There was a similar panic about Japan buying up all of New York a few decades back. It didn’t pan out. It’s still there.

—”There was a similar panic about Japan buying up all of New York... It’s still there. “

At that time the reply was, sell it, they cannot take it back to Japan.
And Yes it is still there.

Some Japanese did buy The Pebble Beach Golf Club back then, causing panic in some circles. They paid $8 billion, sold it for $4 billion a few years later.
