This is what happens when one country runs a huge trade surplus with the USA. The "Anbang Insurance Group" is buying such luxury hotels as the Del Coronado near San Diego and the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco. Last year, they paid $1.95 billion for the Waldorf Astoria. See link.

LA Times

Foreign countries are recycling US dollars by buying US manufacturing companies, commercial and residential real estate, US stocks and bonds (and the income stream from same), US Treasury paper, etc etc. If this "free trade" nonsense keeps going, foreigners will own the USA.

The political classes have betrayed the people but the people keep voting for them.

Nothing wrong with this. Buy more please!

LOL. Last time the Japanese did the same thing and they almost lost all their money as they soon found out it was not that easy to run a profitable business. The Japanese sold many properties for loss.

All this investment is fine so long as we restrict the owners to spending the profits in this country and not taking them home to China.

They will spend money on the upkeep and running of those businesses, which includes property taxes. Most times it's a net positive for the US.

Wait, what? NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement? China is not in North America.

By the way, we didn't give them our manufacturing jobs. Liberals constantly raise the minimum wages and push for more regulations, causing labor cost to go higher, so businesses run because American consumers refuse to pay more money for their products.

People don't understand how real the ONE WORLD threat is.

Without protectionist policies, you will see the Chinese and other
foreign interests buy all remaining American land
then they will buy ALL THE MORTGAGES.

There is no future for an America with globalist policies.

Even right now we are under a globalist BANKING cartel
which OWNS all the land and "unpaid" mortgages.

Think about this. The banks OWN IT ALL and we have to buy
it from THEM - when they did NOTHING to take it from us
what they did was buy all the politicians !!!!!!!

America is not free !!!! We are SLAVES to BANK MONEY !!!!!!

The Chinese people are not beholden to a foreign bank like we
are to the Federal Reserve which is a FOREIGN BANK.
They can print money and buy all American assets unless they
are restricted by laws which do not currently exist !

They have bought much of Central America and Africa already.

we are so screwed.

Nice way to kill investment.

I work for a Japanese multinational that has invested millions in my plant alone.I would say there are about 60 employees at my plant. Triple what it was when the Japs purchased it.

If you wish you can invest in the Chinese stock market. I wouldn't. The small amount I had invested in emerging markets I finally dumped completely.
