I’m sorry to say that the attitude expressed here is very silly. This is in fact very good news.

Foreign investment is a GOOD THING.

The only arguments against it are either paleo-Marxist fantasies or purely emotional hyper-tribalism.

I spent a good part of my youth trying to get foreign investment into a semi-scoialist third-world country, fighting attitudes like this.

Foreign investment is only a good thing, if Americans also have reciprocal rights in the investing countries.

Most of the countries currently “investing” in America, do not permit foreign ownership, nor foreign imports. In fact, most of what is currently being referred to as “free trade”, is a one-way sellout of America.

That’s not a good thing.

That’s getting mugged!

We need to shut down this monstrosity.

NOW.

And do you consider the ownership of America’s debt by “foreign investment” a good thing? Who really owns America? And now we want to sell MORE of it to “foreign investment”. And what makes buying America such a great deal? Ah, yes, the value of our currency. And who manages that in reality?
