China wants to build a city in the USA (thanks USA for all your debt) SAY NO!!!

[DemonMonger]

Thanks to the trillions of dollars that the Chinese have made flooding our shores with cheap products, China is now in a position of tremendous economic power. So what is China going to do with all of that money? One thing that they have decided to do is to buy up pieces of the United States and set up "special economic zones" inside our country from which they can continue to extend their economic domination. One of these "special economic zones" would be just south of Boise, Idaho and the Idaho government is eager to give it to them. China National Machinery Industry Corporation (Sinomach for short) plans to construct a "technology zone" south of Boise Airport which would ultimately be up to 50 square miles in size. The Chinese Communist Party is the majority owner of Sinomach, so the 10,000 to 30,000 acre "self-sustaining city" that is being planned would essentially belong to the Chinese government. The planned "self-sustaining city" in Idaho would include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail centers and large numbers of homes for Chinese workers. Basically it would be a slice of communist China dropped right into the middle of the United States.

According to the Idaho Statesman, the idea would be to build a self-contained city with all services included. It would be modeled after the "special economic zones" that currently exist in China.

USA have no natural population anyway...except indians - which they exterminated at the beginning. More or less chinese have small "towns" in every big american city.

What purpose would it serve? I'm trying to look at how it would benefit the Chinese or USA. Say it got built..give it 6 months a year and it would just become run down.. a novelty.

It's not just a community. It is basically like putting a little vatican city in the USA. What ever happened to democracy?

Most places don't want the military bases removed actually. They stimulate the local economy quite a bit by providing job opportunities and bringing in men with money to spend.

I didn't read up on it, but it doesn't sound at all like that. The vatican is its own country, these communities are owned by a company that is owned by China... but that doesn't mean the community is no longer under U.S. law, right?

You mean people in other countries like to have a foreing armed soldiers in his own territory...

What make you think that ?

There is a word for that: Imperialism. Just like the romans.

You seem to be forgetting how many countries have plead to the US to have American boots on their soil. You seriously over-exaggerate when you talk about colonialism and imperialism Luca, just like that time when you were talking about the Falkland Islands.

China's SEZ's are one of the many reasons it's an economic giant today. Just think of them as giant [living] foreign investments. It would obviously benefit them to have an SEZ there because it could give them another huge foothold in America for the future.

When a country opens it's doors to foreigners to sell it's resources instead of investing in it's own people imo it's pretty much selling out. Then a decade into the future they complain about how they have so few industries and markets of their own and how the foreigners have everything; her der, because you sold it.

OT: I don't expect this specific case to come to life, overreacting much.

If you think democracy still exists in US you surely do not have a good look a things. More or less ppl in every country are under some influence and propaganda which forms their opinions. Democracy in US is one of such things put to you to believe in.

The cake is a lie.

Yes, they do. Most of these places are not like what you see on the news in the middle east, and they are welcomed by the other country. A military base isn't necessarily there for a hostile reason. Often times they're leftovers from past conflicts, and were there to help the country they're in. Removing them would save the U.S. some money from our bloated defense budget, but we keep them there in the interest of diplomacy because their host nations don't want them removed, due to the economic boost it gives to the local area.
