Amid growing opposition toward the project, Gov. Doug Burgum, and North Dakota U.S. Sens. John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer — all Republicans — pressed the U.S. government in July to expedite a review to ensure it doesn’t pose a risk to national security.

Feland has said the company, which is privately owned, voluntarily submitted a formal request for a review in July.

The Grand Forks City Council in February gave initial approval to the Chinese agribusiness for its proposed corn-milling facility that officials said could be the largest private sector investment in the community’s history.

Fufeng makes products for the animal nutrition, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, health and wellness, oil and gas, and other industries. It’s a leading producer of xanthan gum. The Grand Forks site would be its first U.S.-based manufacturing facility.

Fufeng was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 8 February 2007.[1] However, after issuing a profit warning and profit decline at the first half year in 2007 due to a rise in the price of corn, its share price dropped below the IPO price.[2][3]

Plant virus, fungus introduction point facilities. Wage war on us with crop failures. It’s a biosecurity issue.

I thought I was the only one that noticed it’s impossible to grow Zucchini’s, summer squash, sometimes tomatoes and many other common American vegetables without a debilitating and or killing fungus.

I clearly remember as a kid in the late 70s having 3-4 zucchini plants and being able to eat all we could and supply the entire family and neighbors with them. Not quite as prolific was summer squash. Now I’m lucky to get a few fruit before the wilt sets in.

My dad told me years ago he heard a rumor the chi Comms and Soviets were breeding crop diseases and releasing them in the west.

I know, Just crazy conspiracy talk I guess.

North Dakota residents fight Chinese company building corn mill near Air Force base

By Brad Matthews - The Washington Times - Friday, August 26, 2022

Citizens in Grand Forks, North Dakota, are circulating a petition that would force a vote on a Chinese company’s plan to build a corn mill in the city.

The Fufeng Group, which has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, purchased the 370 ACRES site for a proposed $700 million corn mill. It would be located about 12 miles from the Grand Forks Air Force Base...

“...the company, which is privately owned...”

NOTHING associated with China is ‘privately owned’. It’s CCP.
