HEY CHINA!! UP YOURS!!!
- Thread starter Twilight Hue

Reminds me of what the US has done on numerous occasions.
I'm old enough to remember when the US was using the Helms-Burton act to harass Canadian (edit) companies doing legal trade with Cuba.

Exactly. The USA has been "exporting" its legislation to the rest of the world for years, much to everyone else's annoyance.
It's a shame that China has decided to do the same, but all they've done is copy it from the USA.

The USA has for years made laws that apply to the actions of companies and people regardless of where in the world they are carried out. That is what is meant by "exporting legislation".
Every other nation abides by the principle that its laws apply only within the country.
Until now, with China.
The most humerous American misuse of their will are boss and you will do it our way laws
How to legally seize empty islands for America
This 1856 law makes it legal to seize islands for America if they have lots of bird crap
Puts it all in perspective

These days, it seems like the US's style is more about extrajudicial assassinations, usually by drone strike, than it is about kidnapping.
I certainly didn't come here of my own free will!
That's not actually true.
"Sex tourism" legislation is one example that comes to mind. Travelling to another country to have sex with a child is a crime under Canadian law regardless of where in the world the crime happens (and regardless of the local law there). Many other countries have similar laws.
How many Canadian countries are there?
I know of only one.
Dang, man....look at your thread about China's over-reach.
It immediately became criticism of Ameristan.

As the U.S. falls further and further into an abyss of greed, corruption, and incompetence, China feels emboldened. The power-mongers of the world are smelling new opportunities.
Fixed it
We're all in trouble.
Consider the source, but.....
China has territorial claims to nearly 20 countries
Their conquest in the South China Sea seems a step toward further expansion.
Is (are?) the Philippines on the menu?

some years ago.....a report
China has bought 10% of American territory
I hope that's just exaggeration
This is a big deal, and Beijing does pressure individuals. I recall about certain artists being pressured. There was that guy in Australia making political statements with his art. I can't remember his name. Then there's Shenyun performing arts, and there's a page on how Beijing applies pressure ( here )
Can you imagine a nameless individual in a foreign government becoming interested in you, just because you say something to a friend in Hong Kong? That's downright stupid. C'mon now. This is ridiculous.
I don't see their owning real estate in Ameristan as a threat.
The opposite....an attack upon us would gut its value.
