China, Japan Buying Up Our Country

#1 Postby Janice » Fri Jul 01, 2005 8:26 pm

I don't think people really know how much land is owned by foreigners. I am not talking about companies or businesses in the US, but actual land.

Does it scare you to think that someday, the land will be owned by more foreign countries than US citizens and companies?

Once they have the land, they are in great control of this country. Doesn't the government see this?

We are already outsourcing, so in the future I see these foreign countries bringing these jobs back on their lands and hiring only their people.

The US citizens will be the minority. Sad... I see where American companies and citizens are moving to other countries.

What do you think.

Ah so Japan is back in the picture again, they had to sell a lot of their holdings when their stockmarket crashed but they have always been a big factor in the US Real Estate market especially in HI and on Guam. The US needs the foreign capital so there's nothing we can do about it.
