On the real estate end, do you all think they'll be sticking to commercial stuff or grabbing up everything including residential and rural land?

Communist Chinese are already funneling money into political campaign funds and everyone knows it. Some of the more brazen have been caught trying to give money to Hillary Clinton back in the 2008 primary, but of course not much press was dedicated to it.
Ordinarily I'd encourage foreign investment in the USA, but the Communist Chinese represent a system that is the antithesis of our Capitalist Republic. I fully understand the reasoning for recognizing China diplomatically and trying to separate them from the Soviets, which I feel did help lead to the fall of the Soviet Union. However, we may have slain one demon only to fuel another and the rise of China has brought with it a significant threat to our interests in the Pacific. The Chinese are doing many things economically and socially that I believe will bring about their own downfall in short order. The problem is that before they fall they will grow very large and their fall may bring about the next World War. I believe we are helping create a future source of incredible instability in the Pacific that will draw us into a firestorm if we are not careful. |

Direct government investment should be banned.

Maybe they decided to run things themselves since it's clear a significant portion of Americans cannot even think for themselves? It's called investment protection, as they already have quite a bit of money invested in our treasuries, etc.

What's disturbing is that this time, the leadership sees it coming and looks to be trying to whip up a war to cover the collapse. Manned Chinese combat aircraft have violated Japanese airspace 3 days in a row and the Chicoms are saying that if the Japanese shoot down any of their drones, it will be an act of war. Even the US considers taking out our drones to be fair game. |

They'll spend as much as they can here to force their housing bubble to bust. Why? Well, here's my theory China's economy is growing so fast the government can't control communism due to the now extreme economic class amongst its people. It's also getting harder to keep interest rates down and their currency devalued. The government is investing heavily with the peoples money into real estate by building those 22+ metropolitan ghost cities. The people buy them as investment propert, but nobody can afford them. My guess is overnight the Chinese will crash their own economy and the people will lose everything in their housing bubble bust while the government moves all the poor into the now ghost cities, resetting their currency to make more profits and restore communism. They will become a 1st world super power overnight. |

China is buying US assets because they need them, and they need to try to secure as many of them before it becomes clear how global their population problem is.
Since the already own the WH to an extent, and have done so dating back to no later than Clinton, they still need as many allies as possible within the US National Command Infrastructure in order to better control food, energy, and distribution. They're pretty frantic right now because of uncontrolled population growth, and really bad demographics that are going to register in a major way for the world, not just Asia. |

Exactly right in your facts, but wrong in the analysis. China's 3000 year history is an endless rise-fleece-collapse cycle. This time the people on the top when the music stops can escape on planes and shift the stolen money wirelessly. Many cultures outside the Anglo-Saxon sphere are shockingly selfish. China damn near tops that list. When you grow up in a society that has historically used it's people as cannon fodder and pawns, stealing and abandoning them instead of being the one getting used is the smart choice. Most Chinese save over 20% of their income, the State set up the rules so that they had to put it in banks. The banks were then forced to pool those savings into infrastructure and housing projects. Those $80K apartments are already overvalued and the leadership is the ones who profited from that mark-up. They are the ones taking that cash from sales or using those apartments as collateral and buying stuff here. When the collapse happens, all they have to do is get on a plane and live well here. |

They will become a 1st world super power overnight. China is actually trying to transition from the capital-based economy to consumer (or service) -based economy. It's the natural evolutionary process. Problem is how to do it without collapsing everything. Furthermore, the "central" government is not as powerful as it seems. The regional governments still retain a lot of power and the struggle is cut throat (anyone remembers that recent international case where the wife poisoned the husband, etc, etc. - just the tip of the iceberg). It was just before the latest party elections and the two top dogs were pulling their cards. The central government weakness shows in cases where Beijing tells a polluting factory they need to upgrade or shut down and the neighboring province's government offers them to move there, with subsidies. Corruption is unchecked and the kenyan is ensuring we are going the same way, a-la-african-dictatorship. I guess everyone read about that incident yesterday in the Tiananmen Square, right in front of the Forbidden City's main gate? SUV loaded with tourists plowed through hundreds of people, killed five and injured around 50 right before exploding? So, China also has its problems but I'm sure its government is not trying to destroy it. |

China isn't the only country in Asia buying up real restate worldwide and in the US. South Korea and Singapore have also spent billions buying up property in the US. They have the cash and see US property as means of diversification.
