U.S President Joe Biden told the media earlier in 2021 after a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping that China was “going to eat our lunch.” Heads up, they already are- literally eating our lunch as they buy up American farmland and invest in thousands of American companies.
“The current trend in the U.S. is leading us toward the creation of a Chinese-owned agricultural land monopoly,” Representative Dan Newhouse (R-WA) warned in a recent House Appropriations hearing.
According to American Military News, Newhouse raised his concerns about Chinese land ownership as he proposed an amendment in a new agricultural appropriations bill, H.R. 4356. The amendment would block any new agricultural purchases by companies wholly or partly controlled by the Chinese government. Furthermore, it would ban existing Chinese-owned farms in the U.S. from drawing from federal agricultural support programs.
Rep. Newhouse is an agricultural scientist and served as Director of Agriculture in Washington from 2009-2013. Democrats were fearful that the amendment might cause an anti-Asian backlash through the country, but the legislative package passed the House on a bipartisan vote. The issue now is the Senate.

One could also change the property tax assessments based on ownership.
Screw you Newhouse. You and your adjacent WA-HD Herrera-Beutler RINO corruptocrat. Aren’t you glad you both voted to impeach Trump now.
They bought every townhouse in Vancouver and still had some money left over
More than 900 million acres of farmland in USA. Maybe 30 million acres owned by foreigners, the majority of whom are from Canada and Netherlands. Chinese are bit players.
I thought it was Bill Gates who bought all the farmland...
Even if the GOP regains the House & Senate, we cannot count on them doing anything about it...
The long inexorable march into the current tyranny under which we bear our chains occurred, uninterrupted, throughout almost all of GOP history...
The tree needs watering...
Remember in the ‘70s when the Japanese were buying all the choice real estate like Pebble Beach and everyone was all afraid that they would end up owning everything and we would all end up having to eat fugu and suchlike?
Just because they’re buying it now doesn’t mean they’re going to be able to keep it.

Sounded like maybe a stretch, till I found this:

While flames from traditional cremation allow toxins and some of the deceased’s remains to float into the air as the tissue decomposes and evaporates, the water cremation process dissolves tissues and bone while the excess fluid drains into the black wastewater treatment system.
They have bought up almost all of the land in Texas around where I live in Richmond, Rosenberg, Wallis, Sealy, etc.
Are General Austin and General "willie" Milley too busy purging Americans out of our military and setting up castrations for the 'soldiers' who want to become fake women to even notice the threats to our country?
If our current Pentagon lowlife blowhards had been running things in World War II they'd let Germans buy our farmlands, processing plants and munitions factories. We'd all be speaking German today. The US military and 'intelligence' don't give a damn about the country... just about their 'perks'... eff 'em.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Exactly, it’s not like they can move it, they still owe taxes on it, and are still subject to state and federal laws.
It’s a concern, not impending doom…
If I am not mistaken Mexico limits foreign ownership of land. For a reason. We should have put that in our Constitution.
Ask the Germans what happened to their US properties in 2 world wars.
Several ag states prohibit foreign ownership.
Reality check here, while there should be obvious limits to foreign powers owning land. If we wanted it back, nothing would stop us from taking it back. China cannot occupy American soil, its a logistical nightmare to try. They don’t have the military for it, and won’t for 15 years if they started new massive buildups now. They would need millions in an occupy force alone, not to mention many many millions in logistical personnel. Not just what they have right now, orders of magnitude more. That’s not happening without becoming the kind of massive clue even the totally clueless lemmings in the Pentagon and Washington wouldn’t miss.
But also the land is not also not as much as total farmland in the USA. There’s a bigger total which dwafsh this. Owning land might be a form of value hedge for inflation, its likely a kind of financial hedge imo.
If U.S. politicians weren’t paid off, this would be illegal.
Why are the rich buying land?
I’m convinced they are expecting hyperinflation.
Land retains value when fiat currencies become worthless.
