Haha... you really need to take a good look and consider who are the sheep and who is the shepherd!
Do you honestly believe that the US Govt. doesn't have backdoors / access to backdoors in 99% of US telecoms tech?
Lol... I clicked on the article and the first thing I thought (based on the picture) was Melinda Gates = Chloe from Fight Club.
Narrator: Oh, yeah, Chloe... Chloe looked the way Meryl Streep's skeleton would look if you made it smile and walk around the party being extra nice to everybody.
Chloe: Well, I'm still here. But I don't know for how long. That's as much certainty as anyone can give me. But I've got some good news: I no longer have any fear of death. But... I am in a pretty lonely place. No one will have sex with me. I'm so close to the end, and all I want is to get laid for the last time. I have pornographic movies in my apartment, and lubricants, and amyl nitrite...

Looking at that article it is fairly clear that there is an edit war being waged... I wouldn't trust for NPOV personally.
Atmospheric nuclear expolisions can also cause a spike in C14... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-14
The obvious answer is that earth was nuked in the year 775!!!

Auto-add to DHS watchlist.
If the US DoD are purchasing electronic components on the secondary market from marketplaces like ICSource, IC2IC and posting RFQ's with NATO part numbers expecting the Chinese vendors to decipher them and then interpret the MIL standards they specify with complete accuracy then they need their heads checked.
Vendors peddling re-manufactured / recycled stock or stock with modified date codes will be the least of their worries.
If they expect that level of accuracy and QC with no effort on their part then they should stick to buying components directly from the original manufacturer.
And if the manufacturer EOL's a critical component for your $10B aircraft then make damned sure you stock up before the last buy production run is gone!
H. R. 347, better known to those in the DC beltway as the 'Trespass Bill' — potentially makes peaceable protest anywhere in the U.S. a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. H. R. 347, and it's companion senate bill S. 1794, make protest of any type potentially a federal offense with anywhere from a year to 10 years in federal prison, providing it occurs in the presence of elites brandishing Secret Service protection, or during an officially defined 'National Special Security Event' (NSSE). NSSEs , ( an invention of Bill Clinton) are events which have been deemed worthy of Secret Service protection, which previously received no such treatment... Past NSSE events included the funerals of Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan, and the national security concern that was Superbowl XXXVI. Other NSSE protected events include the Academy Awards and the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions... HR 347 & S. 1794 insulates such events as the G-8, WTO and presidential conventions against tough questions and politically justified protests.

America should just increase it's printing of money. China is just a little bitch that doesn't have the balls to float their currency.
China / North Korea are already better at printing US currency than the US Treasury (i.e. Superdollars) so why bother floating the RMB... What better way to get around pesky sanctions and embargoes.
And from the POV of them being able to print both currencies the value of the USD vs the RMB genuinely would have a fixed cost / exchange value.
Regarding the rare earth metals they are just protecting their economic environment.. nothing wrong or suspect with that.
Look at Kodak as a prime example of what happens when you choose one thing and focus on it.
Kodak is a prime example of a company whose core business model (profiting primarily from service [processing etc.] and consumables) became non-viable and who failed to restructure their offering quickly enough to avoid bankruptcy.
This will likely also happen to certain players in the movie, broadcast (i.e. TV) and news/media industries if they don't work quickly to restructure their business models.
