Secretary of State John Kerry told the press in Beijing that he discussed with Chinese government officials investing in America's infrastructure. Kerry called the security concerns "very, very few; very, very little."
"We welcome Chinese investment in the United States. And a very, very small percentage of investment is subject to a process where we have a security evaluation because of the nature of the business or the particular location. But it’s very, very few; very, very little. And obviously, there are sometimes concerns when there’s a state ownership of a particular business because that raises a different set of considerations," Kerry said, in response to a question about what he said to encourage Chinese investment in America....

They are investing: they’re buying our bonds.
But like US taxpayers, they can’t keep up with the government’s appetite for spending...
Yup, an investment in either the USA’s conversion to communism or its geopolitical impotence.
What could possibly go wrong?
Monetizing our highways etc...toll roads so we can help pay for our own demise. Pretty obvious.
“Am I dreaming this?”
Why yes, you are. Our elected leadership couldn’t possibly be this mind-numbingly stupid.
I’d bet this has to do with the N.Korean problem. China helps control NK, we pay them back with these deals with even more going behind the scenes. Kerry gets to look like he solved the problems over in Asia. We end up getting screwed out of more jobs.
AKA Drilling for oil in our coastal waters.
The only long term strategy our government (Democrats) has is the perpetual sustainment of their power. That said, the unfortunate fact is that each temporary proponent (the elected politicians) care only that this country sustain itself for the duration of the terms they have assumed they will have.
In other words, Obama, while a long-term ideologue, is really only willing to go for broke on efforts that don’t have an impact during his two terms. For example, the severe ACA impacts were delayed until after his first term. Even now, the most severe impacts are being constantly eased upon the most vocal groups aligned with him for another 2,3, 4 years. He really doesn’t give a sh!t what happens later because it fits with his philosopy of total devolvement into third/fourth world status so that Islam and socialism can remake it/us.
They can, and are, that stupid. Kerry us a fool.
huh so they are going to tell the chinese where all of our sensitive places are?
We are being sold to the highest bidder by our elected officials. Wait for the eviction notice
it's the African model, what China is doing now in Africa
Chinese will hire Americans as coolies to farm our occupied farms and mine our occupied coal mines under Chinese management, and ship products back to China through ports they build and occupy ... Warren Buffet will be pleased with the shipping business
then there is Chinese access to our universities and laboratories and financial institutions, what is the future of all those Chinese babies now being born in American birth hotels with our citizenship and loyalty to China?
and the democrats and GOP and the unions and the universities will collect their graft from the deals and be happy with selling America piece by piece, person by person
Just yours.
John Kerry welcomes your new Chinese overlords.
No, and the PRC’s ability to do this was brought about by the “free trade” dogma of the “conservatives” in the GOP.
So, how much is Kerry asking for the naming rights of the White House?
That bastard should never have been confirmed!
...should have never been allowed back in the country after hos little parley with his allies from Hanoi.
