That same "60 Minutes" noted that Silicon Graphics sold something like 80 supercomputers to China. The supercomputers were essential to missile development and targeting the US with Chinese nuclear missiles.
"60 Minutes" connected the dots and documented how Silicon Graphics and its head, McCracken (sp?), had organized Silicon Valley support for Clinton in 1992 and was one of Clinton's and the Dems' largest contributors.
Clinton seems to have been determined to prove the old communist line correct when they said that
"Capitalists will sell us the rope we use to hang them".
Of course, it didn't hurt that Clinton was paid off. Character doesn't matter, we are told:
The China Connection
Did the Clinton Administration take
illegal campaign contributions from
the Chinese in return for easing
restrictions on U.S. exports of high
technology to them? We may never
know, but we do know this
administration has made it easier
than ever for U.S. companies to sell
sensitive technology to the nation
that helped give Pakistan its nuclear capability. Co-editor Steve
Kroft reports.
According to University of Wisconsin professor, Gary Milhollin
(pictured), an expert on the sale of arms technology, highly
sophisticated metal cutting and shaping tools used to make military
aircraft and missiles were exported to China as a deal sweetener that
China asked for when it agreed to give a billion-dollar contract to
McDonnell Douglas to build commercial aircraft in China. "It was
blackmail," Millholin tells Kroft. "The Chinese were telling
McDonnell Douglas, 'Look, if you want to make a big airline
package deal...we want some sensitive machine tools that you
would not otherwise sell us....And we want the administration
to close its eyes,'" he says.
