Well, one group of Texas ranchers is tackling this issue head-on, and they're right on the brink of driving out a Chinese billionaire with connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who has bought more than 130,000 acres of farmland in the state.
From The Daily Mail:
Sun Guangxin, who has extensive ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), paid an estimated $110million for swathes of Texan real estate between 2016 and 2018 in an unprecedented foreign land grab in the Lone Star State.
But DailyMail.com understands he has now sold the most controversial part of his portfolio, a 15,000-acre ranch that included plans for a 46-turbine wind farm, and is planning to offload the rest of his vast Texan empire.
Opponents of the wind farm claim it would provide the former Chinese military captain access to the state electric grid, presenting a potential risk to energy security given Sun's well-documented loyalty to the Chinese state.
The fight is far from over, however, with campaigners claiming ongoing dealings could allow the billionaire to retain an interest in the property, providing Beijing with a backdoor to critical state infrastructure.
DailyMail.com can also reveal that a report written by former CIA officials alleged Sun would likely be considered an agent of the Chinese state by US authorities due to his close ties with the CCP and its military - and that his proposed wind farm could present a threat to national security.
It claimed the site, which is a mere 30 miles from a major US Air Force base, would also provide espionage opportunities for Beijing.
Honestly, there is way too much foreign money tied up in our country, and real estate is sadly one of them.
We need to stand up and take back our country, like these Texas ranchers have done, and that starts, most importantly, with land.
