We don't need other countries owning land in the US.

China does not own the land. The BLM (US Government) owns most if not all of the land.

How do I know? I looked up the property area and it’s almost all BLM land.

It should for countries that we deem an enemy to the states. That should be the standard for every country.

Assets are fine, but the actual land itself shouldn't be tolerated. And i would even propose a mandatory buyback, even if they aren't allies.
