Well, if the envoy says so that’s alright then.

The rent seeking by foreign investors isn't affecting our agricultural policy differently from rent seeking by local investors.

Listen, if you want to do Maoism in the United States, I'm sure you'll find more than a few Chinese Communists who think that's just dandy. But take a piece of turf overworked by undocumented migrants for sub-living wage until the soil erodes and local water reserves are exhausted in order to produce stock feed for beef cows. Does it become a good farm because Bill Gates or Muhammad bin Salman owns it, but a bad farm because Jack Ma owns it?

I honestly don't see a difference from their billionaires owning our farms and our billionaires owning our farms. Neither will give a shit. The fact that corporations and individuals are allowed to have that much control over humanities agriculture is the issue.

I ain't no shepooh lover but the way American elites behave... I see them as an immediate threat to personal well being.

At least Chinaman knows how to invest and make products. Our dear leaders just steal taxpayer money and sell us trash while pretending they are the best.

Entire house of cards if build on IP portfolios that china is rapidly gaining on. Complement elites would rather focus on building a facist regime
