How China could use U.S. farmland to attack America
BY Herschel SmithChinese entities have been acquiring land in key locations near U.S. military bases, sparking national security concerns about possible spying — or even a potential attack.
Former national security official David Feith laid out the potential risk in an interview with 60 Minutes. Feith worked on U.S.-China policy for the State Department in the first Trump administration, and until April, worked in Trump’s second administration on the National Security Council. While there, he grew increasingly alarmed by where China owns America’s farmland.
“The ability to own large tracts of land, especially close to sensitive U.S. military and government facilities, can pose an enormous problem given the nature of technology today, which is that hostile actor from all across the world can very easily exploit access to land, access to buildings and warehouses, access just to a shipping container or two and do enormous damage, either in intelligence terms or in military terms,” Feith told 60 Minutes.
Only a society that is sick unto death and desires its own destruction would give away the farm to its declared enemy.
That’s American politicians and bureaucrats for you. Sick unto death, desiring the destruction of America.

If I was running things I would continue to allow China to “buy” US land…which they CAN’T take anywhere. We get their money and when the time comes we simply say “you no longer can own US land”. Do to them exactly what they do to others…

You’d have to confiscate the land back before they launched all of those drones into the air around the military bases, comms and industry.
