Entering the NavyI was raised in a middle class home. My father was an engineer, my mother a teacher. My brother and I were taught ‘manners,’ civility and respect for our elders and contemporaries. Nobody, in our home raised their voices, made threats, or used foul language. - Well, except for my father who swore profusely in German and sometimes a little French? Exchanges between us were calm and reasoned even if there were some underlying conflict. These practices were reciprocal; you gave respect and received respect in return. We were ‘civilized’ and this was a standard that humans valued. Yes, of course, I’d heard anger and foul language from others occasionally. I generally perceived it as a lapse of decorum that would probably require an embarrassed apology later on.As I grew up through the Second World War and after I watched all the many War Movies that came out during this time, obviously I became a great John Wayne Fan. These movies taught me a lot at that time. So when I turned 18, I enlisted and never had any unusual expectations or problems. I had seen it all in those movies and was ready. It is hard to believe in these WW II rationing times, but I grew up hungry. It didn't mean that I went without food but damn near close to it. No spare food. No seconds, occasionally no firsts, if you didn’t “like” what was served. There were NO sodas in the refrigerator ever. I never ate in a restaurant. I gained 20 pounds in my Navy hitch. Not because I was deprived of food, and exercise before the navy. I wrestled, played football and ran track all through school and was in great shape. I was young, healthy; in good shape (what people at home called work strong) I was 5′ 10″, 145 pounds. I didn’t find any of the training to be overly difficult. But because of my diet and navy “exercise program”. Both were top notch. My daily breakfast consisted of 2 cooked eggs, bacon, toast and whatever else I could slam down in 3 to 5 minutes…usually a bunch of sausage, orange juice, and water.When I finally made up my 18-year old mind that I wanted to go - world travel high adventure Navy vs. the - kick ass and take names - Marine Corps (I loved their pride and discipline), I stopped running every morning and relaxed the rest of the summer because a couple of former Marines told me that Navy Basic Training would be a ‘piece of cake’ compared to Marine Basic. That was a lie as it turned out. I was 5'11 and about 155 pounds, and figured I was fit enough to saunter through Navy Boot Camp with minimum effort.After graduating from high school, working 80 hours a week at two different jobs, with restless feet, needing adventure and wanting to see the world, I joined the Navy. This proved to be an exciting life, whereupon I experienced thousands of thrills, sailed many seas and oceans, including the waters of the north and south the Atlantic, Indian Oceans, and the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Red, Arabian Seas, and Mexican and Persian Gulfs. I have been to countless exotic ports, and sailed thru hurricanes, severe storms and experienced many high seas’ adventures. My ship was a warship, a Destroyer, the fighting backbone of the US Navy and my shipmates were from all over the United States, particularly the South. I loved the Navy life and still revere those wonderful years to this day. Being at sea for three years gave me the opportunity to indulge in one special pursuit; I collect destinations. Shortly after joining the regular navy I had the realization that I was going to succeed or fail based on my own merits. I know this might not seem to be too mind-blowing, but when you are an 18-year-old kid who always had their parents in the background in case you screwed up, this is a big deal. I’ve always had wanderlust. It started as a child when I developed a keen interest in the Roman Empire and the mythology of the Knights of the Round Table. Now after many years of traveling, I still experience the excitement of discovery whenever I visit a new place.I took the Navy Aptitude Tests (AVAB) - a "general aptitude" test. While some tests are looking to see what you already know, the purpose of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is to test your ability to learn. In other words, it's more about your ability to learn and process new information than what you know. I scored well here, getting a score of 123, which put me in the top 1% of all Navy personnel; the personnel people said I could have any job I wanted. Loving a challenge, I said, "Give me the toughest job you have!" The recruiter smiled said that was Fire Control aka Weapons and I was in.Boot CampI went to Boot Camp at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center located on the western shore of Lake Michigan. We took the Chicago & Northwestern 400 from Milwaukee to Chicago. The train we got on was an old day coach with hard seats and no heat. Full of patriotism and vim and vinegar, we sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “Anchors Away” as the train chugged its way to Chicago. Once in Chicago, we transferred to the North Shore commuter train and finally a bus to Great Lakes. I arrived at Great Lakes on July 9th 1955. When the train arrived in Great Lakes, we were met by a tall and muscled First Class Petty Officer covered with tattoos and one of the foulest mouth people I ever saw. "Come on you Fucking Bastards and get your Asses on this Fucking Bus because you Asses are mining now."Of course we followed his directions and listened to his foul cursing as long as it took to get to the Great Lakes naval mustering area. You had ten seconds to get off the bus and nine were gone. You piled off the bus under a barrage of yelling at you! About 45 of us got off the bus finding a set of yellow foot prints to stand on while the DIs are coming down on you and everyone else. Name-calling, put downs, and they were allowed to beat your ass. You even look at them cross-eyed, smirked you had three or four on you like white on rice. People that tell you they laughed at the DIs or challenged them are lying and full of shit. Yeah some tried and found a DI or DIs beating their ass. These DIs were senior NCOs that had fought in WW II from the Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Midway and Leyte Gulf. Act up and if the DIs didn’t get you, there was a blanket party waiting for you, given to you by your platoon.In the 1950s you had to be to be in reasonably good shape (e.g., muscular and fit) to join the US Military? You don’t have to be an athlete, but if you must, think middle distance runner, not weightlifter. Muscular and aerobic endurance are more important than sprint speed and muscular strength. Flexibility is important too. If you're flexible, then you're less likely to injure yourself. The two most important attributes that you have to improve are willpower and self-confidence. Minimum standards: Push up - 85; sit ups - 71; do a two mile run. I was in terrific shape. I had a heavy bag and a speed bag in my basement and worked out every day doing 100 pushups and 200 sit-ups.As a recruit you're in unfamiliar territory, shaved bald, stuck in line with strangers, naturally timid and probably worried about what you have gotten yourself into. You have no idea what's next, assholes keep yelling you at, you’re exhausted, up to this point your completely alone and vulnerable, life is really sucking by the time forming ends. We finished the processing with the expected yelling and harassment at about 0300 (3:00 AM) and were in our barracks with lights out. One of my fellow inductees speculated that we would get to sleep in, since we finished so late. I was only 18, but knew better. Reveille was at 0400 and sure enough, lights were on, the drill sergeants were beating on garbage cans and we were up and running. That was the beginning of my love affair with the US Navy.Navy Boot Camp was totally the opposite of what I expected. Our Drill Instructor (DI) was a real hard ass. He ran us hard, and was up our ass every chance he got. We could see he was a bit ‘extra’ compared to the other DIs (and I'll point out that this was the 50s, when even Air Force instructors were a bit harder than those of today (my opinion). Our Drill Instructor was a muscled and scarred WW II veteran from the Pacific battles. He could destroy you on the 2-mile run and could max the other PT. events, but mostly, he was just a very quiet professional hard ass who did his job well. We had four platoons. Only one of the platoons (mine) had a dude who acted like the movies’ drill sergeants where he screamed and yelled and acted like a tough guy. What blew my mind was the diversity of individuals I was training/working with. There were people from all over the country and from every walk of life. As a lover of sociology and a budding therapist, this experience meeting so many different types of people was the best adventure I’d ever had. I’d do it all over in a minute. You become brothers. There were many trainees that were young (like myself) that were not physically fit. The number of trainees that lacked either education, or just no common sense. Especially the inability to keep their mouth shut, and their ears open and learn what a rhetorical question was.When a Drill Sgt. asks, “Do I look like a fucking idiot”? You don’t answer. We also had a few individuals who were never taught how to take a shower, or they had an aversion to soap. To be honest, I was surprised by how many dumb or illogical people I saw during basic training. Somehow, I’ve never met any of these people during high school or college. But all of a sudden, bam! Dumb people around me everywhere. In fairness, this is probably due to the increased pressure from the drill Petty Officers screaming at you and imposing unfamiliar structure and rules that you still don’t clearly understand. After I left basic training, all of a sudden those dumb people disappeared with little to no trace. It’s funny how pressure will make you act so God knows how other people perceived me. But yeah. You get to see the true nature of people under pressure. Most of them act extremely stupid when they are nervous and have to make a decision on a split second notice. This probably contributes significantly to stupid military mistakes you hear about in the news. When the pressure is off, they tend to get a lot smarter. And I found that if we were all working for the same goal, differences would become less and less important.On day one the drill instructor asked who thought they were tough and could kick his ass and 3 maggots raised their hands. So the DI, he was about 5' 8 and 150 lbs., picked the biggest of the 3, about 6'4 230 lbs. He asked the guy if he was ready. He said yeah then he was down. DI looked at him while hue was catching his breath and asked next. No takers. I guess today a DI can't strike a recruit. He wasn't supposed to then either but they did. Tripping and other known personnel hazards were frequent. In fact a Springfield rifle butt to the side of my head was a result of a faulty rifle (right shoulder arms instead of left. My rifle showed me where my left side was). Also if someone were a real screw up the DI would suggest a blanket party. Bar of soap in a sock about 2 am. Throw a blanket over his head then beat the shit out of him with the sock.After observing the recruits for a few days, the Drill Instructors selected "recruit leaders," known as "Recruit Petty Officers" in various areas of responsibility. The RDC will select those recruits who, during the first few days showed that they were "squared away." I guess I looked squared away and they picked me as one. Recruit Petty Officers are charged with preserving good order, discipline, and security within their respective division. The Recruit Petty Officer to the chain of command for disposition will report any violation of good order, discipline and security. It was weeks of a very tightly controlled environment. You had to follow orders exactly. You had to march everywhere. You had to fold your clothes very precisely, and if you failed to do so, you could be punished. You had to say “Sir” to just about everyone who wasn’t a fellow recruit, and salute him or her too—even enlisted Company Commanders.I think what blew me away, and it happened almost immediately, was how fleeting friendships would be. On the first night I met this guy that I had a lot in common with and we vowed to watch each other's back and even try to get into the same field. We made plans about a long friendship. Thing is, I didn’t ask more than his first name and the same for him. The next day we got our haircuts and issued our uniforms then went back to the dorm to put the stuff away. Right inside the door to the dorm was a full-length mirror and as I passed it, I stopped and I didn’t recognize myself. I looked like everyone else. I never did see that guy again. I probably wouldn’t have recognized him if he was right next to me. That was the biggest bummer of being in the service. Sometimes you’re with friends almost 24 hours. You become closer than any brother.The physical side of the training was easy if you were in any kind of shape at all. The mental side was childish and petty. What stood out was how hard the physical side was for some, and how hard the mental side was for others. There were kids with me that basic was the first time they had running water at their disposal. The first time they had all the food they could eat. That ready access to a shower, or hand washing, or food was such a change that they accepted any abuse or game for the privilege was saddening. There were indoctrinated almost instantly. There were kids that had no clue what they were in for. That a single pushup was a killer, so basic was pure hell for them. Intelligence was frowned on. All that concentrated stupid. Seriously, you don’t have your head on a swivel? Are you mental? 17–19 year old males are some of the most clueless people on the planet. “What do you mean you blew off the Safety lecture? That shit can KILL you, idiot! Pay attention!”You do a lot of stuff that seems dumb in basic, but it’s not. Marching has no direct military value anymore, but it’s a good way to get people to function as group, and good test of situational awareness. Most people will never go so hard on a workout as to realize their limits unless someone makes them, so the physical training is good. The draconian group punishments for tiny infractions develop esprit de corps. The insane, nitpicking attention to detail, like finding a 1/4″ long thread on a single uniform out of 200, teaches people to follow instructions precisely and obediently even if they don’t make sense to them. It also teaches you to constantly check on the person next to you, and make sure he’s doing his job right because it’s your ass if he’s not. That’s all good military training.I didn’t enjoy any of those things, but they make perfect sense. The thing that was just a huge waste of everyone’s time was the screaming. But I guess the topper was inside the old Navy barracks … the Head area (“bathroom” for civilians). The crappers/toilets had no walls or partitions around them … to the left of you and toilets in front of you … no concealment partitions to hide the whole process of … you know. Now come on Big Army … can’t afford a couple stalls? And maybe the second thing that blew me mind was to wake up early in the morning before the sun came up … there was the hustle and bustle of a whole boot camp waking up … the smell of breakfast being cooked in the Mess Halls to feed that Navy. And there in Great Lakes Illinois, the morning glory of a navy camp coming to life … the smell of bacon … it was somewhat holy to me … ancient … a Civil War morning, full of focus, sacrifice and a lot of history … it made you sad for all the civilians who would never know this.Another thing . . . you never think of your parents as particularly smart growing up but as time goes by you stubbornly figure this out and eventually get with the program. I guess you think they know everything then when you start your education. Then after a while you want to go your own way but after high school you come full circle. You learn things and make your mistakes. But Dad always knew. So he said, don’t stick out, blend in. Great advice. I also knew not to poke a sleeping bear with a stick. When I got noticed our Chief asked where I was from. He detected I had some schooling so he left me alone for the most part. The only trouble I had was my locker and marching and 16-count manual of arms with the 1903 bolt action Enfield WWI.The organization and attention to detail that is taught during training. It really did not hit home for me, as to why there is the right way, the wrong way and the Navy way. The right way and the wrong way apply to civilians, the Navy way applies to the sailor. Attention to detail is a must just due to the fact of the dangerous weapons and explosives that we may come in contact with, the lives of you and your fellow sailors depends on your attention to detail, making sure that your weapon is on safe, that explosives are stored and carried safely. Going back to the beginning, the attention to detail teaching begins by learning to follow instructions as you are being taught to march, stand at attention, parade rest and at ease. Setting up your wall locker, making your bunk.All of the little meticulous details that goes into soldiering. From the way your bed is made, to the different stances during drill and ceremony, and even the proper way to address civilians vs. other military personnel. You are taught all of these things during basic and learn more along the way once you get to your unit. It was just a basic training thing but even the way we ate was drilled into us. Took awhile to shake that habit. We ate with our feet together, the non-eating hand on the table, head down, and only using a spoon since it was faster. That’s four small details for one action!Probably the shear stress in boot camp. We had one guy die or break his back on the obstacle course. He was gray and apparently not breathing. The obstacle course instructors were kicking him to get up. Me and a couple of guys stopped them from kicking him. Once they took him away they resumed the course with me being the first in line. Go figure! The only thing that saved me from them was if there were to be an inquiry, they would have fared worse than us. By the way, I made it through but we all noted what not to do.They wouldn’t say what happened to him of course. We never saw or heard from him again. We had a couple of guys try to commit suicide and one guy goes AWOL. That was my first couple of weeks into my four-year commitment. Ugh! I remember the smell particular to the red bouffant on one of the ladies working in the naval base store. The grits, which are not a dietary mainstay in Wisconsin, the bacon you could smell cooking all the way downs the hill on the block. So what blew my mind in the military was the awesome amount and variety of food there. Some I had not ever seen before. So, yea, money, girls, guns, free food and travel. What's there not to like I asked my self? Dang, these idiots are going to pay me a few hundred a month. I would do it for room, board and some acquired skills. It was like playing a game since growing up on a farm was slave labor and the pay was…. oh yea, an ass kicking if the work didn't get completed.Discipline usually consisted of exercise routines, and a lot of yelling in your face. I once got in big trouble when I started nodding off while I was on watch. The punishment was what they called a “mini-Mo-torn”. Short for “mini-motivator” They took you out in front of the building with a few other fuck-ups who were being punished, with a “piece” (a non-functioning rifle that you exercised with), and exercised the hell out of you for a half hour—and they made it hard. If you fucked up too bad, you could get set back in a company that was earlier in their training. So you could be in your seventh week, with one week to go, and get kicked out of your company and put in a company that was only in their third week. All your movements were controlled, there was no privacy whatsoever, even the toilet stalls didn’t have doors, you showered together, slept all in one big room together on bunk beds—one pillow, one sheet, one military blanket. The exercise was intensive, and there was running and calisthenics every morning. Remember—this is the bad stuff only—there were also good friendships made, lots of good memories, and some good times here and there. I will never forget it.After Fire Control a school, I was assigned duty on a WW II Sumner Class Destroyer and loved it . . . the weapons, sea duty, the ports and the guys who were my friends. What blew my mind was when I got a chance to ride on the military aircraft. C5 Galaxy, C130, Blackhawk and Chinook. I always saw these aircraft growing up as a kid (I always had a fascination for aircraft). Another one that really blew my mind was when I got to tour the DMZ. I saw a documentary on it when I was probably in my mid to late teens. Years later I was stationed in Korea and my unit sent us on a tour. It was pretty fascinating to actually be there.The actual firepower of the military cannot be understood from the outside. From the main gun on the M1 shooting on the move “remembering its target”; a regiment of artillery shooting in unison at a single target, a battery of artillery “spelling its name in the sky” with ileum rounds; a 240G at full auto; a machine gun that shoots grenades… shooting; a fast mover dropping on a target just after artillery has been lifted then dash 2 dropping an even more accurate payload; the accuracy of the average Marine shooting prone in rapid fire.Once I did a tour on the Roosevelt, a fast attack carrier. There was a young sailor there, we called him Gator, and to this day I do not know his real name. He took a shine to me, and had anew lease on life, having recently become sober. He took me out on the flight line the first time. We did the walk around he showed me all the danger zones on the A-7E aircraft. The pilot came up, crawled into the cockpit and gator took me through my first launch sequence. After we were done and the bird turned to final check, gator grabbed me and said, ‘Get down!” we squatted down, and the jet wash from that aircraft flowed over us, and I GOT CHILLS. It was right then that i knew all i wanted to be was a plane captain.It was a little scary, but I also liked it. I had control. I had responsibilities. I was about to better myself and take it as far as I possibly could. I still feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity. Fast-forward 3 years. I am now the ship leading Fire Control petty officer and from them on I became the leader the men. At the end of my tour the Gun Boss was giving me the required please reenlist blab, blab, bla speech. I look right at him and said, sir no disrespect but Id rather have dental work done via my rectum than spend another second on this rusted out relic. I was on the USS Borie DD 704, a WW II Destroyer, the last ship Kamikazied in WW II during the Okinawa Campaign, and sailing the “Don’t tread on me flag” complete with bent and rusted hull and twisted decks. A real looker indeed. At 22 I considered myself quite possibly the smartest sob to walk planet earth.Not reenlisting would come to prove different. Every July 17th, I am reminded of my epic piss poor decision to not reenlist. All said and done, it was a blast. 1955 - 1959.The “Wild Thing” aspect of my personality started in the Navy but would fill my life for years to come with great experiences and personal relationships. In the Navy, rank came quickly and I became the leading petty officer of the electronic weapons “Fox” Division. I served in the 1950's era Navy that consisted of the same ships that helped win World War II for the United States. Just ten years ago, these ships fought in many famous and decisive naval campaigns, battles like Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Midway, Leyte Gulf and Okinawa. They were carriers, cruisers, destroyers and submarines that served in hundreds of legendary engagements and now were serving as the backbone of America’s fleet confronting the Soviet Empire. They would soon be replaced with much larger and more technologically advanced ships, many using nuclear power, all with advanced weapon systems, including long range missiles and homing torpedoes. Starting in the 1950s, the United States and Soviet Union were in a state of near‑war. The differences between them were geopolitically profound. The United States was afraid that the Soviets would seize Western Europe in an attack in order to change the global balance of power. Given that the balance of power ran against the Soviet Union, it was seen as possible that they would try to rectify it by war.The Cold War to us was about enduring weeks of sea duty with Carrier Battle Groups involving countless anti submarine, carrier flight operations, and gunfire missions. We were practicing for the real thing, should such a terrible event occur with the Soviets, we would be ready. The tedium was relieved when, at random intervals, our Destroyer squadron or one of our hunter killer operations would pick up a Soviet submarine and we would rush off to stalk them - or sink them if they got close to our Carrier Battle Groups or Cruiser formations. Then the exhilaration of the chase and using our acquired expertise to hunt and kill submarines would be engaged. It was a grand game of Cat and Mouse that we played with the Soviets and they played with us. Sometimes, they would take the game right to the edge, just before we would then drop depth charges and shoot homing torpedoes at them, but they always backed off just before the wrath of our weapons would destroy them

American companies are often forced to have a joint venture partner to sell products or services to Chinese people. That’s not really fair. Companies might prefer to have full control and reap the full economic benefits of people in China using their products or services.Chinese companies have a history of expropriating intellectual property. [1]“Just under one-third of CFOs of North America-based companies on the CNBC Global CFO Council say Chinese firms have stolen from them at some point during the past decade. … One in five North American-based corporations on the CNBC Global CFO Council says Chinese companies have stolen their intellectual property within the last year.”[2]The joint venture setup has allowed for intellectual property transfers, as it allows Chinese companies to see in detail how the American company operates.Patent laws can favor local companies who get patents that American companies have gotten all over the world in many other countries. To put it another way, China’s system of justice is arguably biased against Western companies, with respect to patents and copyrights.Sometimes Chinese companies license technologies and then just steal the intellectual property.An example there is American Superconductor, whose shares plummeted after a Chinese companies just decided to stop paying them royalties and allegedly just kept using the intellectual property.China has a history of allegedly trying to hack American companies to obtain their trade secrets as well as gaining military/security secrets about the U.S. To be clear, it’s not just American companies, as a recent article on China hacking “Norway's Visma to steal client secrets.”[3]China allegedly makes an effort to illegally gain access to proprietary technology.An example there was the effort to steal intellectual property from Dow and Monsanto. [4][5]Sometimes it plants spies in American who send stolen IP and technology to China. An effort to steal from Apple is one example.[6]A more recent example comes from the indictment of Huawei and all the technology that it has allegedly stolen. [7]Huawei has a long history of theft, and as the WSJ put it, “An early Huawei router design was shown to have been filched from Cisco, right down to copying the typos in the instruction manual.”[8] Huawei also allegedly tried to bribe Apple Watch suppliers into giving away trade secrets in exchange for large orders.[9]Another recent example comes from an attempt to see intellectual property from a Tennessee chemical company.[10]China allegedly stole Dupont’s “world-leading proprietary multi-stage process for producing titanium dioxide. “[11]There was an effort to steal Motorola’s cellular technology.[12]Huawei stole technology from T-mobile and was found guilty in court.[13]“In 2015, the federal government charged six Chinese citizens with stealing wireless communications technology from two Silicon Valley microchip makers, Avago and Skyworks, and launching their own company to sell that technology in China.”[14]“engineer Allen Ho was sentenced to two years in prison for providing nuclear energy technology information to China’s state-owned China General Nuclear Power Company (CGNPC)”[15]“Chinese spy Xu Jiaqiang stole data storage technology from a US storage technology company.”[16]“five members of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China … hacked … aluminum producer Alcoa, nuclear power plant producer Westinghouse, solar cell manufacturer SolarWorld, Allegheny Technologies Inc., and labor union United Steel Workers. SolarWorld said that a key proprietary technology for making solar cells more efficient was stolen in this hack and turned over to a Chinese competitor.”[17]“ Solid Oak Software of California announced that parts of China’s Green Dam-Youth Escort software, which China required be loaded onto every PC sold in China to control access to pornography and other sites deemed unsuitable by the government was actually stolen directly from Solid Oak source code.”[18]Tesla alleged that one of its engineers stole source code that helped enable self-driving cars and delivered that stolen code directly to a Chinese company.[19]China tried for years to steal technology used by ASML for semiconductor manufacturing.[20]China allegedly tried to steal memory technology from Micron.[21]There may be many other examples where China was successful and just wasn’t caught.Some argue that this theft results in the loss of 100s of billions of dollars per year.[22]An FBI survey of 165 large companies found that half were regularly dealing with Chinese IP espionage efforts.[23]One recent example comes from a Phillips 66 where an Chinese insider there downloaded $1 billion worth of trade secrets with the intent to transfer them to a Chinese company.[24]China has large import tariffs on many products, including cars at 25%.China has soft non-tariff barriers that prevent other goods from being imported. For example, it can claim that there are safety issues or other issues that preclude something from being imported, even if those claims are false.After Canada detained a Huawei executive, China claimed that its Canola products were infested with pests and should not be imported. Canada denied these claims.[25]China works to build up its domestic companies and sometimes dump products or sell at very low prices in an effort to bankrupt foreign competitors outside of China.Their steel companies were found to be guilty of this and retaliatory tariffs were applied in 2016. Even before the retaliation, this approach from the Chinese had caused damage.China’s shipbuilders increased supply much more than the market demanded with negative consequences for shipbuilders.China actively works to boost local companies and undermine foreign competitors in China.One example is boosting Baidu at the expense of Google in China.Another is claiming that the Apple iPhone 6 was created using IP stolen from a Chinese firm, when that firm may have simply gotten patents in China that Apple already had internationally in other countries.China shut down iBooks and iTunes movies.[26]China regulatory concerns prevented Netflix from entering the Chinese market, saying “The regulatory environment for foreign digital content services in China has become challenging."[27]Chinese businesses are directly told or strongly encouraged to buy local — even if it is unfavorable in the short term. This helps local companies get stronger over time The Chinese government directly controls a number of businesses and strongly influences many others.China organized a boycott against Samsung to hurt that competitor after a dispute with Korea. Samsung has never recovered. Other such boycotts have been organized.Other examples include the blocking of Netflix, Facebook, Pinterest, Reddit, Alphabet’s Youtube, and many other American sites and firms. “Political reasons” are cited in these blocks but they are still blocks.China subsidizes many companies across many industries in China, giving Chinese companies an unfair advantage. “Subsidies include free to low-cost loans, subsidies to energy (coal, electricity, natural gas, heavy oil) and to key inputs, land and technology.”[28]China had a history of currency manipulation. For a while many thought its currency was too weak, which boosted exports in the past and hurt foreign competitors. Now many believe that its currency will fall because government policies and economic conditions there will lead to capital flight. Of course if it does fall Chinese exporters would benefit. So first its currency was artificially weakened via a fixed exchange rate that was set by the government, and now it’s being weakened by economic conditions and government policies in China that are leading to capital flight.Some prominent Chinese companies have a history of using bribes to get business deals — and this hurts Western companies who would otherwise get the business. For example, “In the last 12 years, Huawei and its smaller Chinese rival ZTE have been ‘investigated or found guilty of corruption’ in as many as 21 countries, according to Andy Keiser, a former House Intelligence Committee professional staffer.”[29]China also uses import quotas in some industries. For example, China had “limited the annual number of foreign film exports to China to 34 and the share of revenue payable to foreign-rights holders to 25 percent of gross box office.”[30]China has exported unsafe products without caring about the consequences.China has allegedly not cracked down on production of fentanyl, a harmful drug which it exports to the U.S. because it allegedly cares about profits more than the health of Americans. The U.S. does its best to crack down on the production of illegal drugs.[31] Allegedly, China has no domestic fentanyl problem because it does crack down on domestic distribution. The fentanyl epidemic is killing Americans and is extremely costly to combat.China has attempted to illegally export pork amid their swine fever outbreak. If this pork infected U.S. pork, it would be horrible for the U.S.[32]China encourages U.S. citizens to invest in its companies, but because of capital controls Chinese citizens do not have the comparable freedom to invest in U.S. companies. Further there are widespread allegations of Chinese companies trying to defraud U.S. investors. In fact, a movie called The China Hustle was made partly because of this fraud.[33] [34] [35][36] Some allege that new fraudulent techniques are being used as well that are not yet widely understood.[37] Further China does not have the same audit and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies do, which provides investors less protection from fraud.“While the PCAOB regularly inspects audits of U.S.-listed firms, Beijing consistently challenges their efforts. Chinese law requires that financial records remain in China, and Beijing restricts access to accounting information, citing national security and state secrecy.”[38]China allegedly has fewer environmental protections than U.S. producers, which lowers the cost of its goods. For example, they allegedly emit large amounts of CFCs which hurt the ozone layer.[39]China does other things that normally would incur economic sanctions including tariffs.The U.S. has a track record of imposing economic sanctions on countries for human rights violations, and many such violations are alleged in China. For example, China allegedly detains ethnic populations in concentration camps and torture has been reported inside these camps.[40] Slave labor has also been reported in these camps. [41]Allegedly millions of people have been detained in these concentration camps. The camps allegedly are mostly Muslims, but there are allegations that some Christians have been detained as well. There are allegations that some dissidents in concentration camps have had their organs taken from them in a massive organ harvesting operation.[42]China hacked U.S. government servers[43] to spy on U.S. government employees.[44] Peacetime allies should not act this way towards each other.China has detained foreign nationals for indefinite periods of time to protest things it does not like, claiming they have “disappeared”. This is not OK. For example, China has allegedly detained Canadian businessmen to retaliate when a Chinese executive was accused of an actual crime.[45] [46]China is allegedly trying to influence political outcomes in multiple countries, including Australia[47], Canada[48], New Zealand[49] , Taiwan[50] , the Philippines[51] , and other countries. Beyond elections it tries to silence critics in other countries[52][53] [54] and promotes propaganda in social media as well[55].China plans to manipulate Taiwan’s politics to eventually elect leaders who will eventually cede Taiwan’s sovereignty and make Taiwan become part of China.‘“If China succeeds in returning the Beijing-sympathetic Nationalist Party (KMT) to power, that could be the tipping point after which Taiwan can never again exert its own sovereignty.” In other words, a Chinese military invasion is no longer the scenario Taiwanese fear most. China’s strategy to take over Taiwan is focused now on the hybrid warfare tactics authoritarian regimes increasingly deploy in free societies. Pro-Beijing interests have bought up a huge portion of Taiwanese media and coordinate with Beijing to spread propaganda and fake news and manipulate social media.’[56]China has loaned large amounts of money to companies that own ports, knowing that it will be able to take them over in the event of a default and use the ports for military purposes. One of these ports is in Sri Lanka. Another is in the Caribbean. [57] [58]Politicians in these countries are desperate enough for money that they will accept unfavorable terms that pushes financial pain into the future and ultimately makes things worse. There are additional allegations that a combination of bribes and influence operations have enabled China to take control of foreign assets at a reduced cost.[59]China is actively planning for Naval conflict with the U.S. in the South China sea.“China’s deployment of a large fleet of vessels to the Philippines-held Thitu Island in the South China Sea is aimed at blocking the country’s construction of military facilities on the disputed island in the Spratly chain because it is concerned that the United States will be able to use such facilities,”[60]China has threatened to invade Taiwan at some point and has conducted military exercises to support that threat.China is not doing enough to stop North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. North Korea has the potential to become a terrorist regime, and China may effectively act as a terrorist enabler there. Specifically, China enables the regime by allowing goods and services to flow to it[61], instead of shutting off North Korea entirely as the U.S. and much of the rest of the world would prefer.China helps enable Venezuela’s dictator to stay in power, thus hurting the people of that country.[62]China exports technologies that allow authoritarian governments to wall off portions of the internet and subvert freedom of speech by disallowing certain types of content to be posted online. [63]Because the U.S. has started to fight back against China, China has begun to lobby other countries to distance themselves from the U.S."It has encouraged the Philippines to distance itself from the United States, it has supported South Korea's efforts to take a softer line toward North Korea, and it has backed Japan's stance against American protectionism"[64] [65]If China is costing U.S. companies 100s of billions from some of the above efforts, then some sort of retaliatory tariff makes sense to compensate for that. The tariff could address both past actions and ongoing behavior. The tariff should be levied against goods made in China or against goods that contain contain components that were manufactured in China.Other countries have labor costs on par with China, and I’d be much happier for the U.S. to work with countries that compete fairly.To be clear, there is some flexibility with respect to this response. The U.S. may choose to target specific industries instead of all Chinese imports — a variety of responses are possible.When Russia was aggressive in Crimea, it was sanctioned by the international community. Therefore, another option would be to work together with other countries and apply economic sanctions on China. That may seem unrealistic and many other countries may prefer not to do that, but if I were President, I’d at least try to talk to other countries about this.As a result of increasing urban labor costs, China is no longer the low cost provider of labor and consequently many products can be manufactured more cheaply outside of China. The result is that for many products, tariffs simply shift manufacturing from China into other locations with minimal impact to the U.S. consumer. The result is that the U.S. helps build up countries that are good actors while avoiding funding many of China’s problematic activities. If the tariffs are targeted correctly the impact to the U.S. economy can be minimized.China has a history of promising that it will reform and then not following through. Tariffs could be put in place indefinitely and then if it becomes clear that China has made the necessary reforms and the tariffs have provided sufficient compensation for past actions, then they could be lifted.Footnotes[1] The Great Brain Robbery[2] 1 in 5 corporations say China has stolen their IP within the last year: CNBC CFO survey[3] China hacked Norway's Visma to steal client secrets: investigators[4] Chinese National Pleads Guilty to Conspiring to Steal Trade Secrets[5] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[6] Second China-Bound Apple Car Worker Charged With Data Theft[7] The U.S. Case Against Huawei[8] Opinion | U.S. Can Destroy Huawei[9] Report claims Huawei tried to copy Apple Watch heart rate sensor by asking Apple supplier to share its secrets[10] Chinese-born U.S. Citizen Charged with Stealing Trade Secrets [11] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[12] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[13] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[14] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[15] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[16] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[17] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[18] Top Ten Cases of Chinese IP Theft[19] Tesla sues former employees for allegedly stealing data, Autopilot source code[20] Why Might China Want to Steal These Silicon Secrets?[21] Inside a Heist of American Chip Designs, as China Bids for Tech Power[22] China Is Stealing American Property[23] FBI sees sharp rise in economic espionage cases[24] Insider Walks Trade Secrets Worth $1 Billion Out the Door on His Way to China - ClearanceJobs[25] 'We still haven't found any kind of pest': Canada presses China over contaminated canola claims | CBC News[26] How China doesn't play fair on trade[27] Netflix admits its plan for China has failed[28] Chinese Manufacturing Subsidies, Global Commerce and Trade[29] Huawei Global Business Model Relied on Bribes, Corruption[30] Here’s How the Trade War Is Affecting Hollywood[31] https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/03/04/why-is-china-refusing-stop-flow-fentanyl/?utm_term=.820c8b2c380f[32] Feds seize 1 million lbs. of pork smuggled from China to N.J. port amid African swine fever outbreak[33] "The China Hustle" tells the story of a massive fraud you probably haven't heard about - Marketplace[34] When Chinese Stock Fraud Was Rampant[35] http:// https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-dirty-dollar50-billion-scam-wall-street-is-getting-away-with[36] https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/its-time-to-end-the-china-hustle-on-us-stock-exchanges/2018/08/30/50137c1a-ac8d-11e8-8a0c-70b618c98d3c_story.html?utm_term=.ed5605d92d11[37] BABA:...an "Earnings Call" without discussing "Earnings"[38] Opinion | You Can’t Trust a Chinese Audit[39] China confirmed as source of rise in CFCs[40] China says Xinjiang has 'boarding schools', not 'concentration camps'[41] Profiting From Persecution: China's Forced Labor Prisons[42] Organ Harvesting Tribunal 2019[43] China Using OPM Records for Spying[44] China Using OPM Records for Spying[45] The detained Canadians: Brace yourselves, China’s 'disappearances' are coming to the west | Hong Kong Free Press HKFP[46] Canada says 13 citizens detained in China since Huawei CFO arrest[47] 4corners on Twitter[48] Terry Glavin: It’s official – China is a threat to Canada’s national security[49] China's communists fund Jacinda Ardern's Labour Party: What the United States Congress was told[50] https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/the-united-states-must-help-taiwan-resist-chinese-dominance/2019/03/28/c6c07868-5188-11e9-8d28-f5149e5a2fda_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ddf6af0c2710[51] https://backroompolitics.net/2018/05/07/a-chinese-funded-philippine-president/[52] Chinese tactics to silence Uighur Muslims abroad revealed[53] Her Reporting Led To The Firing Of Canada’s Ambassador.
