The ChiComs have been buying into U.S. entertainment industry (movie and TV) companies, and now they're taking over a huge U.S. theater chain. Does anyone see a pattern emerging here? Is there anyone who DOESN'T think the ChiComs will try to use this to influence our national discourse even more? They're buying banks, too. What a tragic state we have come to!
I will likely not be patronizing AMC theaters any more. Enough of our money already flows to China.

I haven't been in a movie theater in 10 years.I simply can't imagine *ever* again voluntarily entering a place where one’s shoes stick to the floor in order to see the swill that Hollyweird produces.

China is allowed to kill our pets, sell baby fetuses and our White House lets them continue the takeover of our country.

Maybe Google now has some competition in their goal to rule the World’s information.

What a wonderful way to co-opt the entire Hollywood propaganda machine, and all without firing a shot or using any strong-arm thug tactics.
A devious and patient people, these Chinese. They once had the premiere civilization in all the world, and stand ready to resume that position once again. The inferior and mongrel race of Americans fall prey to the superior and treacherous strategy of the inscrutable Orientals.

Well, they own our politicians and a large US bank, why not a movie theater chain? The Chicoms also can now buy bonds direct from the US treasury. I’m sure the obozo will sell them his government media propaganda machine next, if he hasn’t already. And the individuals in Congress immediately exhibit large wet spots on the fronts of their trousers every time they hear the name of the fraud in the WH.

The Chinese know how to run a good theater, but twenty minutes after eating one of their Jumbo Popcorn's I'm always hungry again.

You should have stopped long ago, after noticing the trash the rat bastards were pushing on US.
Dump your cable/satellite. Why pay for the rope they are using to hang us?
