Ivanka Trump to sell Chinese-made voting machines in many US states

Right after Xi took office in China, I read his Five Year Plan:
So far, it seems to be working:

Obama criticized a Chinese law that could stifle U.S. tech business in China. The legislation would require companies to hand over encryption keys to the country’s government, and create “back doors” into their systems to give the Chinese government access. Later, China imposed excessive duties on companies, which import any foreign-made components, used to manufacture or assemble electronics and communications equipment in China.

Ivanka Trump’s latest trademarks in China include voting machines
By The Washington Post
PUBLISHED: November 6, 2018 at 1:56 pm
China awarded Ivanka Trump seven trademarks - especially on US voting machines - around the same time President Trump spent US tax-dollars, to save a Chinese telecom equipment maker, on the verge of going bust from U.S. sanctions. Last year, Ivanka Trump’s clothing line received three trademarks on the same day she dined with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Trump Mar-a-Lago estate, dubbed the Summer White House, where Teflon Don will spend Thanksgiving, in 2018. https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/11/06/ivanka-trumps-latest-trademarks-in-china-include-voting-machines-sausage-casings/

It puts Americans out of work and puts the election results into question. That's a two-fer!

It's what winning is all about.

There are several Russian and Chinese active duty military personnel - in uniform - on the FBI Cyber's Most Wanted list.

I wonder if the Teflon Don Trump crime-syndicate family can find friends they contacted for business or political reasons, on this list.

voting machine patents (which is crazy strange in itself).

And stop adding things into excerpts that aren't even there.

Now that she has the "patents" she sells or distributes the Chinese manufactured products in the USA and other nations.

of course obvious corruption involving every nation he cares to continue a relationship with, but I managed to miss voting machines.

Obama seems more concerned than the author of this WaPo article. I'm going with Obama.

Ivanka Trump-branded semiconductors and voting machines? In China? That’s an odd, if remote, possibility after Chinese trademark regulators awarded preliminary approval for 16 trademark applications from the president’s daughter and White House senior adviser, online Chinese government filings show.

The approvals by Beijing on Oct. 13 were notable for their timing, coming just as Chinese and U.S. officials were seeking to restart trade talks that had collapsed amid acrimony. They also raised eyebrows for covering a grab-bag of products, including electoral hardware in a country not exactly known for its elections. ...

Given the scattershot nature of the applications, the 16 bids that China greenlighted in October gave Ivanka Trump a foothold in a sprawling number of markets. She is now poised to hold trademarks for senior homes and veterinary services, as well as for batteries, wedding gowns and sausage casings. ...

Incredible that this is happening right in front of the entire world. Well, we do have a stable government at least. Currently.

I'm hoping we can eventually seize most or all of their ill-gotten gains and block additional accrual.
