Way things are going we will all work for the Chinese one day. Gee, thanks Obama!
I'm curious. How did you get either of these from the article?
The only "trade policy" discussion was with regard to shippers giving extra-low rates to goods headed back across the Pacific to avoid deadheading. That's a company policy, not a national one.
There may be a good discussion to have on the topics you bring up, but not based on this article.
I’d rather they buy our alfalfa than our technology (which they then copy).
I know a guy who just gave away 140 bales of last-year’s alfalfa (to a horse-rescue outfit) because he couldn’t sell it, and needed the room for this year’s crop.
Never could understand this push to move all our economy overseas.
Of course, Red China has so little arable land, they have to import feeds. What is silly is that a lot of that Red China ag ends back here in US....we could use the feed to feed US cattle
It is time to let Chinese cattle ‘starve’. No alfafa until we have unfettered access to Chinese markets on every thing.
And if I want alfalfa for my horses, I want it at the same price the F’n Chinese are paying, less shipping costs, of course!
Are they taking water or wetlands that is needed by some endangered species?
Mr. Shao’s citizenship is a fraud.
Let me know which side he’ll be on in a war with China.
Which tells you all you need to know about whether he should own our land.
I confess I don’t get it. If alfalfa is more valuable in China, why not just buy it at hay auctions like everybody else? Would growing it under contract to ship to China be OK? America’s a big place. Lots of foreigners own American farms, mostly Brits and Dutch, at least as of a few years ago.
Wait I know that since “globalization” there has been less loyalty to our society, and neighbors among the business class, but didn’t this article say that the owner (though Chinese born) was a naturalized US Citizen? I see nothing wrong with him profiting off selling beef to China as long as he’s actually a loyal US Citizen.
