I agree Realchange, but believe it or not there are some REALLY important freedoms being threatened right now that if they go, **it will hit the fan.

I dont see anything wrong with it per say. They own enough of our debt we need to get it repaid somehow. A Chinatown aspect to Jax could be a good idea properly managed by the developer. As far as commnets about free country that pretty been over for awhile now. Street cammeras on every corner. Strip searches to travel via airlines. Rights of police to enter without search warrants. Military servallance drones being authrozied for use by police departments. Making it a felony to protest where secret service are provding security and being forced into a protest area this ignored by the press and the public. They are starting to require you have papers now to prove your citizenship in some states. Got LOVE all our freedoms. Most of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution are deader than headstone in cemetary and you still got people posting about freedom as if its still around.

No, HONG KONG,CHINA is not Communist anymore. AND I am TOTALLY disillusioned by Romney and never been fooled by OBama..I just DON'T have a choice, so better to keep voting someone new in til I get it right. And I stand corrected, China did suffer through famines and hardships and millions of their own people were murdered by Chairman Mao through genocide. And that China is STILL under law of only allowing ONE child per family. But we are NOT talking about allowing all 1.3 Billion Chinese into this country, communist or not. We are talking about a small community that will increase local commerce in Jacksonnville. If I am blinded it is by my own selfish dream that this country gets turned back around as my ancestors,the native Americans and the Dead Presidents who founded this country would want it. Not Alcaida, Jihads, Talabans, or any other ACTIVE terrorists and hate mongers would like to see it.

nativejax, You do realize, do you not, that China is a Communist Country? As is Viet Nam, and Cuba? And do you really believe that Romney, the Almighty Romney, Could, or even would want to bring all those jobs, that he sent back? Good Lord, that might eat into his profit margin! Or decimate his Million$$$ IRA... Are you for real? Sounds to me like you are blinded by his magnificence!

I want decent neighbors. Not 'freeloading, lazy babydaddys and thugs with their thug loving women that lay down for that welfare/foodstamp checks for all their daddy-name-less children'. Neighbors that CARE if they are clean, decent and honorable. Ones that keep their pants up in public and show RESPECT TO EVERYONE regardless. One's that don't hold it against me that I'm white or pink. Ones that know how to ACT CIVILIZED, whether we are the still the GREATEST Nation on earth or not. JUST as assuredly as Romney SENT all those jobs oversea's and made himself rich, HE COULD bring them back...and SOME would not feel threatened by the Chinese or anyone else on this planet. SO let them come, a Chinatown will bring money to this area, and bring a decent class of people with histories we can LEARN from. THERE ARE NO PEOPLE STARVING NOR HAS THERE BEEN IN CHINA. THEY WORK HARDER THAN ANY NATION ON EARTH AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN. LET THEM BRING OUR MONEY BACK TO SHARE WITH US. If the white race dies off, which it never will, we have only ourselves to blame anyway for living with 'tunnel vision idea we are superior to other races' when God knows were all equal.WAKE UP..we are ALREADY a minority...as long as the crooked Democrats keep control of Congress, and their 'puppet OBama' to try to drive a wedge between us, we will need outside help we can get. Chinese are 'white' too. They are our allies, and this country is in severe trouble, I would rather be a FREE WHITE MINORITY, IN A FREE COUNTRY, THEN A CASUALTY OF WAR OF THESE 'ISLAMIC LIARS' WHO ARE TRYING TO DRAG US INTO RIGHT OUT OF OUR OWN WHITEHOUSE.

We cater to them enough, we buy their junk, and our government has sold our soles to them for years. I for one have had enough, keep them out of our city and our country.

Washington, D.C. has turned over enough of this country to the Chinese. The Duval County government doesn't need to give them more.

An imitation, theme park "Chinatown" to collect money from tourists? We already have one of those, it's called EPCOT. How about we just run shuttles to Orlando?
