| Romney invested in China, linked with Kissinger |
| 2007-08-24 |
| From East Asia Intel, subscription. Republican President candidate Mitt Romney has adopted a pro-China foreign policy that observers say is based on his close ties to former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who has large consulting contracts with the Beijing government. If the politicians are not 'hos of the Oil Ticks, they are 'hos of the Chicoms. “If I'm lucky enough to be president, making China a partner for stability in the world will be one of my highest priorities," the Associated Press quoted the former Massachusetts governor as recently pledging. "China is really key, in many respects, as they become a very large economy,” he said. Romney's financial disclosure statement made public indicates he owns stock worth between $50,000 and $100,000 in China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. or Sinopec, which human rights activists say is a key investor in Sudan. Romney aides said the investments are in a blind trust and the trustee sold other stock having connections to Sudan. Hidin' behind the Blind Trust™ thingy, ya say? |

| #2 The guy is worth more than $200 million. If he only has $50-100K invested in China then I question his financial savvy in forgoing the world's fastest growing market for the last 20 years. |

After he's been thoroughly greased, I'm sure the Politburo refers to Romney as their "Catcher's" Mitt. He certainly seems to be crouched and ready. |
