Effort grows to block Chinese ownership of US land, but establishment Republicans oppose it

You control the food and farms, you control the people. This is why it is prudent at this time in history to begin social distancing from China.

According to USDA data, as of 2019, foreign investors owned at least 35.2 million acres of U.S. agricultural land. In other words, 2.7% of privately owned crop, grazing, and forest lands are owned by foreign investors. While the top foreign holders are from Canada and friendly European countries, Chinese owners controlled about 192,000 agricultural acres in the U.S., worth $1.9 billion, an amount that has grown rapidly over the past decade.

On the residential real estate side, according to the National Association of Realtors, Chinese nationals are the largest foreign buyers of property, totaling $11.5 billion in 2020 alone. Given that we now make everything in China, isn’t it obvious that we shouldn’t give the Chinese communists a foothold on our own soil to be used against us?

Food, energy, medicine – these are the things we must control in America by Americans. We cannot have China further manipulate our food supply at a time of looming scarcity. And eventually, the Chinese influence will grow further. China, which is the second largest foreign owner of land in Australia, bought an Australian island and then banned its Aussie residents from even living there. In 1993, China paid the Australian government to lease the Merredin airport for 100 years. Now China owns the airspace and Australian citizens can’t land in their own country without approval from the Chinese government.

To ensure we don’t have this problem in America, Rep. Chip Roy introduced H.R.3847: The Securing America’s Land from Foreign Interference Act, last year. The bill would categorically ban any member of the Chinese Communist Party from owning public or private real estate in the U.S. Obviously, with Democrats in control of Congress, a party that has members who literally sleep with Chinese spies, there is no prayer to get this bill passed. But it shouldn’t stop red states from instituting statewide bans on their own. – READ MORE
