SHANGHAI (AP) -- Factory workers demanding better wages and working conditions are hastening the eventual end of an era of cheap costs that helped make southern China the world's factory floor.

A series of strikes over the past two months have been a rude wake-up call for the many foreign companies that depend on China's low costs to compete overseas, from makers of Christmas trees to manufacturers of gadgets like the iPad.

Tax preferences for foreign companies ended in 2007. Land, water, energy and shipping costs are on the rise. Many of today's factory workers of toys and trinkets, Christmas trees and cheap shoes have higher ambitions than their parents, who generally saved their earnings from assembling toys and television sets for retirement in their rural hometowns.

Excerpts from Chapter 4- INTELL FROM THE PRC
“Remember ninety-five percent of all US products are made in China. If the communist party wants to squeeze the US all they have to do is impose severe taxes on our factories or just shut off the power. Those black-outs they have every week could become permanent. What makes you think China and the pinko party are going to sit still when they have a prime opportunity in their lap?...and we handed it to them.”

"Let's say for a moment that China decided to impose a factory shutdown or strike if you will...for whatever reason...a month or longer. Let's say for three months all US products made in China are no longer crowding Walmart's shelves. Do you suppose for one minute what the impact would be to our economy? Who would make our products for almost nothing? China is the riskiest link in our economic chain. And as you know the Chinese are most eager to get their hands on US trade secrets. Don't be fooled for one minute.”

“In one hand China has the funds and the Russian weapons factories...and in the other hand they have the US by the _____. While the US is spending billions fighting three wars the PRC is building up their military machine. We're playing a game of checkers while they're playing a game of chess! Don't you see? It's a danger we're able to engage...We're able to realize the danger because we can as a superpower to survive and preserve our freedom. Hopefully our government is not looking the wrong way."


Audiences can look forward to Harrison Court-006 as the new American spy-hero adapted from Kensington Roth's spy novel Able Danger. The Harrison Court saga opens in Hong Kong for a clandestine meeting between Court and his Chinese counterpart Ying. The story's intriguing espionage develops throughout various locations in Rome, Washington DC, China, Maryland, Singapore, Malaysia, Florida, and Chicago.

Who will play the charismatic, leading man? Johnny Depp is slated for the role of Harrison Court-006 opposite the sexy and alluring Maggie Q as his spy-girl Missong. Court's Chinese counterpart Ying is a role only Jet Li can deliver. Mark Ruffalo is cast to depict the ruthless DaSage, and his spy-girl Volace is best portrayed by the beautiful Caterina Murino.

U.S. Missiles Deployed Near China Send a Message

By Mark Thompson,TIME

From Blogger Pictures

If China's satellites and spies were working properly there would have been a flood of unsettling intelligence flowing into the Beijing headquarters-MSS division last week. A new class of U.S. super weapons had suddenly surfaced in China's backyard. Alarm bells sounded in Beijing June 28 when the Tomahawk-laden 560-foot USS Ohio popped up in the Philippines' Subic Bay, the USS Michigan arrived in Pusan, South Korea, and the USS Florida surfaced the same day at the joint U.S.-British naval base near Thailand. The Chinese military awoke to find as many as 462 Tomahawks cruise missiles, capable of hitting anything within 1,000 miles deployed by the U.S. in its neighborhood. "There has been a decision to bolster our forces in the Pacific," says Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "There is no doubt that China will stand up and take notice."

The submarines aren't the only new potential issue of concern for the Chinese. Two major military operations included 20,000 personnel and 73 ships from the US and 14 nations were involved in the missile exercises. More than three dozen naval ships and subs began participating in the "Rim of the Pacific" war games off Hawaii on Wednesday. The military exercises are billed as the world's largest-ever naval war game as a result of China's growing missile force, now more than 1,000 near the Taiwan Strait. The Tomahawks' arrival sends a signal that no doubt Beijing got the message.

Excerpt from Chapter 7-The New American Century Project

“Today we are setting the predominant security strategy relevant to China's recent actions resulting from intelligence providing significant information on the build up their defense systems. The transformation objectives identify our first priority for the defense of US territory against a broad range of asymmetric threats, so we don't get caught off guard in the event of a surprise attack. The contingency defense plan includes the following:

(1) The completion of necessary facilities for a small fleet of Dolphin-type submarines stationed in Guam.

(2) The 6th fleet has open orders to patrol the east and south China sea.

(3) Reconnaissance flights will continue over Hainan Island indefinitely.

(4) Several nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have established port in Japan.

(5) The Fighter Tactical Squadron part of the Mission Support Group is on alert in Taiwan.

Gentlemen...George and I have outlined the framework to destabilize China for the 21st century. Reports indicate the PRC is planning to obtain a massive defense capability. Further intelligence reveals that the People's Republic has initiated a strategy to raise billions by taxing the US factories on China's soil. As you know, these factories manufacture ninety-five percent of all American products.”

Donaldson flips the page of notes he's reading from and looks at Reece looking at him with uncertainty.
“The American consumer is funding China's appetite for defensive weapons. That's what we know. What we have here...we have a quagmire. Add in our strategic policy with Taiwan and we're facing a world of them and us which exponentially could be disastrous. The US strategy for the New American Century has been cast. Our nation can't afford amateur hour in the White House! So remember...a lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small.”

EXCERPT from Chapter 1
From outer space the satellite disengages its laser on this American suburban household, as the TEST of Gravvox’s destructive fire power has concluded. The laser’s disengagement creates a sensitizing, bursting, spherical-shaped flash traveling almost forever in space. The effects of the laser burning out causes a phenomenal, geomagnetic interference with Earth’s ATMOSPHERE.
