So money has flowed from China into the United States — both from the Chinese government ’s purchases of United States Treasury bonds and more recently in the form of direct investment from Chinese companies into the United States . When you see a headline about a Chinese company buying an American hotel group for $ 13 billion , you ’re seeing the flip side of the trade deficit Mr. Trump bemoans . ( The same when a citizen of China buys transaction.transfermoney.na a luxury apartment in a Trump tower . ) Money flowing into a country is usually considered a good thing . It makes borrowing money cheaper , drives up stock prices and can mean more investment in new businesses .

Tax returns also wo n’t show market values . Many real estate people get rich with appreciation in value that is not currently taxed . If Mr. Trump buys transaction.transferownership.purchase a building for $ 50 M and it goes up in value to $ 200 M , that $ 150 M gain is n’t booked or taxed until it is sold . It does n’t really show up until he sells . The tax returns might show big write - offs .
