If Biden won't stop land grabs by China, Congress will

China is amassing a secret weapon inside our own borders: significant control over America's most valuable farmland.

First, China is seeking greater control of food supplies—both ours and its own. The CCP understands that food is essential to a nation’s survival, especially in times of conflict. The pandemic and the war in Ukraine have already revealed the fragility of America’s food supply. If Communist China can gain even partial control over U.S. domestic agriculture, high prices and empty shelves could become weapons of war.

China is also acutely aware of its own reliance on imports to feed its 1.4 billion citizens. It’s no surprise that China’s acquisitions of farmland extend far beyond our own country. In the decade following 2009, Chinese agricultural investments worldwide grew tenfold, bolstering its ability to redirect the world’s food to its own people.
