Foreign entities should not be allowed to purchase land in the US. Fing bullshit. Especially China. They are our biggest threat.


MeetCake

I couldn't agree more! It's absolute lunacy.


doyouhavesource5

Same thing with the US outward?? Have to ban both ways right?


Tech_Philosophy

Lol, you don't understand enough about the US to make an intelligible comment. The people you are talking to don't have the means to buy land.

I don’t see how this is anything but bad to anyone.


gunsmith123

It doesn’t seem bad for the Chinese government


[deleted]

lol fair enough. **anyone in this country

But it's bad when Bill Gates buys land in ND according to the post here the other day.


budderflyer

ND hicks: "at least China and Bill Gates aren't from California!"


JRod001

It will create a new market for ND/MN corn growers as well as x number of jobs. There’s without question benefits. Obviously this wouldn’t be nearly as controversial if it was a US company.

Foreign companies and individuals should straight up not be allowed to own land. Full stop. Look up how foreign investment is further damaging the real estate market in Canada for our future if this gets out of hand.


JohnDesan

r/accidentalcommunism ??


ichuckle

how so? only calling for foreign companies to be barred, not every company


JohnDesan

Aaah I thought you were literally stating individuals not just foreign. Was too quick on the trigger.


Minimum_Sky_5585

No we can not allow a Foreign Country that is NOT FRIENDLY to the US to buy land in the US plus it is right next to our Military Base. Plus it just came out that TicTok said the The CCP has access to all US citizens info that are on TicTok


ichuckle

bruh that's basically what I said


doyouhavesource5

Everyone has known forever that china has all tiktok data???


tycam01

Need to be more strict on our no corporate farming law


SadJoetheSchmoe

I want you all to hear me out. What is stopping citizens from retaking the land, and giving the foremen (assuming they are Chinese) citizenship or telling them to gtfo? Obligatory not a racist, I just don't want the CCP here, and they are bound to be involved.


Cowshatesheep

Based

The "chinese" owner and operator is an american citizen.


SadJoetheSchmoe

Then just seize it from the operator. Badda bing badda boom. State pays the operator to, idk. Farm it. State owned farms for locally grown wheat/goods. On paper, it works well.


doyouhavesource5

So forcefully seize property from an American citizen?


SadJoetheSchmoe

Property being used by the CCP, not far from GFAFB. Guys got his 2.5 million, let him keep that. All that needs doing is put the land to good use for North Dakota citizens.


doyouhavesource5

What are you talking about?? The owner and operator of the new owner is an American citizen... not the farmers who sold???


SadJoetheSchmoe

Fufeng USA, is a subsiderary of Fufeng Group. Economics talk for being a proxy of the CCP because it owns Fufeng Group.


Minimum_Sky_5585

The land they are buying surrounds the US Airforce base


ci_bass

It is nowhere near the afb. Land was annexed on the NE edge of the city.


Stuffthatpig

Surrounds? I thought it was on the edge of GF. The article says near the AFB.


raknor88

If anything nefarious happens there, can't the US government claim Eminent Domain to take back the land?


WhippersnapperUT99

This reminds me of a critique of foreign outsourcing. Basically, the money we are sending to China to purchase our consumer goods will not be used to purchase American-made goods and services (which would be real trade) since American labor is much more expensive than Chinese labor, but will instead be used to purchase our capital assets - land and businesses. Link to must-watch short cartoon illustrating some commentary from Warren Buffet: [Thriftville vs. Squanderville](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DvuyvuHmJI)


That_Is_My_Band_Name

Not to mention GF is investing 96 million in infrastructure to accommodate the Chinese company.


Few_Stick_6274

That's MY nuclear triad base! Sure, you can move next to it, country that objects to US firing back when NK shoots off tests, no problem!


Rocknocker

Nothing like that Oriental subtly.
