One Piece Of Legislation Could Save US Land From Being Bought By China
Republican Texas Rep. Beth Van Duyne introduced legislation Friday that would prevent undisclosed purchases of U.S. farmland, particularly from Chinese interests.
The Protecting American Farmland Act would adjust the U.S. tax code to prevent the sale of some of our most precious landscapes to foreign individuals. “China is relentlessly trying to undermine our country—whether it’s poisoning our citizens with fentanyl smuggled in through our southern border, spying on us, or filling the global stage that has been left empty by the Biden Administration,” Van Duyne said of the bill.

“American farmland—especially here in Texas—is the new frontline in our fight against the Chinese Communist Party’s aggressions. I’m glad to join Chairman Jason Smith in introducing this bill to keep our farmland from enemy hands, protecting our nation’s farmers, supply chains, and security.”
Protecting America From China Is More Important Than Ever
The bill stipulates that any “country of concern” would face a 60% exercise tax, according to the legislation. Such nations are defined as any that “is engaged in long-term pattern or serious instances of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States.”
Other nations, such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela, are also noted alongside China. (LEARN MORE: China’s Stealth Invasion Of America Is Happening Now, Experts Warn)
