The difference is that China is a socialist market economy and the US is a free market economy. In a free market economy, things are much relaxed, with less government intervention. That's why you can't buy land in China but you can here. Also, I would like to point out, that there are lots of US companies in China, just to name a few, Disneyland, Starbucks, Taco bell, Costco, Sams, Boeing, Tesla, etc. You can also buy a home in China, too. So, it's not really that much different.

[@QuantizedAxiom]

@@jukio02 I wanted to help you a bit with your clarification but to add to your last point the reason why those companies are allowed in is BECAUSE China isn't a pure socialist market economy. It transitioned to a mixed economy after 1978 and runs similarly to a free-market economy.

This is the part of economic theory that gets overlooked in academic discussions. Normally international trade is discussed in terms of goods & services. But there is nothing to prevent one trading partner from using an imbalance of payments to buy the other country's assets instead. We've seen it happen before when the imbalance existed with Japan. They tended to buy urban real estate in the form of landmark buildings. The Chinese seem to like buying manufacturing operations and port facilities. The Saudis like buying American land that gets them water rights. The solution is not legislation and out right bans, but to get your balance of payments back in order and keep it there.

Congratulations !! You seem like the only rational thinker here. Most guys here are just xenophobic or war hawks.

I'm always wondering why USA lawmakers allow foreign entities with clear ties to foreign governments to own lands. They are too inflexible in running capitalism that they can't even put some restraint on it.

[@D-E-S_8559]

So been an individual card carrying member of the CCP is tantamount to been the "Chinese govt" ---- What if the Chinese extended the same definitions to Democratic party members, and banned them from owning investments in China, imagine the raucous that the same white rich farmers will cause everywhere....

Many countries have laws that require a foreigner to have a citizen as a partner to purchase land or businesses. We should have them also.

[@steveinoz8188]

Currently, 14.1 per cent of Australia's agricultural land is foreign owned, and China is the largest foreign owner (2.3 per cent). China is also the third-largest stakeholder of Australian water behind Canada and the US, owning 604 gigalitres or 1.5 per cent of the total Australian water entitlement.

[@Thephilpw99]

China has over 1 billion farmers. The culture of China is based on agriculture. Most Chinese people love to grow something. So why it is such a surprise when Chinese are buying land to grow stuff ? We Chinese are certainly not surprised to see so many foreign stores in shopping malls in China.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Government of Canada imposed a two-year ban on foreign buyers purchasing certain residential real estate in Canada. This was done to try and slow the hot real estate market that was increasing beyond what the average Canadian could afford. Listening to this makes me concerned about what may be happening to our farm land and business too! Let’s hope both our countries can stop what’s going on before we loose too much.

@@rmanbike What is it that Americans don’t understand about China? They don’t know how capitalist China is. China’s rapid economic growth is the result of its embrace of a market economy and private enterprise. China is among the most open markets in the world: It is the largest trading nation and also the largest recipient of foreign direct investment, surpassing the United States in 2020. The major focus of government expenditure is domestic infrastructure. China now has better highways, rail systems, bridges, and airports than the United States does. For example, over the past 15 years it has built the longest high-speed rail system in the world. At 22,000 miles, it is twice as long as the rest of the world’s combined. China’s high-speed rail could cover the distance between Boston and Chicago in about four hours, whereas Amtrak’s fastest service takes 22 hours. One reason China can spend so much on infrastructure is that its defense budget, after years of increases, is still only about a quarter that of the United States.
