Yeah. The Chinese are all about face and symbolism.
So they're building a replica of the Forbidden City here -- their White House and Capitol, their Houses of Parliament and Quai d'Orsai and Reichstag all rolled into one. Right here. In Texas.
Penny drop yet, pardner?
You bet. And that grinning Gump of a mayor of Anna either had no clue or had no backbone.

Oh, and ..... it's going to be the biggest city in Texas when it's done. Did you get that? Was that part translated right? How many sections in that acreage, boys? It's a bunch. I make it, what, 390 sections, i.e. 390 square miles? -- 39 miles by 10 miles, or about 20 x 20 miles? It'll swallow McKinney. It won't be as extensive as Houston by some way (about 25 x 35 miles, right at 50 miles as the crow flies from NW to SE), but how many people is it supposed to have? When the Chinese companies signed the Panama Canal port-management contracts, they brought over Chinese personnel to fill the jobs.
Is this beginning to dawn on anybody yet, what these guys are going to do?
Now, did anyone on this thread ever hear of "the Anaconda Plan"? Anybody here able to tell me what that was, and why it was significant?
Or try it this way......what would be the geostrategic significance of a Chinese economic zone, which also would be a major duty-free commercial artery, absolved of U.S. law and only partially under U.S. control, run either directly or through nominees by Chinese companies studded with serving Chinese PLA officers operating the zone under contracts protected by international and treaty law, bisecting the United States down its geographical middle?
Hello? Anybody want to try that one? Any takers?

Our State and our Country are being outsourced!!!
Its like I was alluding to the other day...Texas is really the last true bastion of conservatism...
The opposition knows this, and this is why they are interjecting themselves in here now in this beachhead to weaken what resolve we have left...
I would have done this the same way if I were them...
Sure...Its allllll under the guise of economic and security pretenses...Surely, nobody wants to curtail that kind of potential...[rolling eyes]
The expotential increases in progressive thinking in this country (over the last 30-40 years) is really starting to overlap and supplant our own culture and conservative ideals...All in the name of some cause or program...Its diffusement of our side of the aisle is probably something we are going to have a hard time regaining, because there are fewer and fewer people willing to step up and make an impact...As individuals we can only do so much...
Its a sad state of affairs...And even if I only see the long-term possibilities of the direction this is heading...The people buying into this garbage wonder why some of us are so adamently opposed to this direction/trend...
Hopefully I make some sense...I’m kinda shooting from the hip this morning...
Never mind...Nothing to see here folks...Move along...Move along...
I must be an idiot...
China Town in the south of Texas, Dallas, Anna, and three nearby Harlingen, a total area of 250,000 acres, or about 180 hectares, equivalent to a new South American economic zones, the project after the success of the United States is the largest city in Texas.
This is gobbledygook. The 180 hectares equals about 444.75 acres. But they're talking 250,000 acres in the same text, and putting a price tag on the project of $US 200,000,000,000.
I've asked a kinsman if he knows anyone who can visit the site and come up with a better translation of the Chinese.
The numbers don't add up. The one aerial photo "ain't all that" -- that's a substantial plot, but nothing like the size indicated by the acreage or investment totals bulleted in the promo blurb. From the babblefish text it sounds like they're planning to import 700,000 Chinese to live in an extraterritorial treaty city 20x20 miles big, right next to DFW, that'd make Denton a suburb of itself and McKinney an appetizer.
The planned area is bigger than the online photos and maps show and more along the lines of 3300 acres for the Anna development.
I wonder if the size mentioned is the total of all the developments they're planning.
