China buys a US port in L.A. to host submarines

One thing that is helpful about this article is that it shows American atitudes towards China on its own its not credible but go and look at the other articles on the web, in the media etc China is painted as a threat

However not by all Americans.

Thus this will be useful for a historian or any other researcher about attitudes to chinese.

ff I just googled China threat i got over 61.000.000 m links and also typed in muslim and islamic threat each got 20,000,000. But this is not scientific.

BUT i bet the muslim threat links are more inflammatory

P.S Also remember Panama Canal controversy????

Um, China cannot "buy" a US port. Chinese companies, however, can lease port facilities in the US.

I still go fishing at Long Beach every so often. The area around Pier J is very polluted and I do not recommend eating anything from those waters (throw the fish back).

Yuck ..Those fish there are some sort of muntants probally...after years of breeding in that nasty water.

I know that the Chinese workers for COSCO at Long Beach have to remain there. I guess they live in the old barracks...I do know they get to go on tours. I have seen them frequently at the tourist attractions in San Diego. They are always escorted by some "Offical looking" English speaking escorts. Plus they are always in the 11 casinos in San Diego county. I can't imangine thay make much more money that their counterparts in the PRC. Does anyone know? Are they granted speical priviledges?

Anyway the bottom line is that if the PLAN wanted to port a sub in Long Beach they would have to go through the US government even if they do own the old Long Beach base....
