Shades Re: US Patent database. US patents are public information and always have been. The difference is that now you can access the entire US patent database online and for free. Back in the 1970's when I was doing patent research I would have to go to an engineering school that had a patent library and make photostats from the paper copies. By the 1980's most places with a patent collection had placed the patents on microfilm but had gotten very fussy about who could view them and I guess this was a Reagan administration policy. Under Clinton the patent office put the entire library online and I never thought this was a good idea. Before that for example, in the entire state of Georgia the only public patent library was at Georgia Tech and the only way for a non student to view the patents or make copies was to register and pay for the copies. The online patents was a Clinton idea and a stupid idea (or treason, take your pick). Slagle

All the low tech stuffs that China could get from elsewhere. Wait ten years to read what China is getting from current administration. Lots of US corporations moving their research to China now, including the transfer of nuclear power generating plant technology. Hehehe.

>> () Supercomputers for weapons development.<< China does not need NO STINKING US supercomputer, China has its own, one of Top 10 fastest* top500.org english.people.com.cn >>() Global Positioning System Technology for missile guidance.<< China has already invested a big amount of money in Galileo. So as soon as it starts to operate, China will stop using the US military-owned GPS. And one day when China is rich enough, I bet China will independently set up its own. >>() Satellites and satellite technology.<< LOL. I know the US wants to credit itself for every advanced technology ever invented by China, but China got satellites and satellite technology from the US? that is definitely too far fetched. But never mind and keep dreaming, China has some super space weapon which will surprise you even more! Just like Wen ho Lee 's case, those slandering calling of China stealing the US high-tech is completely unfounded/paranoid. You can repeat those lies for million times, does not mean they are the fact. >>() A flip-flop to delink MFN trade status and human rights.<< The fact is: the US has a worse human right record than China so stop policing others before taking care of your own human right violation! >>() Placement of John Huang inside the Commerce Dept. with a security clearance and access to classified information.<< You do sounds somewhat paranoid. >>() The entire U.S. Patent database.<< Tax-payer sponsored property so it is public-accessible information for everyone in the world. >>() US backing down on the Taiwan issue and withdrawing military presence in Straits of Taiwan during crisis.<< You sound like a Hawk from Pentagon, LOL. Taiwan issue is China's own internal issue, as much as the US wants to it as the US's own unsinkable aircraft carrier. China will take Taiwan back in the near future, even if you may not like it. But you are no relevant anyway. >>(*) Sensitive encryption information, hardware and software.<< China can do pretty well with your stinking sensitive encryption information. And go complain to your congressmen would be much more effective than complaining here.
