I had not that heard that Chinese interests had purchased Ancestry.com, but it would fit a pattern of collecting that information, as well as generally being a technology that is an intelligence collection priority of the ChiComs.
another point of interest to me is chinese interest purchased about 130,000 acres in val verde county tx.

the curious thing about the purchase (to me) is that this property is in close proximity to a rare earth metals mining operation ($TMRC) Texas Mineral Resources Co. based near Sierra Bianca, TX.
TMRC had a working agreement with (DLA) Defense Logistics Agency to develop rate earth mining operations in the west Texas area.
any idea what’s going on down there?
