The haters above probably do not know who their fathers are, hence the hate.

How much are the American National Forests worth in timber and water rights to China?

How about mineral rights in Idaho and Montana?

It is imperative that America keeps China happy or else they may issue Americans an invoice!
How about Wash. DC.

There are FAR too many valuable, efficient federal workers in D.C. to give to the Chinese.

We need to hang on to them.

Because only about 12% of our debt belongs to China? By the way, I wasn't serious about selling Mississippi, sarcasm, learn it, know it, love it.

Actually it is imperative that China keeps America happy. They have done a poor job of developing a domestic market and only are able to keep unemployment low via exports. They also really, really need to be able to buy food from America which is why Chinese presidents pay almost as much attention to Iowa as American presidents do.

Without being able to have an outlet for their goods and a place that can supply them with food they will not last.
