- What does Republican or Democrat have to do with this.
Remember Bill Clinton and John Huang? Who was MFN (Most Favorite Nation) when Bill was in charge? Did he challenge China on Taiwan? Have you heard Bill Clinton''s speeches outside the US?
DO you know any "poor" democrats? Have you seen the Clintons''s Tax Returns?
Who does Pilosi''s and Feinstein''s Husbands do business with?
I think all people have greed ... don''t just chalk it up to Republicans.
And...selling out America? I think the democrats have a lot more to do with that than Republicans. - Reply to this comment
- johnstossel, you very well could be right. The Romans were the world power at one time and look what happened to them. It will happen to this country too. Just a matter of time.

- In 2004 I predicted to a co-worker that by 2010 America would be under Chinese rule. This is the first step. I watched this interview and believe that this guy is full of fertilizer. Lesley Stahl should have insisteed that he be hooked up to a polygraph during this interview!!!

- Like it or not, China is the new world super power and
we will lose most of our mfg jobs to them.
That''s why a good education is so important in order to compete in this world economy. - Reply to this comment
- Aloha from the 50th State of Hawaii.
At the end of March 2008, Molokai Ranch dba Molokai Properties Limited, closed its doors, layed off more than 120 staff, as well as close all access to their properties leading to the beach indefinitely to the native Hawaiian of Molokai because of 5 years of delays and road blocks in getting their permits approved to develop and expand their resorts. Molokai is the 3rd smallest inhabited island of all the Hawaiian Islands. The Island population is approximately 4000. Molokai properties operates Molokai Lodge, Kaupoa Beach Village, the Kaluakoi Golf Course, Moanalua Gas Station, Moanalua Tri-Plex Theater, Cattle Rearing, and the Company''s Island Maintenance Operation. The relation this story has to China is that Molokai Ranch is said to be owned and operated by foreign investors from China who contracts the management work to Molokai Properties Limited. People in Hawaii are questioning whether or not a foreign investor can be held accountable for closing most of the critical infrastructure and business holding on island, as a way of getting back to the people of the Island who oppose any further development on the Island. If foreign investors can create this type of Chaos on a small island in Hawaii, can you imagine impact China will leave on the United States when they dont get what they want ??????? Just a little fruit for thought.

- Chinese guys are to poor to feed themselves.
I don''t worry about their investment. - Reply to this comment
- Why should one worry about about China investing in US finance, what we need to worry about is our own egotistical idiots sliting our own throats. Remember we think short term and China thinks long term, all China needs do is wait, we will hand it to them shortly with smile on our faces.
Someone once said "You (US) will sell us the rope we will hang you with, that country has passed away and can not but their neighbor to the east will. - Reply to this comment
- SharnCedar - When can you stop abusing free speech and promote your hate-speech against chinese people and chinese americans? Please remember GOVERNMENT and PEOPLE are NOT one single entity. If this is the case, an american as yourself, also supports the war in IRAQ and 100,000+ casualties of innocent iraqi civilians...you claimed to use "baseball bat" against investors who believes in free trader = REAL VIOLENCE

- The Chinese government has 200 BILLION to invest in our companies?! That''s just wondeful. The poor American workers of the future. You better join a union.
Thanks George, for opening up free trade with the greatest human rights abusing Nation in the world. You will go down in history as the seed that destroyed Democratic America from within.
Let the propaganda begin. - Reply to this comment
- I agree with robbavb, midwestmod, rdohnal and beefchop1 in that Lesley not only did a poor job but kept trying to make Xiqing look bad. It looked like she harassed him with a blunt hatchet. He has done no wrong.
If 60 Minutes doesn''t like Sovereign Wealth Funds investing in the US then it should pass a law making it illegal.
Why doesn''t 60 Minutes go after the American legislators who permit SWFs to invest in America? It looks like the show tries to play on emotional fears, rather than facts, to make its case.
Is 60 Minutes on the way off the air? Didn''t CBS News hire Katie Couric to lead its evening news program further into the dumpster?
Well, at least, when the end comes, Lesley will be able to get a job with the STAR magazine. - Reply to this comment
- Chinese are friendly. I enjoy doing business with them as a supplier. Many are honest. They are misunderstood

- China owns America''s financial and economic soul. We have greedy American corporatists, enabled primarily by Republicans, to thank for that. All in the name of a few dollars more, they have sold America down the river.

- This story shows a bit about the selling of the United States. Our living beyond our means, both personally and by our government, is an invitation to destroy the US by buying it. Our children and grandchildren will be faced with the prospect one day that we are not the world leader but subject to those who hold our debt. We are doing this willingly. Disgraceful!!

- I think Mr. Gao should buy CBS next and fire Lesley Stal, foreign markets are foreign markets - the US has investments in China as well..duh. 60 Minutes is on its last few seconds lately...just imagine the cost in producing this segment i.e.,sending Lesley Stal first class airfare, hotels and beverage will never be recovered. The show''''s editorial content was for first graders. Sorry but it was poorly done. Robb

- Regardless of opinions on whether or not china''s investment in the U.S financial markets is in our best interest or not, how about discussing the unbelievable bias on that so called journalistic piece. Stahl attacked Xiqing without any effort of showing the opposing view point. How about the fact that China is showing a great deal of confidence in the American economy by investing such a great deal of money? Or the fact that this money is partially responsible for keeping these precious stock prices up? The plain truth of this piece is that 60 minutes panders to an aging demographic and that they know the fear-mongering of this segment would resonate with that demographic. So called journalism is disgusting.

- The hypocrisy of this segment is unbelievable. For a century, America''s dollars and its unfettered capitalists have been buying up and controlling companies outside its borders, spreading US control world-wide. And still... if other countries try to do this, oooohhhh... how evil. Unreal.
