Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
The NPR “journalist” claims he didn’t get a comment from Alden because there was no contact information on their web site. All he had to do was google their name and he would have found several sites, including SEC documents with their phone number. Plus, I don’t recall Marx, the Tribune reporter interviewed in the NPR puff piece, protesting when the Tribune imposed staff cuts on the LA Times.
He was unable to DM Alden because they don’t have a Twitter account!
The Trib reporters are too dumb to realize they were dead in the water long ago. TDS does affect one’s ability to think critically.
