China “Pwns” Us: How the Chinese are Buying Up America

[Talyn]

The People’s Republic of China isn’t exactly a favorite of the American public. Since the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak of early 2020, Americans are questioning whether or not all of that cheap plastic junk from Wal-Mart doesn’t come with a hidden cost.

It’s not just about the virus: There is also the spectre of deindustrialization, which has been a social disaster for the United States, particularly the rust belt.

There's another parallel narrative to this as well - anyone who has a significant amount of money in China is trying to do everything they can to get that money our of yuen and into something else, preferably something relatively common and stable, hence purchasing U.S. real estate in U.S. dollars. There are no doubt many overlapping CCP agendas going on (and we should trust none of them), but there are also just a lot of investors who know keeping their money in China is a really dumb long-term idea, especially given the obvious factors at play with both the Chinese economy and Chinese demographics.

So I think there is a bizarre mix of CCP expansionism going on, mixed with private investment with a different agenda (to the degree that's possible for Chinese citizens).

On a related note, I just read this morning that more than half Americans (52%) between the ages of 18 -29 regularly get their news from TikTok. That absolutely terrifies me.

Another platform that should be banned.
Our glorious Illinois governor recently gave a Chinese EV battery company with strong tues to the CCP something like a 1/2 billion (Illinois) dollars of our hard earned tax money in incentives and tax deferment. We're being sold out left and right to the communist parties in one shape or another.
