China & Red Army Want to Control Global Crossing
Vanity | self

Posted on 02/08/2002 10:01:40 AM PST by Laserman

Excuse the vanity, but I have not seen this posted. Apparently, a front company for the Chinese Red Army is looking to buy out Global Crossing for $750M and would thus control their high bandwidth communications link between the US and Asia, and the US and Europe. Has anyone seen this in the press? Talk about a security risk!!

Roger Hedgecock (sp?)is sitting in for Rush today. He discussed this at some length. Sorry I can't remember the name of the company but they are a front for the Chinese army. Wish I could be of more help.

Here is the link to the ChiCom company which wants to buy GX: (ChiCom front company trying to buy GX!)

SINGAPORE Technologies Telemedia (ST Telemedia) and Hutchison Whampoa are the ones trying to buy GX. ST Telemedia is a semi real company. Hutchison Whampoa is a Red Army front company. Go to yahoo.com and do a search on Hutchison Whampoa for an interesting look!

Old news...Hutchinson Whampoa already owns half of Global Crossing. I posted the info here yesterday (with links). They have the contract for broadcasting the Winter Olympics.

It is real simple. During the X42's terms, the ChiComs bought technology from us, that moved them decades ahead in the h bomb race and how to guide the missiles (Loral Space) to deliver these bombs to America.

As dangerous is their attempt to buy into key businesses that trade with us and the rest of the free world. GX is particuliarily bad due to the communications technology that the ChiComs would get hold of and the Trans Pacific communication ability!

If the ChiComs control communication, key ports, shipping, the Panama Canal and certain rare commodities and they could win the economic war. Winning the economic war enables the ChiCom to spend more on high tech war toys/equipment. We just saw what happened in Afghanistan when one foe has the high tech advantage over the other side.

This will never happen, the conservatives will not allow it. Watch to see which DemonicRat senators who hate America will be quiet and will work in the back ground to let these ChiCom front countries buy GX. Then watch the $'s that flow to these DemonicRat bastards who hate America. ChiCom $'s that help them to be re elected like X42 was in 1996.

Here is the Google Search on HW, the ChiCom front company. There are over 24,000 hits on the activities of this red front outfit!

Spend a little time to get to know a friend and buddy of X42: (Link to ChiCom front company, Hutchinson/Whampoa trying to buy GX!)

CiFi and her hubby really love the ChiComs. The ChiComs have made ChiFi and her hubby billionaires during the X42's years of selling out to the ChiComs!

Boxer never met an enemy of America that she didn't fall in full lust/love for!

Hutchinson-Whampoa is a publicly owned and traded company. If you want to buy shares on the NYSE the ADR is HUWHY. It was an Eglish company until one of the richest men in the world, Li Ka Sheng (sp?) bought it. The principal business was originally ship containers. Li turned the company around, invested capital and it is now highly successful. If you want to worry they also own resorts some of which are less than 90 miles from our shores. Li Ka Sheng and Hutchinson are located in Hong Kong. Li began making money off of Hong Kong real estate 30 years ago and owns banks, etc.

As far as the canal issue, there aren't any Chinese working there. All the company has done is invest 300 million or more modernizing the harbors at both ends. As far as national security on the canal --the last time I went through (2 years ago) the canal was still narrow and far to narrow to float a modern aircraft carrier. Further, the Chinese depend on the regional security from the government of Panama and the US government.

I don't know how the idea came the Peoples Republic of China bought either the Panama Canal or Global Crossing. The PRC may own stock, but I doubt it. Li has characteristically, like all moguls, courted both the Chinese and US governments. In that respect he is no differant than David Winnick paying of the head of the DNC and X41 with cheap stock.

IMHO this all nonsense. HUWHY already owed Asian Crossing with Global Crossing. They also have lent money and bought stock in global crossing. I have no opinion as to the national security interest of the optic cable business, but I do note that there is now a glut.
