#3 It’s almost as if the DOJ is acting in the interest of the CCP.

#8 There are two separate issues here:
1) If the US government has jurisdiction over interstate commerce then it certainly has an interest on foreign commerce, viz. foreign investment. How far this law intrudes on US Treaty level powers is up to the courts, I guess.

2) Seigniorage. When you convert currencies from one one country to another, for example USD$ to RMB there are 'problems'. Why convert the growing trade surplus USD$ when you can just buy local things that can be resold later at a premium? The Opium Wars with China was caused by a seignourage imbalance because the Chinese refused (officially) to accept foreign goods and only wanted silver -- the (unofficial) workaround was the illicit opium trade. In this case the ban on Chinese land ownership is kind of ironic don't you think?

#9 /\ ...3) Chinese cultural memory: this may 'sell' well as a domestic political issue in Florida but I really can't estimate how much of a raw nerve this will hit in China. "Evil gweilo disrespecting the Middle Kingdom" and the Opium Wars can still trigger responses.

#10 Given they're totalitarian commies and unleashed a bioweapon on the world, my sympathy level is a bit low. F' em. Think we could purchase land near a Chinese Military base?

#11 Some real estate taxing jurisdictions assign different tax rates for non-resident property owners. Is there any legal reason such jurisdictions can't tax foreign owned real estate at 500% of value -- every year.

#13 DoJ got this one right.

'...within ten miles of any "military installation" or "critical infrastructure facility" '

BFD, so the Chinese will own land 11 miles away.

#18 Some states have in place for a while banning foreign ownership of land or farm land. Maybe Bill G. is fronting for the latter.

#19 IIRC Communist mainland China does not allow 'ownership' of property -- you lease for up to 99 years. Practically, of course, the oligarchs 'own it until a cabal in the CCP decides to take it back.

#21 Joe's poetry is a type of poetry that is often considered to be the worst in the universe. It is sometimes used as a torture method, causing physical pain to the hearer. swks is credited to creating the worst Joe poetry, which perished when his world exploded after Herb insisted that Chinese food in China is superior to Panda Garden.
