Topic: China Owns Us: How the Chinese Are Buying Up America (Read 122 times)
In fact, the whole world is already addicted to the needle of goods from China! So Americans are not the only ones "suffering".
China is not only conquering America but slowly the whole world why? because there the labor costs almost nothing so even the products cost less even if perhaps of lower quality, how can world stem the excessive economic and commercial power of China? by putting duties/tax on the products exported by them
Also China has been buying % of local borough government councils in the UK. The Chinese are definitely taking over, everything becomes suspicious about recent trade deal disputes with the US. Corona Virus as a biological war tool too? My mind is open to all possibilities, I do not believe MSM.
China can own parts of the US, but they cant own the people! well unless one of our presidents is bought out but lets say he cant be bought, GREAT! we can keep some semblance of freedom for however long, till someone shills another conspiracy theory.
Chinese people(honk kong citizens) themselves are fighting for in HK, they don't want every part of their life to be government run, they want the freedom we have in the US, which allegedly is becoming restricted, i live in a more rural state so i dont see too much governing other than your casual policing, but it's a long time coming before we have cctv cams on every corner of the states, need i remind you that America makes a ton off its current policing, tickets, citations, warning, laws that make no sense, ects. all payed by citizen and if you cant pay - payed by public citizens. Is a shit storm brewing... or just fomo and fud

when discussing china I see that the country is very fast-developing...
even Chinese citizens are scattered in almost all cities in the world, they are famous for their diffuse nature. The US is free land, so there is no reason for them to ban Chinese citizens there. I am curious about China's relationship with the US after Biden was elected president.

Looks like they're getting ready in the event that the Dems mandate electric vehicles. I'd say they're pretty happy with the way things turned out for them.
China has been looking forward for 30 plus years. They have been very strategic in terms of inserting themselves in almost every level of production and supply.

The people in that free land spend almost a trillion dollars a year to keep it unfree.

China owns most of the world at this point. Over the last decade they have put substantial investment and development in parts of Africa, South America and a lot of Australia. Just the way things are going at the moment the USA is too busy domestically and the majority of the world does not want to or cannot compete with China.
The People’s Republic of China isn’t exactly a favorite of the American public. Since the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak of early 2020, Americans are questioning whether or not all of that cheap plastic junk from Wal-Mart doesn’t come with a hidden cost.
It’s not just about the virus: There is also the spectre of deindustrialization, which has been a social disaster for the United States, particularly the rust belt. What’s more, Tucker Carlson and others reported during the early days of the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak that the United States was dependent on China for basic medical supplies, such as penicillin.
Carlson’s comments are incredibly important, especially when we begin drilling down further into just how reliant the United States is on China: 97 percent of all antibiotics and 80 percent of all active ingredients in American pharmaceuticals come from China. In 2017 alone, the United States imported a whopping $4.6 billion in foodstuffs from the People’s Republic of China.
The corporate press has largely been silent on this matter, which isn’t surprising: They have a long history of sympathy for the People’s Republic of China and virtually all enemies of America and liberty. But there is also a deep presence by the People’s Republic of China in the United States, both in our media and in our economy, specifically in the real estate market.
If it sounds insane to you that United States laws allow a hostile foreign power to own both media and land in this country, well, you’re not alone. And while it might sound like we’re making a mountain out of a molehill, if you read the following article you will probably be amazed at just how deep the rabbithole of Chinese influence in the American media and economy goes.
This is nothing less than the defining national security issue of our age.
China Buying U.S. Land: How Much Land Does China Own in the U.S.?
American prosperity has largely been built on a dual foundation: cheap land, expensive labor. Until Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Act of 1965, Ronald Reagan’s Amnesty of 1986 and NAFTA opened up the floodgates of Third World immigration (both legal and illegal) this formula basically held firm.
When there was not enough labor, employers had to pay more rather than simply importing massive amounts of cheap labor from countries with little in the way of worker protections.
The same laws allowing for a massive influx of cheap labor have also destabilized the American real estate market: More buyers means more demand means higher prices for those looking to buy a home.
There are a myriad of social consequences from this, chief among them that family formation is more expensive and thus less attainable for the average young American worker in the 21st Century than it was in years past.
But beyond this, there is the problem of allowing foreign nationals to own real estate in the United States, a practice that is outlawed in a number of countries. Where foreign nationals are allowed to own real estate, there are often restrictions on where they can buy and how much they can own.
The reasons for this hardly need explaining, but we will do so anyway: First, the citizens of a nation have first claim on the land there. Second, it is potentially dangerous to allow too much of a nation’s land to fall into the hands of foreigners.
Currently 30 million acres of American farmland is owned by foreign investors or fully 2.2 percent of all American farmland. For context, that’s an area roughly the size of Mississippi or Pennsylvania These are effectively absentee landlords who own some of the best real estate in the United States.
For its part, China owned 191,000 acres worth $1.9 billion as of 2019. This might not sound like a lot, but Chinese ownership of American farmland has exploded dramatically over the last decade. Indeed, there has been a tenfold expansion of Chinese ownership of farmland in the United States in less than a decade.
Six states — Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota and Oklahoma — currently ban foreign ownership of farmland.
Massive Chinese investment in American farmland is troubling for one very obvious reason: It puts the food security of the nation in the hands of a hostile foreign power. But there is also the social cost of allowing foreign buyers who have effectively unlimited resources to compete on the real estate market with smaller domestic buyers.
It is understandable if no one reading this has any tears to shed for Big Aggie, but the real victims of this are smaller landholders. For those concerned about environmental issues, ask yourself who is more likely to practice good stewardship of the land — American farmers or Chinese bureaucrats thousands of miles away.
Chinese Real Estate Investors in the U.S.
In addition to their farmland holdings, China owns more residential real estate than any other foreign country, which has a significant impact on the real estate market on the West Coast. Sound far-fetched?
According to Market Watch, “Chinese buyers accounted for roughly 25 percent of total foreign investment in U.S. residential real estate.” Canada was far behind at a relatively scant 9 percent.
The article specifically mentions Chinese investment in California real estate as a driving force behind high housing prices in the Golden State. It’s worth noting that many of these properties are owned as rental properties by absentee landlords. Again, who is going to care more about the quality of tenant life?
An American down the street or a Chinese bureaucrat thousands of miles away?
