      While I don't disagree that trying to pass a law against it is wrong, I also don't think trying to exert social pressure to keep people from parting out American assets directly to foreign interests is necessarily a bad thing either

      you think someone named "Deplorable Sarah" tweeting on this hellsite is going to exert some influence that keeps a 72 year old farmer from listing his farm with a real estate firm?

      Fuck no, I meant as a general philosophical thing All our high ideals don't matter at the end of the day if we end up selling everything to the ChiComs

      So long as they can't physically take the land away, this seems like a fairly minor concern.

      I dunno, if it works like anywhere else they start buying property it begins with a couple scattered acres and ends with owning 3/4 of the land in a given area and all the infrastructure on it

      ok, so let's imagine that some German firm ends up owning 2 square miles of Alabama soybean fields so what?

      A German firm buying a couple soybean farms isn't the same concern as a bunch of Chinese state backed shell companies gradually buying an entire county

      the real estate in the US is worth 10 or 20 times the entire Chinese economy

      I said county, not country. I also feel like that's kind of relative, you could probably by half of Wyoming for what you'd spend on a block in NYC But with what a lot of Chinese firms and speculators get up to extra-nationally I'm not really convinced the official GDP of China

      western analysts make guesses at Chinese GDP based on coal power plan smoke plumes, etc. we could be wrong by 10 or 20%, but they're not 10x bigger than we think

          That's why I don't trust it at all. Domestic industry isn't taking into account things like massive petrochemical plants and company towns in Africa held by foreign flagged shell companies and security firms made up of expatriated "ex"PLA members
