China's Secret Land Grab is a National Security Threat to US Agriculture

China has been buying hundreds of thousands of acres of American farmland, including areas that function as military bases. This land ownership enables China to potentially control food supply chains, including seeds and livestock processing, posing a strategic threat beyond mere economics.

Peter highlights that China consumes 50% of the world's pork, and their acquisition of Smithfield Foods gives them outsized influence over pork production, an example of food control as a weapon. This strategy mirrors their land acquisition practices in Africa, where they bring in Chinese workers and ship food back to China while locals suffer.

The bottom line: food security is national security. The U.S. must act to regain control of critical agriculture infrastructure and protect innovation in farming technology to prevent being treated like a colony by foreign powers.
