Democrat Gov. Inslee offered rocketry tech to China

By all appearances the conclusion is inescapable: American soldiers are now far more likely to die in any military clash with China due to Washington Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee’s avidity for deal-making with the rising communist global superpower.

One word says it all: Rocketry.

“China’s powerful military is considered to be a master at concealing its intentions. But there is no secret about how it plans to destroy American aircraft carriers if rivalry becomes war,” reads the lead sentence in a 2019 Reuters special report titled “New missile gap leaves U.S. scrambling to counter China.”

“Under Xi Jinping, Beijing has elevated its missile forces to a point where many rockets in the Chinese arsenal now rival or outperform those of the United States,” the subhead to the report states. “This dramatic shift could render American carriers – the backbone of U.S. military supremacy – obsolete in a conflict with China.”

The Reuters article details how China has greatly boosted the performance capabilities of its ballistic weapons through improved rocket technology:

The Rocket Force has always enjoyed strong support from the ruling Communist Party. But under Xi, the once secretive unit, formerly known as the Second Artillery Corps, has been thrust into the limelight. Since he took power in 2012 with a pledge to rejuvenate China as a great power, the Rocket Force’s latest nuclear and conventional missiles have played a starring role at some of the biggest military parades held in the Communist era.

At the very moment that this extremely ominous development experienced its exponential growth, a high-profile American governor who also ran for the Democrat Party's 2020 presidential nomination was enticing China to do business in his state by specifically citing the rocket technology he said he had to offer.

Here is Inslee speaking to CGTN, a communist state-owned television broadcaster in 2015 (bold added throughout this column):

"We're emphasizing the positive by bringing potential venture capital for China to grow businesses here, to create jobs in my state. We're emphasizing the possible by opening up markets for companies that I have today that provide some high-tech services... we have a company here that provides IT services to Chinese aerospace companies, for instance."

Asked why Chinese companies should do business in Washington, Inslee replied:

"Because of our great growth in computer science, we now have biotechnology, bioinformatics, aerospace, rocketry, global health, video gaming. And what we're finding we're reaching critical mass where those industries are giving you a portfolio of intellectual talent that's really unsurpassed."

Inslee was so shameless in his pandering to the authoritarian Asian goliath that he glibly resorted to folksy rhetoric in his interview:

"So if you're a young entrepreneur in China, you're looking for a good place to do business and build a new technology company, boy I tell ya, I'd come here and take a really good look at Washington and they can give me a call."
