade" bill to bring Chinese technocrats and managers to the United States for training on American high-technology equipment. Kerry said the program would stimulate exports of US technology to China. "It only stands to reason that a Chinese manager trained on US technology will import the technology compatible with the training," Kerry said.
Duh! Not only were they trained on the products, now they MAKE them and sell them back to us.
John Kerry's "I have a dream delusion speech."
Fire this out to Drudge
Now now now. Don't you know we are supposed to be focusing on "The Issues" and not on what Kerry did to create the issues ?
;-)
Would be interesting if it could be determined what the Chinese lobbyists gave Kerry in return for this, i.e., did any Chinese companies in the industries involved donate to Kerry's 1990 campaign?
Just how much equipment did the Chinese buy, after they had time to check it out?
imho,
what a transparent puppet master plan to give more of our strategic security away to Beijing.
Traitorous idiots.
No way would China let us get the big benefit from such arrangements.
Kipling had it right. No way will the West ever out negotiate or maneouver Asia.
May the GOP use it against him! (I thought he didn't support out-sourcing --gag.)
1. 1987 President was ..... ? 2. Federal debt in 1987 : $2346.1 billion - now ?
Is this a test? Can I buy a clue? I sure hope so, because I don't have one. LOL Btw, welcome to Free Republic. 8^)
This also is in our factories, universities and government.
Russian commies...Chinese commies....Vietnamese commies....and American commies....
John Kerry leads the way.....
Judas goat....for President....
What ever happened to this bill?
Kerry has continued his support for the VC, while in the Senate. This is the information that Kerry doesn't want the public to realise. He likes the Vietnam controversy, because it takes the heat off of his Senate record.
He also killed the "Vietnam Human Rights Bill".
In 2001 the "Vietnam Human Rights Act" was introduced in Congress. The Act tied future U.S. aid for Vietnam, to the Hanoi government improving its abysmal human rights record, including persecution of America's friends, the Christian indiginous people from the hills of Vietnam, the "Montagnards".
The bill passed the House with 410 ayes and only one no. But in the Senate, Kerry locked the bill up in committee and refused to allow it to go the floor for debate and a vote. In effect, Kerry killed the human rights bill.
We need to start publisizing Kerry's record. Here is another story from France:
Vietnam lashes out at US human rights bill
HANOI : Vietnam lashed out at a decision by the US House of Representatives to restrict American aid to the communist nation because of human rights concerns, warning it could damage bilateral relations. The ruling Communist Party's Nhan Dan newspaper said the Vietnam Human Rights Act, which passed the House on Monday in a 323-45 vote, ran counter to efforts to fully normalize relations between the two former foes.
"The presentation of this so-called 'Vietnam Human Rights Act' at a time when the Vietnam-US ties (are) progressing well and expanding is untimely and detrimental to bilateral relations," it said in an online editorial. The legislation bars the US government from increasing non-humanitarian assistance to Vietnam over this fiscal year's level of about 40 million dollars unless Hanoi sets free political and religious prisoners and improves its overall "extremely poor" rights record.
International human rights groups have long charged the communist regime with smothering all dissent and jailing democracy or human rights activists. Earlier this month two elderly dissidents became the latest in a series of writers and intellectuals to be jailed for criticising the one-party state. The bill also authorises the president to block any non-humanitarian loans or assistance to Vietnam from the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank, one of its major donors.
Extremely sensitive to criticism of its human rights record, Vietnam accused the United States of hypocrisy, saying it had no right to interfere given its own behaviour during the Vietnam War. "Their war of aggression in Vietnam was the height of their violations of human rights and national self-determination," the party mouthpiece said. Under the legislation, which still has to pass the Senate, individuals and non-governmental organizations that promote democracy and human rights are to receive four million dollars in the 2004 and 2005 fiscal years. More than 10 million dollars are also being offered over the same period to overcome Vietnam's jamming of Radio Free Asia, a surrogate Congress-financed radio station that beams US programming to the region.
The House approved a similar bill in 2001, but it died in the Senate after 2004 Democratic presidential candidate Senator John Kerry and others blocked it from being brought to vote. Republican Representative Chris Smith from New Jersey, the driving force behind the attempts to hold Hanoi to account over its rights record, said this latest bill was aimed at forcing Vietnam out of "the dark ages of repression, brutality and abuse". "We cannot stand idly by while the human rights situation in Vietnam deteriorates and goes from horrific to even worse," he added.
In February, the US State Department in its annual human rights report accused the Vietnamese government of committing "serious abuses". This followed its December report on religious freedom in which it grouped Vietnam in a worst offenders category of totalitarian and authoritarian states that view religious groups as "enemies of the state". Vietnam and the United States established diplomatic relations in 1995, two decades after the US-backed Saigon regime fell to communist forces.

no link on source.. can we have a link on source... thank you
Add this to the calculus of treason:
"During the Clinton era, Kerry received an $8,000 campaign contribution from notorious Democratic brown bag man Johnny Chung at a 1996 fundraiser. That same year the Senator took $10,000, in exchange for which Kerry arranged a high level meeting between Communist Chinese intelligence operative Lieutenant Colonel Liu Chaoying, Johnny Chung and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"From Red China’s point of view, this SEC meeting apparently had multiple purposes – including money to be made from creating Chinese “front” companies on American stock exchanges, and the potential use of such companies to transfer militarily-useful technologies and hardware to Beijing."
