<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 1015856, member: 57463&quot;]Preparing for the talk I gave at the Pittsburgh 2004 ANA convention on &quot;Fakes, Frauds and Phonies: Threat or Menace?&quot; I interviewed a federal agent who told me that China beheaded three men for counterfeiting US Federal Reserve Notes.&nbsp; I took that to mean that the US government requested perhaps not the execution but some attention to that particular problem.&nbsp; Obviously, however, they do not behead people for all fakes.&nbsp; It is an important livelihood for the population.&nbsp; Now, of course, ten years later, the Chinese government holds a trillion dollars or more of US government debt, so it is hard to say who pressures whom to do what.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember <i>Red Dawn</i> with Patrick Swayze?&nbsp;&nbsp; There is a new one coming out: <a href="http://www.reddawn2010.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.reddawn2010.com/" rel="nofollow">the Chinese are only here to help</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
