Korean technology companies are examples of the issues we face in our semiconductor export bans with China. China is dominant in key chokepoints of the supply chain, especially high-grade polysilicon and wafers, and certain rare earth elements necessary for the production of the newest-generation chips.

Korean firms also are heavily exposed by their own factory production, which is concentrated in China for the manufacture of intermediate components.

Most of all, though, is the chips firms' reliance on China as a sales channel. China is by far the biggest buyer of semiconductors, and the rest of the world simply cannot replace Chinese firms as buyers. So to comply with US and EU demands for further chip restrictions is to imperil the survival of our own companies.

2011: White supremacy surges in Michigan state government

By Shields Green

Circa February 2011

Republican Governor Rick Snyder, State Treasurer Andy Dillon and the Republican legislators are ratcheting up for a white supremacist* takeover of Detroit from its people and elected officials as has already been done with the Detroit Public Schools.

They are aggravating the law, empowering an emergency financial manager to act as an un-elected dictator, seizing all the powers of the mayor and city council, who are chosen by the People of Detroit, attack city workers� wages and benefits and take control of all the city�s assets. We can expect that they will dispose of the assets to further enrich suburban and out-state rich people.

The new dictatorial, un-American law is going through the legislature lickity split headed for the governor to sign. They are preparing to steal the vote of the Detroit Black majority.

It is not a surprise that this happens as we celebrate for Black History Month, our first, all-Black Detroit City Council.

This state action is the culmination of many years of out-state takeovers of majority Black Detroit by majority white populations out-state. The DPS takeovers by Governors John Engler and Jennifer Granholm were preceded by the abolition of Recorders� Court, the abolition of city residency requirements for city workers, snatching of Cobo Hall, and federal court takeover of the water department. The majority of white Michiganders also passed a Constitutional Amendment outlawing affirmative action.

The latest colonialist, white supremacist action is done under the phony claim that Detroit is fiscally irresponsible.

This comes from a state that is more than a billion dollars into fiscal irresponsibility; a state that used a huge swathe of federal stimulus money to cover-up its own �fiscal irresponsibility,� all the while with its White Supremacist Tea Partiers denouncing President Obama, who is Black, for providing said stimulus money.

Can you belieive it? In other words, out of one side of the Republican mouth, they won the mid-term election by attacking President Obama and on the other side of their mouths. Instead of providing some of the money for impoverished Detroit, they use the $7.8 billion in Stimulus money from Obama

(http://www.house.mi.gov/hfa/PDFs/ARRA%20Forum%20Dec%202009.pdf )

to hide their own bankruptcy and then turnaround and move to steal Detroit's public wealth to enrich their sectors.

The state has reneged on a deal between Engler and former mayor Dennis Archer to pay Detroit more than $200 million (which would balance Detroit's deficit) while restricting Detroit from raising its income taxes. Thus, the state is forcing the city into an alleged "fiscal irresponsibility" as a "shell game "to seize the city's "wealth and power.

Both Michigan and Detroit are in difficult fiscal straits, not because of the failings of government, but the failings of private business, finance and industry which have caused Michigan to fall into a one-state depression and Detroit into a 30-year depression.

The People United will not be defeated. Fight the Powers that be!

*We use white supremacist rather than racist because the white supremacists have reversed the meaning of the venerable sixties rhetorical term "racist" in the public dialogue to use it mainly to slander Black people as "racist or reverse racist."

Hopefully ," white supremacist" will be more difficult to pervert .
