How does one spell Smithfield in Chinese?

The Chinese have offered $34.00 a share or about 447 million dollars for Smithfield, the world's largest producer of hos and pork products.  Isn't it bad enough that everything we buy is made in China and our country is bankrolled by China but now part of our food supply will be controlled by China as well. 

Exactly who is the strongest and most influential country in the world? China is a world power but not through politics or military might but through business.  It seems we are gladly giving ourselves over to a country that dislikes us.  I really think we need to stop and think long and hard about what is going on here. 

Of course this may be a good thing too because China can never afford to attack the USA.  We owe her too much money and China's business can't survive it she destroys her business base.  In forty years I can just imagine someone making a phone call and receiving this message:  for Chinese press one, for Spanish, press two.  I can also imagine the caller responding "This is America and we speak Spanish.  If I wanted to speak Chinese I'd move   to Africa."
