1. Buying A Large Amount of America
Sun Feb 14, 2016, 02:45 PM

It seems the Chinese and Chinese group are buying a large amount of American companies. I believe the Chinese have bought AMC, Smithfield, or some other pork producing company, and now the Chicago Stock Exchange. I think they may have also recently purchased a major hotel from the Hilton brand. I think the hotel was in New York.

I think a number of foreigners own American hotels and businesses. I think Saudis and Iranians own hotels in New York and Texas. The Sultan of Burnei owns the Beverly Hilton and a few other hotels. A French company now owns Budweiser. A Japanese company now owns Jim Beam. So, the world already owns a number of American brands.
