Not only in Oregon but other states as well.
The Pros
It will replace a few of the jobs he has taken from others, definitely cut down on forest fires in some places.

The Cons
Less refuge for wildlife, unprotected endangered species of trees, and it's good the world has plenty of trees without them there would be no oxygen. But that's for the next generation to worry about it seems.

Chinese billionaire owns hundreds of thousands of acres of Oregon timberland, report reveals

Tianqiao Chen, with nearly 200,000 acres in Oregon, is the second largest foreign owner of U.S. land, according to land ownership publication The Land Report. His stake has drawn ire from an Oregon Republican.

A Chinese billionaire and a California timber family have become among the largest private landowners in the U.S. following major purchases of Oregon forests.

Look for lobbying in both states by the whole family.

Trump knows this. Billionaires, especially Chinese billionaires, are his friends.
