Basic comment on the
China deal. My message to the Trade
Team. “Do what you can, BUT accept what
cannot be done.”
Probable facts. 1.
China has already stolen enough technology and materials to sustain them for at
least ten years. They need no more now,
but cannot give up their practices if only to save face. 2. China will continue
to hack. 3. China will continue to
promote their information hegemony worldwide, and military hegemony in the
Pacific.
China’s military
development in the the South China Sea.
What can you do except get promises?
Here you can exert tariff policies if it continues. This is measurable!
China’s space
explorations and militarization. These
will continue regardless. This is not measurable!
Trade deal. Negotiate a move toward a fiscal quid pro quo
over the next six/seven years. This is measurable!
China’s foreign corporate
ownership (in China). This should be a non
negotiable part of a trade agreement. China is bending on this. Pursue it further, applying Vaseline as
needed. This is measurable!
China and Huawei. The US is correctly pursuing a policy by
making the world aware of how China is stealing information. Awareness is the first step of prevention. Increase
all efforts here. Put it to Huawei to prove they are NOT co-opting data. This is measurable!
Tagline: The Internet
is the roadway of the most dangerous “fifth column” invasion of our time.
China will hack, i.e.
cheat. Even if they promise not to hack, they will. If necessary, they will move their operations
to a client country such as NOKO. It is
up to the USA to prevent this here at home. Thus…
The USA, using the
NSF, should approve protocols for securing personal data for corporations
(including the US govt) that hold it. Software
should be available at nominal cost, and with Congress require/demand personal
information holding companies to comply.
Many simple methods such as two-factor authentication work well. Corporate
sales of personal information should be tightly regulated.
Bottom lines: 1. Secure
US corporate ownership of US firms in China. 2. Stop the hacking by preventing
it – at home. 3. China’s military
hegemony is a public matter to be exposed and expressed to the world. 4. China’s suborning of the world’s
information pool should be stopped. World pressure works. 5. Form a graduated
balance for a lasting trade policy. The world will offer thanks.
