The building’s new owner, Philip Qiu, has held numerous positions within Chinese intelligence and state security arms, according to university records and DCNF translations of Chinese government announcements.

Qiu did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

They list the guy's resume.

Bigger question: who allowed this to happen, and how compromised are they?

I would imagine someone in our government who is focused on taking down our government.

Lawmakers and security analysts have urged federal authorities to formally investigate the real estate transaction, noting that gaps in U.S. laws allow foreign-linked entities to purchase commercial property near vital government infrastructure.

A seller and a buyer agree on a price. The line goes up and big number get bigger. You know, the most important metic to measuring the health of the country. Imagine if they didn’t sell it to the Chinese, line might have gone down and big number get smaller. This would be very bad for our country.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say, but it comes across as pretty stupid...Almost as stupid as allowing the sale.

Why would he want steps from the White House?

Not bad. I would argue you actually understood it pretty well, even if you didn’t realize it.

The Purloined Letter is an 1844 detective short story by Edgar Allan Poe. It is the third and final tale featuring master sleuth C. Auguste Dupin. In Paris, the police fail to find a stolen, blackmail-heavy letter. Dupin recovers it by realizing the thief hid it openly in plain sight.

Maybe there's a dozen of these all very well-hidden in DC and the CCP has let this one see the light of day as a distraction to draw attention away from all the others.

I’ve been selling & leasing commercial and industrial properties for over 35 years. People acan agree on price for a multitude of reasons. Nonetheless, I don’t know what you’re trying to say. Please enlighten me.

This sale needs to be stopped for reasons of national security.

Apologies. Why should I, as a hypothetical seller, not sell to the highest bidder? I can understand why you may theoretically not want to on some principled or moral reason. However lets assume that doesn’t apply to me. I am strictly in it for those little green rectangles made of linen and cotton.
