BADbuckfever,
I wasn't trying to get you too riled up there, and apologize if I did. I did research the topic, and think it merits keeping an eye on it. I, too, am concerned about all of our national debt, and not just what we have borrowed from China.
I'm just a little leery of the infowars angle on the story, the writer was taking some pretty big leaps in logic with the actual facts. The articles I read on it indicate the jobs will be mostly for Americans, and the local supporters want the jobs and industry, but aren't too keen on the whole self-contained city aspect. The project would have to follow all of the local, state, and national laws and regulations to move forward with development. Just because a Chinese government-owned company buys land in Idaho, doesn't make that land China.
I certainly don't want to be part of New Red China, or a Globalist Government, and I agree that keeping vigilant is important, but I also don't want to keep a bunch of good Idahoans out of work because some industrial funding is coming from China. We sure as heck have sent enough money there, it would be nice to see some come back.
Anyway, enough politics for me, I'm headin' back to check out some hunting threads.
