The products we make comprise of induction motors, gearboxes, and electronics. As such, we are pretty heavily reliant on the local supply chain. Our current method is to setup holding companies outside of China where pretty much all the profit goes. China only gets paid the bare minimum in costs.

We're extremely small in the overall scheme of things. Just a heads up to say that the OP is right in saying that pretty much 100% of anything you buy from China, at least some of that money goes directly to the CCP.

Can confirm. My family owns a factory in China. When we export, we get paid in USD. Except that USD never gets to us. The central bank takes it. The factories only get an "equivalent" amount converted to the RMB monopoly money.

We all know how the CCP then uses all that USD from every single exporter: bribe, grift, buy media companies, buy big tech shares, etc. This is how it has been working ever since the world allowed China into the WTO.

I hate that we are contributing to the problem and am trying to find alternate revenue streams that does not result in handing money to the CCP.

Part 2 didn't make sense for me. Says Bridges was sentenced late 2015, but Seth Rich was murdered in mid 2016. Bridges is meant to be the primary source for all the information, but how could he know if he was out of the loop by then?
