“Underground Great Wall” of China?

As I read this article I got to thinking. We do have alot of valuable resources in this country and alot of undeveloped land. What would stop the Chinese or anyone else for that matter from launching an EMP type attack and then waiting a few years to walk in and take over?





Led by their hard-charging professor, a former top Pentagon official, they have translated hundreds of documents, combed through satellite imagery, obtained restricted Chinese military documents and waded through hundreds of gigabytes of online data.


The result of their effort? The largest body of public knowledge about thousands of miles of tunnels dug by the Second Artillery Corps, a secretive branch of the Chinese military in charge of protecting and deploying its ballistic missiles and nuclear warheads.


"NOTHING TO SEE HERE"


 Gregory Kulacki, a China nuclear analyst at the Union of Concerned Scientists, publicly condemned Karber’s report at a recent lecture in Washington. In an interview afterward, he called the 3,000 figure “ridiculous” and said the study’s methodology — especially its inclusion of posts from Chinese bloggers — was “incompetent and lazy.”


because we all trust "scientists"


H/T to "ACE"

Weird Desert Stuff in China Via Google Earth.... check it out.....

This is crazy. New photos have appeared in Google Maps showing unidentified titanic structures in the middle of the Chinese desert. The first one is an intricate network of what appears to be huge metallic stripes. Is this a military experiment?

Why Is China Building These Gigantic Structures In the Middle of the Desert?

I just came across this in a comment on another blog.....

Seriously WTF???


SHANGHAI, China -- Working around the clock, China's biggest heavy machinery maker put the final touches Monday on sections of the new east span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge.

outsourced manufacturing of the main parts of the bridge to Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co to save $400 million on labor and materials costs. Zhenhua is hoping success in the $6.3 billion project will clinch its reputation as a top-notch builder able to meet the most stringent safety and quality specifications.


"UNREAL"

FU$K THIS......and FU$K CHINA......

I have been working on a project for one of my medical device manufactures since March of 2008.

After taking over from a previous supplier that was delivering sub par quality parts, we really did a great job

of modifying and producing a much better product. They are labor intensive and require alot of purchased

parts and lead time to produce. Last Fiscal year this project was 15% of gross business for us.

Even with all the better changes we made, we have kept our price the same and have NOT had an increase.

I have absorbed some of the cost increases due to the fact that we streamlined the production methods.

The customer purchases the items on a quarterly basis, so I check in with them after we send the

last shipment on an existing PO.

I sent a quick email to my inside guy asking about the possible quantities that they would need.

THIS is what I got back.in an email:

J-------,

45 a quarter

Be careful long term as engineering is working on a cost down version from China.


Gee Thanks.... no heads up, no asking for our input, no letting us know this is going to go to China?????

I really really do appreciate that......  

( I'm not mad at my inside guy,  just the message)............
