Replying to @MorlockP
Unaccustomed as I am to agreeing with
@MorlockP about political matters….sheesh. What harm can the Chinese do us by owning that farmland? They can’t carry it off, we can regulate it so that they can’t ruin it, and it can be seized or commandeered in a heartbeat if necessary1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -
Replying to @JohnBarnesSF
"can't carry it off" is the core of the point political power flows from the barrel of a gun, and if PRC has the ability to enforce property rights against hostile US regulation / seizure of those farms at some point ... then the game is already lost there is literally >>>

no threat model where this is a problem. also, I like to take a Bastiat-like approach to things and look at the opposite side of each equation - a law forbidding PRC firms from buying forbids Americans from selling anyway
