By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, find that the actions and policies of persons — including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the Crimean region without the authorization of the Government of Ukraine — that undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.
In essence, Obama has declared economic war with China; a country who owns trillions in U.S. debt, and 100′s of millions in mortgage backed securities. All without the authority or even consultation of the U.S. Congress.
While the so-called neo-conservatives gush & gobble over Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Rick Perry at CPAC, Congress is drunk with power and asleep at the wheel. Obama can do whatever he wishes — he doesn’t even need to worry about the democrats running the House of Representatives, the Republicans could not be any more helpful by their inaction and in most cases assistance in installing communism with him.

20 of them worked for Freescale Semiconductor, a Texas company. Semiconductive chipmaking?
Really, weird.
A rather large drone strike and technology buried or those in the know gone.
I really question all of these events occurring around the same time.
Can you show us the part that has to do with China? Or is China a person? A person who has asserted governmental authority in Crimea?
Here is a portion of the executive order:

Wait a minute here.....
One day everyone is criticizing Obama for being too soft and indecisive and the next you're attacking him for taking some non military action against the perpetrators of the Ukraine debacle?
Make your minds up America. This is way too confusing to us outsiders

Not really seeing the China connection, also I don't think "declares war" means what you think it does...

It has nothing to do with China but with individuals who may be acting against the interests of Ukraine in Crimea.
