That would also jeopardize their Western investments. I think it's a wash.
I disagree. China owns quite a bit of US farm land, nearly 200,000 acres, and is buying all it can get. More than 35 million acres of US land are owned by foreign entities, some of which may be proxy owners for China. Its still a small percentage overall, but its not meaningless.
The ways China has already "invaded" the US are impressive to say the least. As many people suspected, the power grid components from China did in fact contain backdoor access that would allow China to effect some degree of control over the US power grid.
Any US business that contracts parts and services from China has had their technology stolen, whether they realize it or not. While many believe the majority of these businesses hold no technology we need to fear losing to China, it is worth remembering that China took a huge leap forward in its digital technology potential by innocently purchasing a digital phone system that handed them technology they had not yet devised on their own.
Having seen how the US and its allies dealt with other nations over the last few decades China has had ample time to protect itself from any type of exclusion or sanction we might try to employ. Yes, losing trade with the US will hurt them, but, with "an owned and supported by China" biden in office, how much will they really lose? And how long will it take biden to start sending reparations checks, with interest, to China to make up for any inconvenience caused?
Unfortunately for any one who"buys" land in the US we have SUPER DEEDS and can revoke their sale if need be,and they lose the money. That land would be repo'd as soon as they declared war on the US.

Fox News just aired a report report describing how China is preparing to Claim the moon as their very own.
Source: www.newsweek.com...
NASA chief Bill Nelson told Bild on Saturday, translated from German: "We must be very concerned that China is landing on the moon and saying: 'It's ours now and you stay out.'"

Some think that a conventional war with China due to resupply issues, the distances involved, the strength of our military etc. would be tremendously hard to execute.
Sadly, I think it would be far easier than you think. Let’s say they build large manufacturing sites, Foxconn for example in Wisconsin. Absolutely huge site, and no one seems to know what they’re doing there at present.
Then, with the open border we have at present, you filter in large groups of Chinese nationals. At present, we really don’t know who is coming across. If you think you do, you couldn’t be more wrong. Of course you would have to incite massive distractions across the country to provide cover for what your doing. Sound familiar?
Now you disburse your troops across the whole country over time. Your manufacturing sites are the resupply and rally points. No need to bring in small arms, they are everywhere. You buy up farms on a large scale, you do have to feed all those troops on the sly. Of course it would require some help from highly placed politicians. They would be needed to grease all the the wheels to accomplish this.
When the time is right, they unleash hell on earth. Infrastructure would be the first to go, communication, power, water, roads, distribution centers. Our country would quickly be overwhelmed from within.
Is this happening? I really don’t know. I do see it as a distinct possibility though. If this is happening, it is too late to stop it. Might be a good time to learn Chinese.

There is eminent domain, but in order to do that the government has to pay the owners fair market value for the property so they won't really lose that much. At least we can take the land back though. But its more than just the land. As it was noted in the article, they are sifting through soil to recover gmo seeds that would take them years and billions to create on their own. With China you always have to look at the number of ways they can leverage their investment beyond the initial purchase. Everything they do in this country is strategic in some way, whether we realize it or not.

Yes, your statement is 100% . But if the politicians all have fallen into the "Chinese Spider Web Trap " that just isn't going to happen.
Many politicians are not loyal to their country. Also, one thing we here in Asia know : YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CHINESE ARE THINKING
