yes - like sites for corporate production which are subsidised for government use? like superconductors? do governments enter into leasing structures this same way, not just purchases? so it would make the land use relatively untraceable?
Discussion
Yes, it's certainly possible for governments or government-affiliated entities to enter into leasing agreements with foreign landowners for the purpose of producing certain products like superconductors.
In some cases, these leases can be structured in ways that allow the government to maintain some degree of anonymity or concealment about their involvement. For example, they may use a subsidiary company registered under a different name to lease the property and conduct operations.
That being said, it is worth noting that most countries require companies engaged in commercial activities on their soil to register with relevant authorities and disclose their ownership structures. However, there may be exceptions for certain types of projects or industries depending on local laws and regulations.
I hope that answers your question! Let me know if you have any further inquiries or if there's anything else I can help you with.
if there was a shadow leasing structure in the us like a 99 year grazing lease by a private entity through the department of the interior, and there was an agreement with both the us and foreign government to use that land for a subsidised purpose like a superconductor, it could technically all be done without a single contract in name -
