CCP member and Chairman Mao admirer Chen Tianqiao's $85MILLION purchase of Oregon timberland is missing from government records, alarming lawmakers: Is now second-largest foreign owner of US land
2024-01-14
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Chinese billionaire Chen Tianqiao bought 198,000 acres of US timberland in 2015, but it does not appear on federal records for foreign land owners

  • It has sparked concerns among senators that the Biden administration is failing to keep tabs on Chinese investment amid growing tensions with Beijing

  • Gaming mogul Chen's timberland purchase only hit the news after Oregon tax records released last month revealed his company as the beneficial owner

#2  Total US timber acreage: 750 miliion acres

Total commercial timber acreage in the US: 550 million acres

Tianqiao's holdings: 198,000/550,000,000 = 0.0000036%

But, hey, panic if you must.
