No offense but govt should forbid this purchase for national security reasons.

Let them have it. If they do anything we don’t like, nationalize it and take it back.

Has anyone told them there is oil in California? Would prefer they not be permitted anywhere in the U.S. and most certainly not in Texas. Who do you think in the current government will say no?

I can’t decide on this one. The more vested interest in the US, the less the chance for war with China and the more bargaining power we have regarding those fake island china has been making.

But national security is a concern.

amazing china hasn’t realized yet that if they let go of the communist nonsense they could see 10 percent growth, at least in the beginning.

Ongoing reforms, my aunt fanny. The Chinese government is as rapacious as it always was with any money going to the big shots, NEVER to anyone else.

Maybe I am older but I remember the same kind of reaction when the Japanese were investing in the USA...

They cannot take it back home, the see the future here and NOT an Islamic one...

They have deep pockets and if they can keep our oil production up as they will to recover their funding then they will have snubbed the plan to put Saudis in a controlling position...

Investment money is investment money, they are not gonna import a buncha their foke to come over..

Sorry, I talk oil I go back to Texas...

If they were just investing in a company that sounds OK, but they are purchasing land. They have been buying real estate like crazy all over this country for several years too. They can take advantage of our private property rights here but do American investors have those rights in China?

Great post. I agree.

It’s gonna be american workers and it seems like if you wanted to imminently go to war with a country, you wouldn’t invest a fortune there and have it confiscated.

You sound like Trump. Can’t wait to hear him on this deal and repeat what you just said. Conservatives are already alarmed at our own government sucking up land use for parks. This deal is wide open for concern.
