A resolution was presented to our state investment council from our elected reps seeking to divest our state retirement funds from companies that do business with Iran. Iran has been providing training for terrorists that have fought and killed American and British military personal in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It looks like the Chinese government likes what it sees over here in the South Dakota legislature and is going for their own version of that resolution. BBC news has reported that China has warned an American company, Boeing, that they will be suspended from doing business with the Chinese government unless they cease military trade with Taiwan. China claims sovereignty over Taiwan and having a Boeing subsidiary McDonnell Douglas provide missiles to Taiwan has gotten the attention of the Chinese leaders.
