Made in China: Treasonous Honeywell execs caught providing sensitive info to communists
the prospect of the U.S. military being dependent on our greatest adversary to keep weapons systems operational is extremely troubling

America’s largest geopolitical competitor right now is China, a nation that many Americans view as the greatest threat to our interests. China’s thinly veiled threats against Australia and the communist nation’s blatant aspirations to end Taiwan’s independence and re-annex the island democracy to the mainland are just some of the more obvious indications of China’s treachery.
Yet it appears that, while most of the American public is worried about the Red Menace, our elites are not. In fact, some of them are traitors that are giving material comfort to the enemy. According to Aviation Week, tech giant Honeywell has agreed to pay $13 million in fines and compliance costs after company officials sent multiple engineering and technical documents to China with details of multiple aircraft.
Those include the latest additions to the U.S. air arsenal, the Lockheed Martin F-22 and F-35. The passing of technical information occurred over a seven-year period, as indicated by U.S. State Department admissions recorded May 3.
The accusations stem from Honeywell providing specifications to Chinese firms — essentially the same thing as providing them to the communist government — in seeking bids for parts included in equipment for the two fighter-attack jets. The U.S. Justice Department is now investigating the defense contractor’s export and import procedures as they apply to U.S. defense material and weapons.
There are also implications of sedition and treason for Obama administration officials, some of whom now work in the Biden administration. The Pentagon twice waived laws banning Chinese-built components in U.S. weapons in 2012 and 2013. Those waivers were specifically for parts supplied by Honeywell for the $392 billion Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 program.
According to a State Department statement on the issue, those engineering and technical documents included “engineering prints showing dimensions, geometries, and layouts for manufacturing castings and finished parts for multiple aircraft, gas turbine engines, and military electronics.”
There were 34 violations that took place between 2011 and 2015. Honeywell and State both claim the executives who shared the documents with several nations — Canada, Ireland, Mexico, China and Taiwan — did so “inadvertently” as part of “normal business discussions.”
Perhaps we could allow that to be true of discussions with Canada, Mexico, Ireland, and Taiwan. Those nations are all allies or partners with the U.S. and are generally pro-U.S. in outlook — more so than even Joe Biden, from the appearance of things.
China is another matter. We have to ask why a U.S. defense contractor is in contact with, much less so doing business with, the communist state. Beyond that, why would they ever discuss our two most important new fighter jets with the Chinese? How could sensitive engineering data come up “inadvertently” in a meeting with our nation’s greatest enemy?
To any unbiased observer, this appears to be treason. The definition of treason in America is “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
Did the Honeywell executives that sent F-22 and F-35 information to China commit treason?
Let’s look at the facts.
China is our enemy. At this point, everyone but the most radical leftists and naïve globalists understand that. To achieve their designs on world domination, China needs information on our top fighter jets to defeat them if our differences ever lead to a shooting war. How is providing them with that information not “giving them aid and comfort?”
Far less serious offenses in past conflicts were deemed to be treason at the time. Though none with U.S. citizenship were executed for treason, Mildred “Axis Sally” Gillars came very close.
New details have now emerged about the Obama waivers. One involved thermal sensors that Honeywell initially produced in Scotland before moving that production line to China in 2009 and 2010. The other waivers involved high-performance magnets built in China and elsewhere. Honeywell did not use company-owned plants but instead moved production to Chinese-owned facilities.
Chinese officials insisted.
Of course they did. It was a prime opportunity to gain access to critical information about their greatest enemy’s newest aircraft. Honeywell and the corrupt Fascist Obama administration didn’t blink an eye. They simply provided the specs for the whole aircraft, thus giving China years to figure out ways to bring the new threat down in the air war that may eventually develop.
Honeywell executives are not the only one who should be arrested and tried for treason. Every single Obama sycophant who had anything to do with approving Chinese access to U.S. air arsenal systems should also be put on trial
Biden and the Fascist Democrats fawning over him must wake up to the threat posed by China.
No longer can we let them steal our industrial secrets. No longer can we look the other was as U.S. businessmen and Chinese spies cloaked as researchers send sensitive military information back to the communist mainland.
Those Honeywell executives that sent sensitive F-22 and F-35 information to China should be treated as traitors. They aided our enemy. It does not matter the U.S. president approved. He should be brought up on charges of treason as well.
