OUR lands are closed illegally and WE, THE OWNERS are being barred by force from entering them.
In what way do you "own" these lands? (please don't say taxes).

This is particularly dangerous.
If true, we are one step away from full-scale revolt.
The moment the Grand Canyon is auctioned off to another nation, or even just officially held by the Chinese, the American people will take to the streets. This could be our undoing, if true. And it makes perfect sense. It explains exactly why the grand canyon was shut down even though the funds were privately raised to keep it running.
We don't own it anymore.

america has given the chinese a beachhead already by giving them a naval deepwater base in san fransisco .
when i read about that it shocked me then their was talk of giving the chinese 30 miles sq of land for a city .
canada and australia have seen big chunks of farm land bought up so why not america .
god help america not god bless should be the new anthem

If China wants to call in its debt RIGHT NOW, no stupid "act" can stop them. Although you'd like to believe that the US rules the world... it doesn't. There isn't one thing WE could do if China took their case to the International Court of Settlements. We are in the UN...which means that we MUST abide by all agreements we have to any other country also in the UN. The rule of law will win the day...not some "act" which has zero effect internationally.

Had your rangers said "Hell no, we won't do THAT !" then perhaps you'd stand a chance in this scenario.
The Romans recruited from their vassal states, likewise the British in the establishment of empire.
The Chinese know that Americans can easily be turned against their own kind.
That is your major weakness, and the reason you can't win this one.
Forget the Chinese, you are your own worst enemy.
You will police yourselves in accordance with the orders you will "only" be following.
