According to James Burke of the Economic Policy Institute, increases in US direct
investment in China are directly linked to the trade deficit. Each “10% increase in U.S.
direct investment in” any particular industry in China results in “a 7.3% increase” in U.S.
imports from China and “a 2.1% decline of U.S. exports to China in that industry.”

According to Joseph Lam, author of China The Last Superpower, in 1996, the US
“crossed an unprecedented economic divide with China. Our negative balance of trade with
China became greater than any other nation on earth—surpassing Japan for the first time, and all
of Europe combined!”

Since 1996 the trade deficit has skyrocketed. Lam indicates that much
of the US’s arms and technology shipments to China are to offset the trade deficit. He states:
“The only way to erase our trade deficit overnight is bigger arms and technology shipments to
mainland China.”

The Persecution & Assassination of True American Patriots
The average citizen in the United States would expect that our government takes a hard
stand against traitors and communists spies but the truth is just the opposite. Brave American
patriots who have bravely taken a stand for God and country against communist spies and
