Two separate locations - the one by the Frat was a basement store - ONLY convenience store on campus at the time. The one on Stanford was a block off Gateway behind the building that used to be a laundromat and carwash and across from the old Frenchys. The building is still there but its some weird office or something now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fully aware of the threat of China to the US and some of the ways they go about it. I've listened to speakers from the GFAFB discuss it. And I'm not trying to minimize the overall impact that is there. My point is that China is significantly smarter and more advanced in their methods then blatantly dropping a billion dollars facility to use for such purposes. I would actually say a somewhat more realistic scenario is something along the lines of this being used as a giant distraction and them doing something completely off the wall like buying the Knights Inn and use that as a sort of foreign intel mission (I think neither is likely, but something a lot less obvious is much more likely in my mind). Some of the general commentary and lines of thinking I've heard are fairly laughable. Like was previously mentioned: Cirrus is owned by China Aviation Industry General Aircraft which is a division of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (which is a Chinese state-owned aerospace and defense conglomerate headquartered in Beijing), so they already have a similar company set up within a few miles of the proposed site. They are going to bring more attention to that by spending a billion dollars to put up another plant? Maybe, but I find it hard to believe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like college professors selling info to chinese Like stealing copywrite material even Dougie's Even a VP's son accepting money for Chinese to gain access. 10% for the big guy. Now president. USA needs a strong presents or Taiwan will be taken over by China and USA will not lift a finger because of all the commerce between. Companies don't give a damn about Taiwan. If Taiwan falls so does Japan and S Korea. What the hell it is only a corn milling plant!!!! The Art of War continued to be consulted afterwards throughout China's history and eventually came to be considered one of the classics and required reading. From China, the work traveled around the world and, in the present day, is among the bestselling books of all time. Sun-Tzu's maxim that “All warfare is based on deception” (1.18) has been cited as an essential component of any military campaign as well as in business transactions, legal proceedings, and political campaigns.
