Real Estate, Technology, Distribution Sectors Are Top Targets for Chinese Investment
Total Chinese investment in the U.S. economy has reached over $145 billion. This includes more than 50 acquisitions of American assets worth at least $50 million each in 2016, a high-water mark for inbound Chinese investment. Since 2011, the Chinese have invested heavily in different sectors of the American economy, mostly through acquisitions rather than new investments. More may be on the way, as China’s outbound FDI is low relative to the size of China’s economy.

Billion-Dollar Acquisitions in Energy Extraction and Other Sectors Helping to Create Constituency for “Investor-State”-Style Protections
A proposed U.S.-China Bilateral Investment Treaty (China BIT) would grant Chinese firms broader rights than exist currently to purchase U.S. firms, land and other assets. This treaty would newly expose the U.S. government to demands for compensation from Chinese investors and firms operating in the United States through investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). Chinese investors have already made U.S. investments in sectors that have been subject to a significant number of ISDS claims in other countries (such as energy extraction) and that have generated the most egregious ISDS cases brought to date by foreign investors against sovereign governments.

Top 15 Chinese Government Entities and Corporate Conglomerates with Ties to the Chinese Government Account for Nearly 60 Percent of Chinese Investment in the United States
A majority of Chinese investments in the United States either come from government controlled entities (e.g. the sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation, Sinopec, CNOOC) and government agencies (e.g. SAFE) OR the top Chinese conglomerates with close connections to the Chinese government, ranging from companies that are influenced by the government (e.g. WH Group/Shuanghui) to ones strongly linked to the government (e.g. HNA Group). Many ostensibly private companies enjoy links (in the form of relationships and financing) to the Chinese government that are not typically recognized (e.g. WH Group/Shuanghui). The China BIT would provide the same rights to Chinese government and non-government entities alike.

Agreed, Kemp is thoroughly corrupt. He knows how to hide his businesses, none showing up on SOS except one that’s dissolved. I think he gets around it by being the registered agent of a number of companies
I don’t understand what you are saying
Great they should be terrified, Durham and Barr know about Italy and now Durham has hired more prosecutors
