The Chinese government was buying shit left and right (no pun intended) during Obama's reign of terrorism, because HE allowed it. They bought up BILLIONS of dollars of land, and BILLIONS of dollars of what used to be American companies.

Now China owns 1/3 of all "American" companies and enough real estate and land to have their own state the size of Ohio.

Why does Texas have a change of heart?

Foreign interests keep buying US acreage with focus on Southwest

Foreign holdings of U.S. land increased by 2.4 million acres in 2020, with 40% of the growth occurring in just three states, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado, according to a new Agriculture Department report. But these holdings are still a relatively small share of U.S. farmland.
