Can you imagine granting ANY company an 80-year contract...

This is the Red Chinese model of government. I kid you not.

Red China? Napoleonic France was part of Red China? And Nederland ~ 90% of all the land is leased from the government.

Did you perhaps get it backward ~ that Red China adopted a pre-existing land management system well known in Europe for CENTURIES.

They do it this way in Louisiana too ~ 90 year land leases are common.
