Watch for the same in the US. Not to mention residential and commercial real estate.

Last month, Chinese firm Jingye Group bought out British Steel. Former Prime Minister David Cameron and former Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne allowed Chinese state-run companies to invest in British nuclear power plants.

This, if no barriers, would be the last nail in the coffin. Checkmate. China wins. Wake up America! Wake up Western Europe!

That's the first thing I thought of when all these businesses are getting slammed and have to sell off assets...
To who?
China has the cash.

China already owns the Chicago Stock Exchange, Smithfield Foods, AMC Theaters, and GE Appliances.

Chinese direct investment (includes divestments)
2016--46 billion
2017--29 billion
2018--4.8 billion
2019 will probably end up a net negative, they had sales of 20 billion in assets still pending the end of 2018.
China was strapped for cash before this mess started, and I believe the virus will have a much worse long term effect on them than the US. Net net, they dont have money to buy shat, if they did they would have started with a larger cash injection domestically.
Trump has also made if very difficult for them to buy ANY company in the US....though I feel you will be able to buy the assets of china telecom's US division pretty cheaply soon.

It would be foolish to deny the US economy of their investments or for that matter the investments of any foreign country.
There was a lot of BS talk about the Japanese "buying America" in eighties.
What is strange is no one whines when the Arabs and Europeans invest here. They have invested far more than have the Chinese.
One very good thing Trump did was to lower the corporate tax rate so that it is not as profitable as it once was for foreign companies to own US businesses.
One thing to remember is they have the dollars and if we want the dollars back to the US we should not stand in their way.

The Chinese are communist. That’s a big difference.

How does lowering the corporate tax rate make it less profitable for foreign ownership of US corporations?

1. Sell all the property we can to China on the condition that they pay in bullion
2. Once bullion is in our possession nationalize everything we sold to them
3. Ask them if they'd like to purchase anything else

See note 2 in above post ^^
The Pacific Ocean, a formidable submarine fleet and the 2nd amendment constitute a pretty strong barrier.

The Chinese are also hostile to our interests and are predatory merchantilists.

You really must have dual citizenship, or something.
Hell, with how much pro-CCP propaganda you post on here, I wouldn’t be surprised if they offered you citizenship just because.

China has every intention to use this crisis to strengthen China's Global Strategic economic and military power.
The West is powerless to stop it, because there are no laws in place to prevent further sell-out of the national economic power of the western nations.
Does the USA have any such legal protection to prohibit such sell-outs? Even if the USA did have some legal regime in place, wouldn't the Greed of our own politicians work to circumvent such legal protections?
Of course it would.
