  1. The democrats socialist party love chinese government

  2. They are coming in illegally from across the border of Mexico according to the news yesterday.

  3. This guy don't care him and Cooper are in the bed together

  4. They'll just buy it through other countries, We should ban all countries from owning land in our country

  5. Why no backlash over all the white Canadians that have bought houses in Florida?

  6. I heard China was asking Biden the cost of the White House.😊

  7. China Dad: Hey son! How is school in the US. Did you get the Bugatti I sent you for driving to school?
    China Son: Dad they all take the train to school.
    China Dad: What! Tomorrow I send you money to buy a train, you need to save face. My son must own a train like everyone else.

  8. A US citizen its about near impossible to buy land in China. Why are we allowing them to buy American soil? and Who is selling it to them?

  9. Banning Chinese entities buying US land is ok, but banning private citizens who are family members of US citizens from owning land or property just because of their nationality is 100% discrimination is not even constitutional!

  10. When I lived in DTLA in 2015-2016, there was 8 highrise apartments being built, before they were finished 90% of all of them were already prepurchased by Chinese kids. for a while DTLA was being filled with Asian people. Met a 17 year old chinese girl drove a Ferrari California that was going to school at FIDM and owned a $2 million dollar apartment. Asian rich kids put white kids to shame. I'm more the exception lol. Everyone in my neighborhood under 25 years old owns a Tesla, while being unemployed.

  11. I don’t understand why outsiders are allowed to purchase land in the United States. It’s not like citizens that are buying land, it’s companies who are buying property. And why are we only focusing on China, seriously, there are other countries who are way more dangerous that own several properties (and in my opinion are causing the housing crisis because NO ONE is keeping an eye out on who owns what and the amount of properties are being bought). The lack of common sense and transparency is unbelievable, this is why our country is a fire dumpster because of the system.

  12. Let’s Go Biden and the Democratic Party. This is an Act of War against the Citizens of the United States 🇺🇸. Biden and the Democratic Party are Treasonous against the Citizens of the United States 🇺🇸. How Pathetic. Pure Ignorance.

  13. We should not let countries which don’t allow Americans to own land or property in their country to own any in ours.

    In China’s case, we should outright ban any of their companies or government officials from owning anything in ours. They are not our friends !

  14. I hope they ban all Chinese and others from buying land in the US. This just shows how easily the US can be manipulated and they lack aggressiveness. America will sell ANYTHING and ANYONE in order to make some profit. 😂

  15. This also applies to housing :/

  16. The racism is hilarious. We should have a problem with the way corporations are snatching up all real estate. The law or laws we should impose would fix both problems simultaneously. But instead of even discussing those solutions we are dawdling in racist red herring (that sounds like a dish).

  17. Ban non-citizen estate purchase, please. Keep them for locals.

  18. But he don't tell you. China is building bases in Cuba, and China is sending over young men by the hundreds every day. According to a border agent on TV that has increased 1000%. China has police stations in America. Some day you people will have to face the truth.

  19. Do any American Companies own land in China?

  20. I can't believe to think why they thought that this would be a good idea? Now they want to do something about it?

  21. Non-residents should NOT be able to purchase ANY land outside their country. This is why starter homes are now half a million dollar homes…

  22. Wait for it….They are building 6 lane highways in the jungle of South America too.

  23. China will become the dominant force because of their disciplined students and economic power. They don't need to run around attacking Muslim and African countries, they just focus on themselves.

  24. Dodge/Jeep isn't an US owned company either.

  25. If you aren't an American citizen, then you shouldn't be allowed to buy a property period. Many nations ban anyone thats not a Citizen from purchasing Land and Housing. American should also ban foreigners from buying land.

  26. Who's the fool here? The US or China? I say China's the fool to buy land and investments in the US. It's not a question of IF, it's a question of WHEN there will be a proxy war between US and China over Taiwan. When that happens, the US will confiscate all Chinese assets in the US… just like the west did to Russians over Ukraine. So Chinese are stupid to buy and invest in the US. Chinese Americans will be put into interment camps… like what happened to Japanese Americans during WW2.

  27. And I thought Mexicans crossing was bad . Now this is worse worse

  28. India owns all the rest of USA, REALIZE!!!!!

  29. No countries should be able to buy American land.

  30. That’s crazy. People running this country are clowns

  31. It's all about money the u s doesn't care

  32. They do not allow Americans to buy land in China, So they shouldn't be able to buy ours any of our land including real estate

  33. THEY WERE DEFINITELY SCOTTING THE U.S.A. AREA.
    THAT'S WHY I SAY," THE U.S.A. HAVE BEEN BOMBARDING. FROM OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. BECAUSE OF THE AMERICAN CITIZENS BEING FREE TO DO WHAT THEY PLEASE. LIKE BRINGING ILLEGAL ALIENS INTO THE U.S.A. SOME GO AND GET MARRIED IN RUSSIA AND ALSO IN CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES, THAT ARE KNOWN NOT TO BE SO FRIENDLY TO THE U.S.A!!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

  34. No one who is not a citizen should be able to buy or long-term lease US real estate, not just Chinese. The only exception should be limited to housing transactions for people with green cards or Visas to occupy personally. Why should US be for sale?

  35. How many Americans have land in china

  36. Foreigners cannot purchase Chinese land, why are they allowed to buy America's land?

  37. Do we have anything in China owned by Americans? If not then this should NOT BE ALLOWED

  38. So do republicans want to abandon free market capitalism or just regulate it?

  39. Why do any foreign nationals own us land?
