In Alaska I saw a lot of small buisnesses that were for sale. The majority of these would go to Alaska buisnesses that wanted a new place or realty companies that wanted to demo/build new. Then there was always a Chinese company not based in the us that would buy sone up. I saw a grocery store in big lake go to Chinese ownership. I could be wrong and it was just some locals making it sound bad but it’s nothing new. The Chinese either their people or their government love buying American buisnesses/soil.
