PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD  NIX PLAN TO SELL AMERICAN TECH COMPANY TO CHINESE GOVERNMENT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

President Trump should not allow Oregon's largest tech company, Lattice Semiconductor Corporation to sell  to CHINA. The company wants to sell its firm to China for  $1.3 BILLION dollars.

Generally the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has a say in such matters.
The purchasers, China-backed  Canyon Bridge Capital is funded in a large part by the Chinese Central government.

Lattice Semiconductors Corp., and representatives for the China buyers have been trying to convince the  Committee of Foreign Investment in the United States to okay the deal for the past eight or nine months. However there are National Security officials that  have objections  to the sale and it is believed that the Committee of Foreign Investment of the United States have indicated that they believe the sale would be a threat to national security. I agree with that assessment- -and, rightly so. I say prohibit the deal. Why?  Because in reality, I do  not believe China is a friend to the United States.

China spends billions of dollars buying up companies in the U.S. that are in the areas of high tech, defense, intelligence, etc., and then they use the U.S. know-how, intellect and systems to enhance their government military programs.

I suggest that there is a method to China's  madness. It is easier for them to buy the companies in the U.S. and covert the tech information to their use instead of using spies and Chinese Nationals to gather  the information covertly.

I further suggest the U.S. should cease selling good American know-how to China. I predict that if the U.S. allows  American companies  to continue to sell and provide sensitive information and technology to China, it will be  turned against us in future.

President Trump has  approximately fifteen (15) days to review the deal and make a decision. I would hope and suggest that president Trump nixes the deal and forbids  the Oregon tech company from being sold to China. This is America and we should not allow tech companies to provide American ingenuity, equipment, information, data, etc.,  to a foreign  power. It doesn't take a third-grader to know that such moves present a direct threat to  America's national security. What the devil is the matter with these people's thinking? - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions, You decide.
