China's increasing US real estate portfolio a major cause for domestic concern: Carter
Fox News
Chinese Communist Party-linked businesses are buying up large pieces of US farmland in North Dakota and Texas, plus other real estate interests in Florida.
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Most of the land is very close to sensitive US military installations," she told Fox News. "For example, in 2021, 130,000 acres of land was purchased right here in Del Rio, Texas, along the US-Mexico border by a former Chinese military official. That land is very close to Laughlin Air Base. It actually surrounds that sensitive airbase."
Not only is Laughlin a security concern given Chinese proximity, but the open, uncontrolled U.S.-Mexican border presents another complication, given the amount of Chinese-linked fentanyl is being smuggled in from Mexico, she added.
