CHINA HAS A LOT OF FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON: GORDON CHANG

Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon Chang discusses China's rising
aggression, arguing the U.S. needs to view the country as an 'enemy.'

With lawmakers of both major parties in agreement that the United States must
push back against China's increasing influence in the U.S. economy, a House
Republican is putting forward legislation to crack down on Chinese purchases of
U.S. farmland.




Texas Rep. Chip Roy introduced the "Securing America's Land from Foreign
Interference Act" on Thursday, a bill that would prohibit any member of the
Chinese Communist Party or an entity linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
from purchasing private or public real estate in the U.S. 

The bill directs the president of the United States to "take such actions as may
be necessary" to prohibit entities that are "under the ownership, control, or
influence" of the CCP from purchasing U.S. farmland. 

"There is no reason we should allow one of our greatest adversaries — the
Chinese Communist Party – to buy up land in the United States," Roy told FOX
Business. "If the Soviet Union had been doing this in the 80s, we’d have
recognized the threat. China does is not our friend; they want to dominate us
and destroy our way of life; we need to wake up and start acting like it."

SOUTH DAKOTA GOV. KRISTI NOEM CALLS FOR CRACKDOWN ON CHINESE FARMLAND PURCHASES

Real estate purchased by foreign entities are reviewed by the Committee on
Foreign Investments in the United States, but Roy's office said legislation was
needed to prevent large purchases of U.S. land by foreign adversaries. 



Data published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2022 showed that Chinese
owners controlled about 195,000 acres of land in the U.S. worth close to $1.9
billion. According to the department, foreign investors control nearly 40
million acres of U.S. farmland, which Roy's office notes is roughly the size of
the state of Ohio. 



Republicans have previously raised concerns over Chinese land acquisitions in
the U.S., which they say could give the hostile foreign power greater control
over the food supply. 

Fifty-one Republican lawmakers sent a letter to three of President Biden's
cabinet secretaries in September warning of the "alarming development" for U.S.
National Security after a CCP-linked company bought land near North Dakota's
Grand Forks Air Force Base. 



It was not the first time a land grab by CCP-linked firms caused concern. A wind
energy farm project near Del Rio, Texas, was reportedly nixed by the Texas
government after it was revealed the 130,000 acre plot — around the size of
Tulsa, Oklahoma — was only miles away from the Laughlin Air Force Base, where
pilots are trained.

It was also revealed the Chinese billionaire who owns the company that wanted
the land, GH America Energy, formerly served in the Chinese military and has
deep ties to the CCP.

MCCARTHY, GOP, DEMS UNITE BEHIND NEW CHINA COMMITTEE: ‘THE ERA OF TRUSTING
COMMUNIST CHINA IS OVER’

Answering China's growing influence and domination of the global economy is a
bipartisan priority. House Republicans and Democrats voted together to create a
new committee to examine U.S. strategic competition with China, something House
Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., promised to do on the campaign trail in 2022. 

"We spent decades passing policies that welcomed China into the global system,"
McCarthy said Tuesday. "In return, China has exported oppression, aggression and
anti-Americanism. Today, the power of its military and economy are growing at
the expense of freedom and democracy worldwide."



The committee's mission, which was proposed by McCarthy, is to "investigate and
submit policy recommendations on the status of the Chinese Communist Party’s
economic, technological, and security progress and its competition with the
United States." It is being established after the growing realization in the
U.S. that China is America’s most immediate economic competitor and military
threat.
