## Resource

A rising concern over the last few years has been the purchase of American land by companies and organizations linked to the Chinese government. Similarly, the trade-focused relationship between the United States and China has been brought into focus as an examination of the cost-benefit analysis. Is this a legitimate rising concern? What can be done to secure our land and alleviate those concerns? What is the historic relationship between our two countries? To walk us through this very pertinent topic, we are delighted to welcome Steve Yates, former deputy national security advisor to the Vice President and Senior Research Fellow for China and National Security in the Heritage Foundation's Asian Studies Center.
