Why on earth would the U.S. allow a sale like this to happen? Why are we selling so much of our land to foreigners – and foreigners who hate us? And foreigners who hate us, buying land near Ft. Hood…this is absurd.
they control a large majority of america and the western world's manufacturing and industry, they hold huge amounts of american debt, they have a massive business presence in north america and have slowly been taking hold of places around the world through massive real estate investments.

China doesn't own as much of anything as you carry on about.
For debt it's about 5%, hardly a massive amount.

While the growth rate for foreign owned land is a cause for concern ( the amount has doubled in 10 years), the total amount isn't that staggering yet. It's also a state by state case...

Yes, they have made great strides in the past decade, but they're far from taking over.
It is a definite cause for concern though.
And once again we can blame our reps in both parties for this
The question on my mind is who approved this sale and why?

It is very close to Laughlin air force base which is a pilot training center. It is also very close to the border with Mexico which means it could become a illegal border crossing station.

I live in Vancouver so it may just be local bias. But, property here is overwhelmingly owned by foreign investors from china and it's driving up cost of living to ridiculous levels. I watched the neighbourhood i lived in get completely demolished and replaced by highrises owned by people flown in from China on the dime of the developers that sat nearly empty for the near decade I seen them exist.

It the largest military base in the US, duh.
They buy the land and quietly ship all the stuff they need to take down Ft Hood for when they invade the US in a takeover attempt.
They already let their bioweapon lose on the world to cripple as many countries as possible.
China makes evil bond villains look like the cartoon villian Gru.
