Again? No Bush wouldn't allow it, would he?

[Blood of Tyrants]

No problem. I'm sure that China would still export critical smart bomb parts to us if we went to war with them, wouldn't they?

[HighRoadToChina]

We need to somehow FReep this company. Any suggestions?

If you want off my ChiCom No. 1 list, FRemail me.

[JoeFromSidney]

An important point missed here. Not only is this technology going to China, but the capability to produce these things will no longer exist in the US. We'll have to buy them from China.

I bet post #5 was something along the lines of;

Freep em, hell, we ought to bomb them!

If not, it should have been.

BUMP for later reading! Thanks!

All the bad guys and dictators around the world should get used to seeing "made in china" label on metal fragments that have taken out their WMD.

[HighRoadToChina]

It is not Free Trade but Slave Trade with Communist China.

[B4Ranch]

"Made in China" with American technology!

Letter Message

Our new powder plant in Tianjin, China significantly improves our capacity to serve the rapidly expanding market for bonded Neodymium magnets. The ability to produce our alloys and powders in China, close to the source of raw materials, should ensure our cost-effectiveness for years to come.

Sincerely,

Harry Zhang
Chairman of the Board
Magnequench, Inc.

Archibald Cox, Jr.
President & CEO
Magnequench, Inc.

The factory uses rare earths to produce sintered neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets that have many industrial applications but are essential to the servos critical to precision-guided munitions.

You don't expect a confession, do you?

[Jeff Head]

The company is producing critical parts for the U.S. Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) project, more widely known as smart bombs, raising heavy security issues related to the transfer of military technology to the PRC.

Magnequench Inc. had been purchased in 1995 by a consortium that included the China-based San Huan New Materials and Hi-Tech Co., created and at least partially owned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.

The Magnequench plant in Anderson transforms neodymium, iron and boron into powder using a unique patented process that produces the exotic rare-earth magnets. Following the buyout in 1995, the production line at Anderson was "duplicated in China" at a facility built by the PRC company. According to South, after the company "made sure that it worked, they shut down" the Anderson facility. South says he suspects the buyout was about getting the technology, adding, "I believe the Chinese entity wanted to shut the plant down from the beginning. They are rapidly pursuing this technology."

No ... you think?

This insanity has to stop ... or the fiction in stories like Dragon's Fury will turn into deadly reality. It may do so anyway at this point.

This is happening now, not 4 years ago, and it sounds like a damned broken record!
