China Owns Us: How the Chinese Are Buying Up America
Libertas Bella ^ | 1/22/2021 | Sam Jacobs

Posted on 01/22/2021 6:00:30 PM PST by libertasbella

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.

Well they would like to but when all this crazy drama shakes out likely we will be confiscating all those assets under one of Trumps EO’s about foreign influence. The number escapes me at the moment.

Republican Free Traitors™ must have a come to Jesus moment and admit any possible economic advantage gained over the decades, decades of US worker misery in lowered wages and opportunities, of offshoring and so called “free trade” with enemies like China was completely wiped out in 2020, mostly because of the China virus.

That’s why Cuomo and all the other Democrat governors and mayors are doing everything they can to destroy their property values.

So their ChiCom masters can buy it all up for pennies on the dollar.

Or we could just nationalize their assets like we did to the Germans in WWI and WWII. For instance the 1903 was nothing but a Mauser knock-off and we never paid a dime in patent royalties. But we have to wait at least four years to do the same thing again.

There are still bits of the RNC that haven’t sold out.

You cannot be a prominent Democrat these days without your proverbial 30 pieces of silver.

I’m so afraid that we in America are in denial. We have not accepted the seriousness of China

😢😢😢 It’s all so very sad!!!!

China, what we do not know

A Little Known Reality. scary

Source: Michael Snyder, Guest Post

In future China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of
small communities all over the United States . Chinese acquisition of U.S. businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.

The Smithfield Foods acquisition is an example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 U.S. states and
it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with approximately 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has
bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America .

Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise
their economic muscle.

It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between “the Chinese government” and “Chinese corporations”. In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese
government had a controlling interest in.

Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6 billion to purchase AMC entertainment – one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Now that Chinese company controls more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.

But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.
“Economic beachheads” are being established all over America . For example,
Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100 million plant in Thomasville , Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomasville , Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on communist China .

And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots?
Detroit.
Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle
technology, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail
stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers. If you recently purchased an “American-made” vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers operating in the United States .

China seems particularly interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.
For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee.
Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee. At the time, that acquisition really didn’t
make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal.

And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now China is actually
building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk , the capital of Belarus.

Are you starting to get the picture?

China is on the rise. If you doubt this, just read the following:
# When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.
# Overall, the U.S. has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 2.3 trillion dollars.
# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.
# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.
# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles
as the United States does.
#After being bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.
# China is the number one gold producer in the world.
# The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic team were made in China.
# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.
# The new World Trade Center tower in New York is going
to include glass imported from China .
# China now consumes more energy than the United States does.
# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.
# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.
# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.
# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much
steel as the United States does.
# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.
# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.
# In published scientific research articles China is expected to become number one in the world very shortly.

And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg.

For now, I will just leave you with one piece of advice - learn to speak Chinese.
You are going to need it


Have a Very Blessed Day!!!!

“I had a dream” as a child over half a century ago. Only one of two I remember in my lifetime. It caused me to immediately tell my folks and my brother and sister. . my brother and sister remember it still. I was standing by a plane in our yard north of our home in the country . . . only a few yards from the house. I don’t remember any wheels on it. It was a huge plane with a long row of windows. The passengers were staring at me, all of them moving their heads in unison side to side in a continuous motion. Their facial expression, everything looked exactly the same. . . Chinese. I can still envision it. Perhaps this was a dream for today.
