[h=2]Beijing Warns Clinton Not to Bash China During Campaign[/h]State-controlled newspapers publish article critical of Hillary


EMAIL

AP

April 21, 2015 5:00 am


Two Chinese Communist Party-controlled newspapers published an indirect warning to Hillary Clinton not to criticize China during her campaign for president.
A commentary published Friday in both the official Party newspaper the People’s Dailyand the xenophobic Global Times predicted Clinton “won’t be nice to China, at least during her campaign.”
“Clinton doesn’t want to be seen as ‘soft’ on China,” the report by New York-based Global Timescorrespondent Rong Xiaoqing states.
The report then went on to quote from Clinton’s 2014 book Hard Choices, in which Clinton called on Asian states to form an alliance against China and criticized China’s state-control censorship, or the Great Fire Wall. The book also mentioned Clinton’s confrontation with Chinese leader Hu Jintao about the exiled Tibetan leader the Dalai Lama.
“The attacks have continued,” the report said. “Clinton recently used her Twitter account to criticize China for detaining five feminist activists.”
The article then said Clinton’s efforts to form an alliance of smaller Asian states is “at best weak,” and will be undermined by the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
The commentary then urges Clinton to heed the advice of former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, whose new book, Dealing with China, calls for accommodating the emerging communist economic superpower.
“Clinton should keep in mind a warning from Henry Paulson,” the article states. “When asked … what he’d like to hear the presidential candidates say about China, the former U.S. treasury secretary quipped: ‘I’d like them to say as little as possible.’”
The Global Times commentary came several days after Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said Clinton’s run for the presidency is an internal U.S. matter. But Lei also suggested that politicians should not undermine U.S.-China relations.
Asked to comment on Clinton’s announced plan to seek the presidency, Hong said: “The U.S. presidential election is an internal affair of the U.S.”
Hong went on to say that the development of U.S.-China relations “is in the fundamental interests of the two peoples, and helpful to safeguard peace, stability and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific and the world.”
“We are willing to join hands with the U.S. to strive for constantly new progress in the building of the new model of major-country relationship between China and America,” he said.
The state-run media report quoted a 2012 Washington Post editorial that argued an iron law of U.S. politics is that “you can’t go wrong bashing China.”
Clinton angered China in 2010 when as secretary of state she said the United States has a national interest in maintaining freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, which China is claiming as its territorial waters.
“The United States has a national interest in freedom of navigation, open access to Asia’s maritime commons, and respect for international law in the South China Sea,” Clinton said during a 2010 visit to Vietnam.
The Global Times report said one of the “thorniest” issues for Clinton will be her past links to Chinese money, quoting a July 2014 joint investigation by the Washington Examiner and Judicial Watch.
That probe found that Bill Clinton gave four speeches in China or to Chinese-sponsored U.S. entities for a total of $1.7 million. The Clinton Foundation also received donations of between $750,000 and $1.75 million from groups with interests in China.
During the late 1990s, President Bill Clinton also become embroiled in the so-called “Chinagate” scandal involving a covert Chinese influence campaign targeting the Clinton administration.
Illegal campaign contributions involving Chinese agents were detailed in the 1998 book Year of the Rat, by Edward Timperlake and William C. Triplett II.
“When we were writing Year of the Rat about illegal contributions to the Clinton campaigns by Chinese military intelligence in 1998, we were following the trail to Bill Clinton but we kept running across lines to Mrs. Clinton,” Triplett said in an email.
“When the Clintons joked about their time in office as a dual effort, that extended to the illegal campaign contributions as well,” said Triplett, a former chief Republican counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The Global Times article also noted Clinton’s close relationship with Chinese-American fundraiser Norman Hsu, who was arrested in 2007 for illegal fundraising. Hsu was a campaign bundler for Clinton’s 2008 campaign, which returned $850,000 in campaign contributions raised by Hsu.
The report said Clinton hoped to raise $2.5 billion for the 2016 presidential election campaign.
“There is no doubt Clinton has the ability to raise whatever she needs without crossing the line,” the report said. “But the astronomical spending will likely bring up all the money-related questions and memories and mean that Clinton has an incentive to keep her distance from China.”
Former State Department official John Tkacik said he agrees with the Chinese assessment of Clinton.
“I’m not a big fan of Secretary Clinton, but I have to admit that of all the candidates so far, it’s a paradox that the ones with consistent records of China-skepticism are Democrats: Mrs. Clinton and former Virginia Senator Jim Webb.”
Tkacik said Obama administration policies toward China have softened “dangerously” since Clinton left the State Department in 2012 and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stepped down in 2013.
Tkacik said he is not surprised Beijing is expressing alarm at a possible Hillary Clinton presidency, “and I predict they will get increasingly more vocal in the coming months.”
“I have a lot of complaints about Mrs. Clinton’s domestic policies, and the rather paranoid personal habits with which she conducts government business, but I cannot fault her instincts on China,” he said.

[h=2]Top Pro-Israel Donor Unsure of Clinton’s Position on Iran Deal[/h]Philanthropist Haim Saban: ‘I have no idea what Hillary thinks about the Iran deal’


EMAIL

A top supporter of Hillary Clinton on Monday denied that he knew the presumptive Democratic nominee’s position on the agreement between the Obama administration and Iran on nuclear issues, contradicting media reports suggesting she was opposed to such a deal.
Haim Saban, the Hollywood mogul and pro-Israel philanthropist, told Israel’s Channel One earlier this month that the Democratic presidential candidate “has an opinion, a very well-defined opinion” on the Iranian negotiations, according to a report in the Hill.
“I can’t reveal to you things that were said behind closed doors,” said Saban, a long-time Clinton loyalist and fundraiser. “In any case, everything that she thinks and everything she has done and will do will always be for the good of Israel. We don’t need to worry about this.”
Several reports took Saban’s comments as a hint that Clinton was opposed to the Obama administration’s framework agreement with Iran.
However, Saban said that he is still unaware of the 2016 hopeful’s position on the issue—although he said he was “sure that she has a firm opinion about the matter.”
“I have no idea what Hillary thinks about the Iran deal,” said Saban. “What I said is that even if I knew I couldn’t share.”
Saban said media reports “simply extrapolated, wrongly, that [Clinton] is against [the Iran deal], which made for a good, but false headline.”
Clinton has yet to take a strong public stance on the Iran framework agreement. Earlier this month she said she supported the negotiations while also noting that the “devil is always in the details” and “the bar must be set high” for a final deal. Some in the pro-Israel community say Clinton’s position on the deal is likely to influence congressional Democrats.
Saban, the co-owner of Univision who funded the Brookings Institute’s former Saban Center for Middle East Policy, helped raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008. His wife has donated up to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Hillary Vows To ‘Topple’ The Rich In Off-The-Record Meeting

Hillary Clinton told economists in an off-the-record meeting she wants to ‘topple’ the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. (RELATED: Hillary Clinton: Allegations I Traded Political Favors For Donations Are Just ‘Distractions’)

The revelations come from a Tuesday New York Times article written by reporter Amy Chozick and entitled “A Newcomer to Populism? Hillary Clinton Campaign Begs to Differ.”


The bulk of the piece describes Clinton’s efforts to recast herself as a populist Democrat in the vein of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.


But buried all the way in the 25th paragraph is an account of a meeting Clinton held earlier in the year with a group of unnamed economists:

In a meeting with economists this year, Mrs. Clinton intensely studied a chart that showed income inequality in the United States. The graph charted how real wages, adjusted for inflation, had increased exponentially for the wealthiest Americans, making the bar so steep it hardly fit on the chart.

Mrs. Clinton pointed at the top category and said the economy required a “toppling” of the wealthiest 1 percent,
according to several people who were briefed on Mrs. Clinton’s policy discussions, but could not discuss private conversations for attribution. [Emphasis added]


Chozick goes on to write that her sources say Clinton will pitch her “toppling” of the 1 percent as “proposals for changes in the tax code as a way of also investing in education, infrastructure and communities.”


It’s worth noting that with an estimated net worth somewhere between $5 and 50 million, Clinton is comfortably within the richest 1 percent of Americans.

What a pleasant and truly happy person. It's amazing that she and her husband pulled themselves out of poverty 14 years ago to become true champions for the average working class family.

With honesty and transparency by their side, this is a great example of how your average American makes it to the top.

HILLARY, BILL CLINTON MAY HAVE VISITED INDICTED MENENDEZ DONOR’S LUXURIOUS DOMINICAN PARTY PAD

As Hillary Clinton begins her second run for the Democrat nomination for president, serious questions of corruption while she was Secretary of State continue to circle around her, especially over her connections to millions in donations from foreign governments.

Aside from the foreign donations, though, Hillary has also now been connected to another politician’s corruption investigation. It has been revealed that a man indicted on corruption charges along with Senator Robert Menendez (D, NJ) may have hosted both Bill and Hillary at a high-cost vacation getaway in the Dominican Republic.
As part of the case against Senator Menendez, Dr. Salomon Melgen has been indicted and accused of corruption, but he also has ties to the Clintons.
A recent article in The New York Post reports that Melgen had hosted the former President and First Lady at a vacation getaway at his villa in Casa de Campo, “a luxury seaside resort in La Romana.” Records also show that Melgen and his wife donated thousands to the Clintons.
Clinton flack Terry McAuliffe, now Governor of Virginia, was also a frequent Casa de Campo guest.
But Melgen now stands accused of giving millions in gifts and donations and in kind contributions to Menendez in exchange for numerous “favors” allegedly bestowed upon him by the Senator.
Melgen is also under suspicion of engaging underage prostitutes at his Casa de Campo villa.
The Dominican Republic figures in with a second scandal comprised of allegations that Clinton took millions in donations from that country and others, both during and after she was Secretary of State.
This week the Clinton Foundation has done an about face on donations from foreign nations. Since accusations that the Clinton Foundation continued to take millions in donations from foreign nations, even as Hillary was the Secretary of State, the charity group has abruptly stopped taking donations from a new list of foreign countries. The Dominican Republic is now on the ban list.
This comes after a new book says that the Clinton Foundation did take donations from a host of Central and South American, as well as Caribbean, countries while Hillary was at the State Dept., and that she may have performed some quid pro quo for the money.
In the new book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Clinton Rich, author Peter Schweizer claims that in once case Hillary worked to put in place a free-trade agreement with Colombia after her foundation received a large donation from the region.
“We will see a pattern of financial transactions involving the Clintons that occurred contemporaneous with favorable U.S. policy decisions benefiting those providing the funds,” Schweizer writes of the donations made during Hillary’s time as Sec. of State.
As to funds from the Dominican Republic, up to $25 million seems to have come from a government agency called Copresida. The agency works to combat HIV/AIDS, a cause the Clinton Foundation has supported. Schweizer noted that these donations came after Hillary left the Sec. of State’s office.
The Clintons have also been criticized for taking millions in donations from some of these countries with a spotty record on human rights.
For now, the Clinton Foundation has decided to allow donations only from the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
This new list now excludes nations that had until now given tens of millions to the Clinton Foundation. Excluded are nations such as the Dominican Republic, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Kuwait, Italy, Brunei, and Taiwan, all now cut off.
These new scandals are added to charges that Hillary violated the law using secret email addresses while at State and that she has since illegally deleted many of her official communications, an action that could prevent Congressional investigators from learning all the facts about her role during the murders of four Americans in the terror attacks at Benghazi, Libya in 2012.

Amazing how dumb these right wingers are. Did you see delusional Russ post an article that says " the clintons may have done such and such". Lol. More quality right wing cut and paste.

So you ass-ume they are not guilty of any thing. You don't get it and you never will. You will never find articles like this in your narrow scoped left wing sites. It is you, the sheep, that refuses to look both ways before crossing the street. What a loser.

And you assume they are guilty of everything.....the majority of your bullshit right wing stories over the years get proven false. You never answer for the ones that turn out to be lies you just move onto the next bullshit story.

You are a far right robot with zero thinking ability

Interesting results. Very different from the PPP polls from 4/7. Probably has a lot to do with this being a poll of "adult Americans" rather than PPP's registered voters. The one similarity is Rubio looks to be the best chance the Rs have.

Yeah, this was AFTER Hillary announced, as well as the R's who have already announced. And takes into account the all out media assault on anything and everything Hillary, for the last 2 weeks, which always helps her. You'd think they'd learn and stop attacking her for nonsense. But they don't, so it'll unfortunately assure her pretty clear sailing.
