Former President Donald Trump, the GOP nominee for president in this year’s election, told Breitbart News exclusively that on Monday in Pennsylvania, he intends to light up Chinese Communist Party (CCP) efforts to buy American farmland out from underneath the United States.
“We have to have control of our land,” Trump said in a nearly hour-long phone interview with Breitbart News on Sunday afternoon. “We have to have control of our economy. We have to have control of our borders. We have to make sure we’re in charge of our own country. We’re losing that with these people, these unbelievable so-called leaders we have. They’re allowing our country to be sold out from under us. We have to be very careful and we have to be very prudent. We can’t let this happen. Do you think China would let us go in and buy their land and do what they do? I don’t think so, okay. It won’t happen. So we have to be very careful.”
China and Chinese companies buying up land in the United States has been a rising concern for many years. The CCP and its affiliated entities have been buying up farmland from coast to coast, including near military bases. The issue cropped up big time in connection with the Chinese spy balloon that was first spotted over Montana and then flew across the entire country. Of course, while that happened, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris just allowed the CCP’s surveillance balloon to traverse the entire continental United States until Biden finally ordered the Air Force to shoot it down once it crossed over South Carolina off the coast into the Atlantic Ocean...

The Kamala Klub will probably respond by calling Trump’s opinion “Xenophobic”, without even bothering to address his motivations for such an opinion.

Bump this! Protect American farmland!
China owns 384,000 acres of US land, or more.
Not updated but here is a statistic from Georgia Congressman Mike Collins. July 26, 2023 on his website.
“Xi Jinping has clearly stated that by 2049 he wants China to be the world leader—diplomatically, economically, militarily, even in space.”
“China owns $870 billion in U.S. Treasuries that finance our debt. And they either own or have a huge portion of the Chicago Stock Exchange, AMC movie theaters, General Electric’s appliance division, General Motors, and Smithfield Foods just to name a few.”
“On another alarming note, folks. China owns 384,000 acres of American agricultural land. That’s a 30% increase just since 2019. And on top of that, they own land near an air force base in North Dakota. That’s a clear threat to our national security....”
Chinas internal economic issues will force them to sell eventually.
Remember the outrage when Japan was buying up the country?
Hope we last long enough for that. Depends on what VP Walz allows us-——God forbid the Dems take over.
I remember those days when Japan figured since they knew only tightly controlled overcrowding on the island, there was no way American real estate wouldn’t be a guaranteed moneymaker, too. Japan would rule the world shortly.
Days of Sum of All Fears and Debt of Honor by the late Tom Clancy.
President Trump paints one more target on his back.
If President Trump returns to the Oval Office, and serves 4 years, it will truly be a gift from G-d.
“”Remember the outrage when Japan was buying up the country?””
I was most amused back then. When someone would shout “oh, no! They have bought Pebble Beach (golf courses, resorts, etc) in Monterey, California.”.
Once the screaming ceased, I would calmly ask “so, what do you think, are they going to pick up Pebble Beach and move it to Tokyo?” Some understood. The rest...... Oh, well....
This is what happens when you run trade deficits. The imbalance of payments is resolved through ownership of debt, business interests and land, and thereby foreigners come to own your irreplaceable means of production instead of your replaceable production.
I do not respond to bullying/trolling remarks

I think as the Newbie/Zeeper/NeoCon/Kamala-Luvng POS that you are, you really need to.
China’s not Japan.
And that was just Japanese investors looking to make a buck.
True. But as they say, history does not repeat, but it can rhyme.

Japan wasn’t an enemy…
In China, all land is owned by the CCP which leases it to connected parties for 70 years; the land then reverts to CCP ownership.
The CCP leadership dream is to own all land in the US, not just a parcel here and there. They have polluted their country beyond belief and seek land with clean soil and clean air.
Selling land they own in the US is the last thing they would ever do, as that would be an admission of failure. The CCP can never fail or be wrong, else the CCP would fall, so detractors and critics are removed.
What irks me is that all of this is fixable, even in the span of one 4 year presidency. The debt, China’s creeping influence, all of it, easily fixed.
Ramp up oil exploration and drilling across every mile of our territory. Approve massive infrastructure upgrades including primarily nuclear power plants. Shutter every last unnecessary executive branch agency. Impose tariffs on foreign imports. Reduce and remove regulation across most major industries, esp. manufacturing and mining. Ignore every last major lobbying group and shutdown the monopolies on pharma and big agriculture.
Basically take us back to pre-1920s era America, and we’ll absolutely outpace the Chinese and most major global powers in every possible way.
I favor a blocked currency such as what India has to force financial balance in trade. We can’t continue forever to run federal fiscal deficits to fill the currency drain of trade deficits.
Money coming from a retailer like Walmart or a car dealer would not be able to be used to buy farmland or any financial product.
Except for US resident personal exemptions, financial accounts would get taxed every Friday night. Instead of Federal Reserve interest rate manipulation, the tax rate and exemptions would vary depending on the unemployment rate and the age of the account holder.
Reciprocity is key. The US is not allowed to buy property in China for use as farmland.
So, can foreigners buy property in China? The answer is yes, foreigners are allowed to purchase property in China! The essential requirement is that you have studied or worked in China for at least one year on a residence permit. Foreigners are allowed to only own one residential property for dwelling purposes.
