A Texan real estate mogul allegedly made 'millions of dollars' by selling vast swathes of local farmland to a Chinese billionaire with close ties to Beijing. David Frankens, from Lufkin, East Texas, scored the 'deals of the century' when flipping the land at around twice its market value to Sun Guangxin, a former captain in the Chinese military, local realtors told DailyMail.com. The trades have sparked fury among ranchers in Val Verde County, where Sun bought more than 130,000 acres of farmland for an estimated $110million between 2016 and 2018.

Any effort to regulate sales of American property to China is already too late to stop Bubba's releasing American rocket-guidance tech to them in 1999 (and getting 'contributions' from them in return).

Hmmm - the wonderful private sector strikes again. Isn't that what I am told by the likes of Andrew Wilkow, et al - businesses should only worry about profits and their stockholders. It's his private land so he can do what he wants with it. Right?

Let them buy as much farmland as they want. We get their $$$ and they can't take the land back to China when push comes to shove we keep the land and the crops and they starve. This happened in Hawaii back in the 80's with the Japanese, ran up real estate prices, then the market collapsed and americans bought the properties back at cut rate prices.

I lived in Hawaii and California when Japan bought property to include even The Curry Company which owned concessions at Yosemite. But they were not our sworn enemies and we weren’t being overrun by drug cartels, illegal aliens and heaven knows what else. We also have malign and treasonous leadership making this is no time to be tolerant of land sales that encroach on the safety of Americans.

$110,000,000 divided by 130,000 acres is $846 per acre. People in California would call that a steal. Some might have a different opinion. I'd refer readers to the funny poem called "He'll in Texas" https://allpoetry.com/Hell-in-Texas

The Constitution should protect private property from onerous government meddling. But one restriction seems manifestly necessary and appropriate -- no private transfer of real estate to foreign powers. It protects our national sovereignty, as our border SHOULD be doing.

the fact of the matter is: everyone in China has close ties to the Communist party otherwise they'd be in a prison camp out in the furthest reaches of the country of China - it goes without saying that no foreign entity should own land or businesses in the USofA and should relinquish all present ownership of any such land or business(es) to the United States government, without hesitation, especially any country or entity considered a possible adversary or commercial opponent - ie: any nation that is a possible economic rival (we should treat them the same way they treat us)

One thing I happen to agree with Mexico about is they will not let foreigners buy land/property in their nation, especially the prime areas like the coastal properties. Maybe we need to implement this concept in America. No more selling our country out to the Chinese. This property owner is as bad as Swallwell and his little spy mistress.

America's been on sale for decades. If you look hard enough, you'd be surprised many THINGS once owned by Americans are now in the hands of foreigners, both friends and foes. Complacency by the government and the people allowed the destruction of Amerika from the inside. The fix is in and the cure is terminal.

Half of consumers are being priced out of the car market as the cost of a monthly car loan payment is far exceeding what an average American can afford, while the home affordability index has fallen from a 169.9 point average in 2020 to 87.8 points as of July, according to the National Association of Realtors.
