I Oppose Los Angeles Port Deal with China
The Port of Los Angeles was wrong to give a contract for security equipment to a Chinese Company in the first place. It was right to take a second look at the matter. It is now wrong to give the issue a third round of decision making. All of this confusion relates directly to the lack of guidelines by the Department of Homeland Security.
The most important factor in purchasing security equipment should be that it’s not coming from a potential enemy. That should exclude Chinese security equipment. The fact that the President of China’s son is part of this deal indicates that the whole deal deserves a great deal more scrutiny. I would suggest that the Port of Los Angeles start all over again and this time exclude consideration for security equipment manufactured by a potential national security threat like China.
