In the US, the "owners" of this house would have been dragged out by the cops at gunpoint long before this stage of construction.

I have been hearing rumors that Hr 169 would allow Obama to grant eminent domain powers to China, that effectively we have just given them the power to forclose on us and take everything away if they desire. If this is true, then in 3 years USA will belong to Peoples republic of China.
Can anyone verify this?
Its theft, nothing more.
I need some sources
Not only that, but they were able to name all the VPs at Bank of America yesterday, and Steinbrenner sold them the Yankees!
“Can anyone verify this?”
No. But I can say that it would be unconstitutional if he did. Eminent domain does not give the right of foreclosure anyway. The government has still got to compensate you even if it takes your land.
Are you in the market for a bridge? ;-)
OMG!
THEY’RE COMING TO TAKE ALL THEIR WAL-MART STUFF BACK! QUICK, HIDE THE $49.99 PLASTIC PATIO SET!
Yawn. This again?
If it did end up being true, the chicoms are not so stupid as to claim land that is already taken. They will quietly build something on some government land somewhere in montana or idaho. It will be done secretly and we won’t know about it until there is a chinese strip mine or factory someplace in america with plenty of UN soldiers to protect them.
And when they start landing marines from the planet Zod, it will be curtains for us.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say Hillary promised or appeared to promise the Chinese the “rights” of access or the rights to goods and profits they might generate from US property ..... in exchange for their investments
(Making our workers serfs under Chinese management)
Watch for highly preferential Chinese “investment” or commercial ventures in US farmland, ports, and perhaps coal mines
Zod? What religion is that?
Free Repulbic’s ultimate nemisis: Chinese Hispanic Muslim people.
LOL.... a bunch of “You-Tubers” passing for “documentation”.... :-)
Spanish speaking communists chinese muslims? Yikes! They’re probably gun grabbing abortionists too, eh?
It would’nt surprise you would it?
Just to put it out there, no one can own or claim land until they put an 18 year old with a rifle on it. I just don’t see it happening.
Hi K-oneTexas, you quoted an article for us and it said — On February 11, Bloomberg Business News reported that China was seeking “guarantees” for its US Government debt (Story Here), and it now appears they got it. Well placed senior sources at the US Embassy in Beijing CONFIRM the formal written agreement was delivered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her recent trip to China.

Note that the Bloomberg article started off this way —
Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) — China should seek guarantees that its $682 billion holdings of U.S. government debt won’t be eroded by “reckless policies,” said Yu Yongding, a former adviser to the central bank.
The U.S. “should make the Chinese feel confident that the value of the assets at least will not be eroded in a significant way,” Yu, who now heads the World Economics and Politics Institute at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in response to e-mailed questions yesterday from Beijing. He declined to elaborate on the assurances needed by China, the biggest foreign holder of U.S. government debt.

So, it’s apparent that they’re talking about their worries about inflation coming from our printing presses. They’re probably seeking assurances that we’ll “boost” the payments to offset any “inflation” that we create by “our policies”. In other words, if our inflation rate is way high because of all the borrowing, then they’ll probably want something to offset the inflation rate for what they are loaning out. What that means, unfortunately, is *more money* — but *absolutely nothing* indicates *anything* about eminent domain issues... LOL...
THEN, you’ll note that your article that you quoted in your post says — “Well placed senior sources at the US Embassy in Beijing CONFIRM the formal written agreement was delivered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her recent trip to China.”
HECK! It doesn’t *even say* -— WHAT — was contained in the delivered document. Note that carefully. The writers of this story have “spun” the so-called news that some document was delivered to the Chinese into a story that it supposedly backs up what they’re saying... LOL...
On top of that, the *source* is those so-called “well placed senior sources” ... double LOL...
With that kind of attribution, I could make up *any story I wanted* out of absolutely nothing and make it sound like I’ve sold the entire country of the United States to space aliens of another space civilization and the UFOs we’ve been seeing are them coming in to collect the debt... :-)
This is a phoney-baloney story. And you know it’s a phoney-baloney story when you’ve got people quoting “You-Tubers” for authoritative sources...
They will have to buy the coal mines from the Russians.
I saw that ‘private agreement’ and really got me wondering. I hadn’t seen anything before and only found these on a Google search.
I could only hope it was false ... however, I wouldn’t put anything past this Administration or the Clinton’s.
