China made huge land purchase just minutes from top secret US military base

A Chinese government -linked company bought a huge plot of land just miles from a crucial military drone base in North Dakota .

Fufeng Group, a massive agricultural company with strong ties to Beijing , purchased 370 acres as a location for its new wet corn mill in the agribusiness park in Grand Forks, a short distance from Grand Forks Air Force Base .

The Grand Forks base is one of the key locations for the RQ-4 Global Hawk drone , a “remotely piloted aircraft with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities” used by the United States around the world.

Did you know China has been aggressively buying up farmland near America’s most sensitive military bases?

We should be very concerned about this, here’s why:
1. China wants to control America’s food supply.
2. China wants to control America’s energy resources.
3. China wants to control America.

Concerns over the land buy come after Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), and John Hoeven (R-ND) sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asking the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to “conduct a review of Chinese food manufacturer Fufeng Group’s recent purchase.”

The Department of Agriculture said in 2018 that “the incorporation of agricultural investment into broader geopolitical objectives is reflected by the prominence” of the Chinese government’s “Belt and Road” initiative.
