Isn't the reason the public land sale came up is because Trump needs the money to pay for tax cuts for the rich?
Why would Trump force "China" to sell land back to US and where would we get the money to pay for it?
Using the link provided by Monstafish and drilling down, I see where there are already swaths of land carved out of the public lands. For who and why was these parcels of land already carved out? I say that because sale of public land has been going on for centuries already and this topic right now is being used as a distraction.
During the previous Trump administration, the restrictions to several fisheries were lifted. We were able to keep Yellow Eye rockfish and other previously restricted fish. Trump stated at the time there were other fisheries he was opening up for commercial fishing also.
I agree "science data" is definitely suspect. I do know the California coast fishery is healthy for the most part and evidenced by the fish I catch.

Our Publick land and access should Never be sold to other countries and one would hope Trump will force the sale of the Publick & Private lands from the Chinese back to the US Government and opened back-up to US.
All this giant land-grab boils down to greed and once it is sold, we will never see it again.
Thanks for sending out that link.
