Good website,informative as hell. I noticed they are building a mega mall in Wisconsin. Nice to see its near Lake Michigan,Second largest fresh water lake in the Nation.
Across the Lake in Michigan..........................
* The Chinese now buy more Michigan products than France and the United Kingdom combined. China is behind only Canada and Mexico as a market for Michigan goods.
* This has been a recent development. In 2000, China had only purchased $212 million in Michigan products. This grew to $1.3 billion in 2009. Michigan is on pace to export more than $2 billion this year.
* Michigan is surpassing national growth rates in trade to China. Total U.S. exports to China rose 35.7 percent for the first half of the year, and Michigan's exports to China rose by 120 percent. Since 2000, total U.S. exports to China rose by 326 percent, while Michigan's exports to China grew by 530 percent.
Should China Stop Buying From Michigan?

Civilian workers report that a subsurface facility exists. No publicity exists indicating what the role of Raco Field is, although something is there. To observers, it is an "inactive WWII base."

Bark River A large construction operation is ongoing in the Bark River, MI, area. Locals are tight-lipped. The facility is off the main highway in a wilderness area.

Dear Mr. Smith: Our web master has forwarded your question about Camp Grayling to me. The "camps" you are referring to are used by our Military Police for training. One of their war-time missions is to process and care for prisoners of war (POWs). The photos you saw are of that training site. If you have any other questions about Camp Grayling, the Michigan National Guard or any of our training, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely, 1st Lt. Dawn Dancer

Just because you repeat something over and over does not mean it is true. If it US soil then things manufactured there would not be imports. Imports only come from foreign soil. Everything manufactured there is considered an import according to the law. Hence it is foreign soil!

So the government is now looking at restricting the amount of land that foreign owners/companies can obtain.

Good business is when you can call debts. We have been in debt for far to long. If they call on their debt fully, most people will be in trouble, we have no base on the numbers.
Peace, NRE.
We do not owe the debt the federal government does and it is bogus they have no right to give China sovereign states soil to pay their bad gambling debts. I am telling you if people ignore this like they do everything else we are screwed for sure!

ITEMS have a special status in FTZ, NOT people!! It IS US soil, and US laws apply, not Chinese law, not Senegalese law, not Sharia....US LAW! It is US soil
Don't believe me, go to a FTZ, kick in a window...and then see which cops come to pick you up
I'm just repeating it because you refuse to accept reality

Foreign Trade Zones have been around for a long time.

The U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones program was created by the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 1934.
And they aren't exclusively for China...you make it sound like these were set up recently and only for China to use.
And that is just flat out false.
The Australian Government (based in Canberra, Australia’s capital city) is aware of the fact that some of Australia’s citizens are cautious about foreign individuals or companies buying residential real estate (defined as all Australian real property, including vacant land). It wants to ensure that the foreign real estate ownership it does allow is of benefit to the community and in keeping with the community needs. Therefore, the Australian Government insists that all applications from foreign citizens or companies to buy residential real estate (either already developed - such as houses and apartments - to be developed, to be redeveloped or existing only at plan stage) are put before the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB), one of its advisory boards.
