Not sure if I call this a stealth invasion but, one way or another its making more and more paranoid about a slow hostile takeover it seems.

It is literally just capitalism. Either capitalism is overthrown in one of the two nations or systematically this is encouraged.

Both China and the United States have nukes. Neither side is going to try to invade the other.

Plenty of capitalist countries ban foreign entities from buying up land/businesses.

And none ban citizens from doing so + none ban people from immigration.

So yeah, my statement remains unchallenged.

From your own article...

A review by NBC News of thousands of documents filed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, however, shows very few purchases by Chinese buyers in the past year and a half fewer than 1,400 acres in a country with 1.3 billion acres of agricultural land. In fact, the total amount of U.S. agricultural land owned by Chinese interests is less than three-hundredths of 1%.
