Lately, America's largest imported product seems to be communism

By Steve Lombardi

As an American, if you don't believe in some form of regulating imported products then you're a communist. If as an American you don't think the people of China need freedom of speech then you are a communist.

The melamine contaminated baby milk from China is into its next phase. Lawsuits were filed in the Supreme People’s Court Of the People's Republic of China (An oxymoron I'd say.) in Beijing for the 213 children, including 4 that died, to obtain monetary compensation from Sanlu. There is just one hitch, the Supreme People’s Court has already rejected several similar lawsuits and has the power to accept or reject class action lawsuits. Since this is a politically sensitive subject, (Oops you mean Communist Party Officials may have been involved with corruption?) it’s not likely the CCP is going to allow a public airing of official corruption. So expect this lawsuit or lawsuits to be dismissed like all the other ones. The lawyers are hoping this one, when dismissed, at least garners an explanation of why they are being dismissed. Don't hold your breath waiting for that written decision.

When the news doesn’t fit into the CCP’s idea of what they want the Chinese people to believe the CCP simply lies or as you will see uses outright intimidation and files criminal charges for having possession of state secrets, fraud or espionage. It’s not unusual for the CCP news to conflict with reality. It appears that the truth or facts that expose the truth are state secrets.

By now you should know that the chemical melamine found in infant formula is used to make tires or tables or dishes. But as we now know it was being used to do an end run on protein testing of milk watered down to increase profits. The CCP is up to it's eyeballs into covering up the official corruption involving the who concerning melamine contamination in milk.

Lying by the CCP isn’t new. Recent lies have included the sovereignty of Tibet and the treatment of Tibetan monks. Tibetan monks in March 2008 provided evidence of recent attempts by the Chinese Communist Party officials to impersonate Tibetan monks in Lhasa for the purpose of distorting the news the outside world would hear about Tibet. Risking their safety and lives real Tibetan monks stormed the phony news conference and told the truth about lacking freedom of speech and the truth about the Tibetan people’s treatment at the hands of the CCP. The Chinese government quickly took the monks away. See it for yourself in this March 31, 2008 YouTube video clip.

Globalization requires honesty by governments of country’s that manufacture products for export. Otherwise those countries that are importing their products live according to the export country’s standard of government. If the United States, as an importer of defective Chinese goods doesn’t regulate safety, then we allow the Communist government and the Chinese Constitution to be substituted for the United States Constitution. In other words, the lack of the freedom of speech in China is what we import along with melamine laced food products.

America elects government officials, and its citizens have the right to criticize those citizens when corruption occurs. But that’s not the case in China. In China if you criticize government officials you end up in prison.

When our own government turns a blind eye to regulating Chinese imports our elected officials capitulate to the Communist Constitution and the Communist form of government. We are a democracy not a communist form of government.

If you want to see Chinese police intimidate common citizens look at this video. Watch at 1:18 minutes into the interview. It’s striking how the police move in to check “papers” and take the witness away for more of the same.

The CCP even jails news reporters who tell the truth.

Like it or not we are living according to a standard that is determined by what U.S. elected officials and Chinese Communist Party Officials do or don’t do with regulating Chinese exports being imported to the United States. The problem is too big for the CCP to guarantee export product safety. As an example companies caught in the melamine scandal simply closed shop and disappeared from the landscape. How do you regulate a here-today-gone-tomorrow industry? Believe it or not the lack of freedom of speech in China affects our safety. If we don’t care about freedom of speech in China for the sake of its people we should care about it from the standpoint of imported product safety. The best regulatory reform we can enact is exporting freedom of speech for the Chinese people. By the CCP allowing the dissidents to speak out about official corruption they will convince America they are serious about export safety.

How do we effectively protect ourselves and regulate imports from China? Let freedom of speech ring out across China.
