With Acquisition of California Port, China Broadens Influence on US Commerce
In recent weeks, numerous national security concerns have been raised regarding Chinese corporations and their increasing ownership of American businesses and trading ports. This alarm comes in the wake of China’s largest shipping company, Cosco Shipping Holdings Co., taking control of a major US trade terminal in Long Beach, California. The Long Beach acquisition is part of Cosco’s six-billion-dollar buyout of rival Asian shipping giant, the Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas International Ltd.
Whereas Cosco’s ownership of the California port is a smart move for the Chinese economy, American trade insiders have expressed skepticism over the acquisition’s benefits for the United States, worried it may jeopardize national security.

They want their money back that they stole from us to begin with… Nancy Pelosi didn't have a Chinese spy working for her for 20 years for nothing
China Owns US Debt, but How Much?
It seems like every American politician and talking head is concerned by the huge amount of debt that the U.S. government owes Chinese lenders. The Chinese do own a lot of U.S. debt – $1.123 trillion as of December 2018.
Breaking Down Ownership of US Debt
By mid-2017, the total amount of official debt owed by the federal, state and local governments was more than $19.4 trillion. That figure was $22 trillion, as of Feb. 17, 2019. Some experts add more than $120 trillion in unfunded future liabilities on the federal government balance sheet.
Of the $22 trillion in government debts, more than $5 trillion (a little less than one-third) is actually owned by the federal government in trust funds. These are accounts dedicated to Social Security, Medicare and other entitlements. In other words, the government wrote itself a really big IOU and bankrupted one account to finance another activity. IOUs are formed and financed through joint efforts of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.
Much of the rest of the debt is owned by individual investors, corporations and other public entities. This includes everyone from retirees who purchase individual U.S. Treasurys to the Chinese government.
China took the top spot among foreign creditors at $1.123 trillion, followed by Japan, at $1.042 trillion, as of December 2018.
Japan and China own about 5.1% and 4.7% of the U.S. debt, respectively. Japanese-owned debt doesn't receive nearly as much negative attention as Chinese-owned debt, ostensibly because Japan is seen as a friendlier nation and the Japanese economy hasn't been growing at an 7% clip year after year.

Book: China has made McConnell a very rich man
Allegedly taking advantage of their foreign influence as political leaders in Washington, D.C., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, United States Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, allegedly made their family rich – either directly or indirectly – off China.
“McConnell went from being a Senate leader wary of China to its biggest booster, while Chao parlayed more Chinese cash into turning the Heritage Foundation’s policy toward China and securing a Cabinet post in George W. Bush’s administration,” WND reported. “McConnell and Chao had an average net worth of $3.1 million in 2004. Ten years later, while working only in government, that figure rose to between $9.2 million and $36.5 million.”

The secret to Mitch McConnell's millions
The challenges Mitch McConnell is facing from the left and right in his reelection campaign have at least one thing in common: Each opponent is making an issue of the wealth the five-term incumbent has accumulated in office. McConnell over the summer reported a net worth somewhere between $9 million and $36 million (lawmakers are required only to list their holdings in ranges) — a substantial leap over the six-figure sums he reported in his early Senate years and enough to make him the 11th-richest member of the chamber.
Campaign innuendo aside, there’s a simple explanation for how a fellow in public service gets rich: He marries into it. In 1993, McConnell, whose first marriage ended in divorce, wed Elaine Chao, an up-and-coming Republican operative then serving as the president of United Way of America. She’s also the eldest of Chinese-born shipping magnate James Chao’s six daughters. Her father built a fortune as founder and chairman of the Foremost Group, a privately held outfit based in New York City that moves iron ore, coal, scrap metal, and wheat around the world. And Chao père delivered the bulk of the couple’s wealth in a 2008 gift valued between $5 million and $25 million. The Chao family has also been a reliable supporter of McConnell’s campaigns and the Kentucky state party, contributing $391,000 over the course of his career.

Russia has slowly been doing this for years
Russia Is Dumping U.S. Dollars to Hoard Gold
Vladimir Putin’s quest to break Russia’s reliance on the U.S. dollar has set off a literal gold rush.
Within the span of a decade, the country quadrupled its bullion reserves, and 2018 marked the most ambitious year yet. And the pace is keeping up so far this year. Data from the central bank show that holdings rose by 1 million ounces in February, the most since November.
The data shows that Russia is making rapid progress in its effort to diversify away from American assets. Analysts, who have coined the term de-dollarization, speculate about the global economic impacts if more countries adopt a similar philosophy and what it could mean for the dollar’s desirability compared with other assets, such as gold or the Chinese yuan.

Michael of Nebadon…. just another fake and phony wanna be savior trying to deceive many

“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Billions of dollars also… hell of a racket they got going
