Timothy Geithner: China 'Very, Very Aggressive' In Stealing U.S. Technology


Some would say that the cure is isolationi­sm. If we are, in fact, still the world's strongest economy, why, oh why, are we not using our strength. There's no question about winner in wars, except political ones. But, categorizi­ng, tabulating and analyzing the destructio­n of the enemy? We're good at that. Let's apply that mindset to trade; make the rules "our way or the highway."

When the shoe is on the other foot, you would be amazed at the change in attitudes. Unfortunat­ely, our foreign policy is more business-i­nterest driven then firmly reflecting our core beliefs.

And, anyone who doubts just has to do a little research to find out that we can feed, clothe and shelter ourselves, even reduce our energy needs to self-susta­ining if necessary.

From strength comes power, from power comes success. We are naive and delusional if we don't think that others, China, Venezuela, Pakistan to name just a few, don't manipulate the U.S. to suit their own purposes. We are so weak because we allow ourselves to be weak.

Enough!
