The US intelligence community faces a challenge in countering Chinese espionage due to the large number of people involved. China is willing to deploy not only operatives from its main spy agency, MSS, but also ordinary citizens who are coerced through threats against their families in mainland China. This resembles the tactics of a mafia organization. Additionally, China has been reported to acquire land for military bases, a practice that should be prohibited.

The speaker asserts that the consolidation of the meat processing business, enabled by the government, has negatively impacted the national economic health. They claim that two foreign government-controlled companies acquired major players in the industry. One is controlled by the Chinese, who bought Smithfield, and the other is a Brazilian company. According to the speaker, 85% of the industry is now controlled by four companies, dictating market conditions. They express concern that the government allowed over 50% of beef processing to be controlled by foreign entities, which they believe compromises food source security, especially given the current geopolitical climate. They question why a potential adversary would control 25% of US meat processing.

I'm in Sherwood, Connecticut, discussing why entities like Gates and China are buying up American farmland. My experience with factory farms highlights this issue. For 20 years, I sued large producers like Smithfield Foods, which built a massive slaughterhouse in North Carolina. Partnering with a state senator, they passed laws making it illegal to sue factory farms. This led to the demise of 28,000 independent hog farmers, replaced by a few large factories controlled by Smithfield. They dictate farming practices, leaving farmers with no control. As a result, Smithfield now controls 80% of hog production in North Carolina and sold itself to China, threatening the vision of American democracy rooted in independent family farms. This industrial agriculture not only compromises food quality but also undermines our landscapes and democracy.

Syngenta, a Chinese state-owned agri-chemical company, must give up its land holdings in Arkansas due to concerns over national security. The company's ownership, Kim China, is on the Department of Defense's list of Chinese military companies posing a clear threat. The fear is that Chinese state-owned corporations are stealing American research and sharing it with their homeland, compromising American farms. To address this, Act 525 was signed to ban Chinese and Russian made drones, and Act 758 was signed to prohibit public contracts with the CCP. If Syngenta refuses to sell, legal proceedings may be initiated to force them out of the state. Arkansas is committed to protecting its farmers and national security interests.

The speaker says the cattle industry has changed dramatically due to government allowance of meat processing consolidation. Four giant companies consolidated, which has a detrimental effect on national economic health. The government allowed two giant companies controlled by foreign governments to acquire US companies. One is controlled by the Chinese, who bought Smithfield, and the other is a Brazilian company. Four companies now control 85% of the industry and dictate who gets what, where, and when. The speaker claims the government has allowed over 50% of beef processing to be controlled by countries outside of the US. The speaker questions why the US would want an antagonist controlling 25% of its meat processing, citing food source security and the geopolitical situation.

I'm here to address why figures like Gates and China are acquiring farmland. I spent 20 years involved with factory farms and saw firsthand how Smithfield Foods transformed North Carolina's pork industry. Smithfield built a massive slaughterhouse and partnered with a state senator who made it nearly impossible to sue factory farms. They then introduced warehouse-style pig farming, driving pork prices down and forcing 28,000 independent hog farmers out of business, replacing them with 2,200 factories. Farmers who remained became controlled by Smithfield, losing autonomy over their land and practices. This model spread to Iowa, and eventually, Smithfield sold itself to China, giving them control over a large portion of American hog production. This shift undermines the vision of a democracy rooted in independent family farms and poses a significant threat to our democracy by consolidating control of our landscapes.

Speaker 0 discusses a Daily Caller report claiming a US nuclear bomber fleet shares a fence with a trailer park linked to Chinese intelligence. A Chinese couple allegedly bought the trailer park and used multiple shell companies to conceal their identities. The park is in Missouri, near Whiteman Air Force Base, where America’s largest B-2 bomber fleet operates and where the B-2s would take off over land now owned by Chinese interests. The shell companies reportedly trace back to a convicted fraudster with alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Speaker 1 confirms Whiteman Air Force Base is in their district and notes it is the home of the B-2 stealth bomber and soon the B-21 Raider, which will increase the base’s size. This, they say, makes the Chinese investment more valuable. They describe the transaction as occurring in 2017. In January 2024, Missouri Governor Mike Parson issued an executive order prohibiting citizens or companies from foreign adversarial nations from owning property within 10 miles of a Department of Defense base, and Speaker 1 says they sought to expand that with the American Land and Property Protection Act. The Act would state that if you are a member of a foreign adversarial nation—China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, or Russia—neither a citizen nor a company of those nations can own property in the United States, including an outhouse. They argue that this should extend beyond specific states and bases. Speaker 0 questions why the law wouldn’t prevent ownership by Chinese individuals who already own property in the US, such as condos, and mentions that there is a Department of Treasury committee known as CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States) that should review such acquisitions. They claim that under the Biden administration, CFIUS was not performing adequately, and that prior administrations also failed to do their job. They reference that CFIUS regulations were being developed but did not include certain bases on prior lists, prompting questions about why US military bases—one part of the nuclear triad—were not on the list for scrutiny. They list bases potentially affected by Chinese land purchases: Fort Bragg, Naval Air Station Norfolk, Wright-Patterson, and Whiteman Air Force Base. Speaker 0 asks how to stop B-2 bombers from flying over Chinese-owned land immediately. Speaker 1 suggests leveraging CFIUS under the Treasury Department and notes their position on the Financial Services General Government Appropriations subcommittee to push action and oversight of CFIUS.

China is buying up various sectors of the US economy, including technology, food supplies, farmland, minerals, natural resources, ports, shipping terminals, and even pillars of the energy industry. The speaker expresses concern about Chinese communist activity in the US and emphasizes that economic security is national security. They propose enacting new restrictions on Chinese ownership of vital infrastructure, stopping future Chinese purchases in essential industries, and forcing the Chinese to sell any current holdings that pose a risk to national security. The speaker vows to ensure that America's future remains in American hands and promises a stronger country under their leadership.

The congresswoman states the CCP is not our friend and that Chinese companies must turn over information to the CCP. Michigan lawmakers approved nearly $800 million for the Goshen plant, a subsidiary of a CCP-owned company, to implant Chinese workers and technology near an intelligence program and military facility. The US has found Chinese technology is used to spy on Americans and steal proprietary information. The previous president of Ferris State intertwined with Goshen leaders and there was a soft agreement to house unvetted PRC nationals. Goshen also had conversations with the university to support building elements. China's national intelligence laws require PRC nationals to surveil, collect, and report. Stakeholders with Goshen signed NDAs, which is a red flag. National Security Intelligence Agencies convened state and local officials to warn against being duped by business deals with China. Transparency would reveal elite capture, influence operations, and corruption. The congresswoman is concerned about the plant's proximity to a military facility and Ferris State, combined with NDAs and secrecy.

Government documents reveal that Dr. Chu, head of the special pathogens unit at the Winnipeg lab, poses a serious threat to Canada's security. She has been in contact with foreign entities, including conducting joint research with a top virologist from the People's Liberation Army in China. This raises concerns about the potential theft of dangerous materials and espionage activities that could harm Canada's economic security.

I'm at Sherwood Island in Connecticut, discussing the issue of farmland ownership by Gates and China. My experience in factory farming, particularly with Smithfield Foods in North Carolina, illustrates this problem. Smithfield built a massive slaughterhouse and partnered with Wendell Murphy, who passed laws making it illegal to sue factory farms. This led to the closure of 28,000 independent hog farmers, replaced by 2,100 factory farms controlled by Smithfield. Farmers who contracted with Smithfield lost control over their operations, becoming dependent on the company. As a result, Smithfield now controls 80% of hog production in North Carolina and expanded this model nationwide before selling to China. This shift undermines the vision of independent family farms and poses a significant threat to American democracy and our agricultural landscape.

I'm here to discuss why companies like Gates and China are buying up farmland. I spent years suing factory farms, including Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer. Smithfield came to North Carolina and, with a partner, created large-scale hog warehouses, dropping pork prices from 60¢ to 2¢ a pound. This put 28,000 independent hog farmers out of business, replaced by 2,200 factories controlled by or contracted to Smithfield. Farmers became like serfs on their own land, losing control over their practices. Smithfield dictated everything. Because of the price drop in North Carolina, Iowa had to adopt the same system. Eventually Smithfield controlled 80% of US hog production and then sold itself to China. Now China owns a large part of our hog production, threatening Thomas Jefferson's vision of a democracy rooted in independent family farms. This industrial agriculture gives us substandard food and threatens American democracy.

A Chinese company is planning to build an electric vehicle battery plant in Michigan and intends to bring 20 to 50 Chinese nationals to the United States. Concerns are raised about the potential for espionage by these individuals on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. It is believed that the Chinese government will exploit this opportunity to gather intelligence and gain economic advantages that are contrary to the interests of the United States. It is crucial to use intelligence capabilities to monitor their activities and protect national security. The construction of these plants is seen as a significant threat and should not proceed.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that countries outside the US have significant influence over our meat processing, posing a risk to our geopolitical situation.

Syngenta, a Chinese state-owned agri-chemical company, is required to give up its land holdings in Arkansas due to concerns about national security. The company's ownership, Kim China, is on the Department of Defense's list of Chinese military companies posing a threat. The fear is that Chinese-owned corporations are stealing American research and sharing it with their homeland, potentially targeting American farms. To address this, Arkansas has banned Chinese and Russian-made drones and public contracts with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If Syngenta refuses to sell, legal action may be taken to remove them from the state. Arkansas is committed to protecting its farmers and national security interests.

Thank you, Rick. President Trump recognized the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party and took significant steps to protect Americans. Currently, China owns over 349,000 acres of agricultural land in the U.S., an increase of 82% in three years, which poses a national security risk. During his presidency, Trump enacted measures to review CCP land purchases near critical infrastructure and championed the USMCA, which boosted U.S. agricultural exports by $2 billion annually. In contrast, Kamala Harris opposed the USMCA and Trump's tariffs on China, undermining support for American farmers. Today, we gather to address the concerns of Pennsylvania farmers regarding China's influence on our food supply, with President Trump here to listen and respond.

Goshen, a CCP-affiliated company, plans to build an electric vehicle battery factory in Speaker 0's district. The company has received a large sum of money from federal, state, and local taxes. Goshen intends to bring Chinese nationals to Michigan, raising concerns about potential espionage. Speaker 1 explains that the issue stems from the blurred line between the Chinese government and its private sector. The Chinese government's authority and access could be used to undermine national security.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem discusses the need to ban China from owning US land due to their increasing control over American agriculture. She highlights the vulnerability of the US supply chain, as China controls 80% of prescription drug ingredients. Governor Noem also mentions China's use of state-run propaganda during the COVID-19 pandemic, threatening to withhold prescription drugs from the US. She supports a bill to prevent the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and other adversaries from owning US farmland, citing their aggressive tactics to acquire land near strategic air force bases and national defense resources. The goal, she argues, is to eliminate the United States and establish China as the dominant global power.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that over 85% of the industry is now controlled by these companies, impacting who gets what, where, and when. Allowing foreign control of such a vital industry poses risks to our economic and geopolitical stability.

Speaker 0: ChemChina is producing pesticides in China that are not allowed to be used in China and shipping them over here for us to use and to harm ourselves with. So we're dealing with foreign companies that are happy to offload their toxic products onto us and then demand liability protection.

Chinese drones with direct links to the Chinese Communist Party are being used against the interests of the United States. These drones collect data and video, posing a significant national security risk. Even federal, state, and local agencies are purchasing drones from DJI, a company tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Adversaries like Russia and Hamas are also using these drones against US interests. To address this issue, the American Security Drone Act has been co-sponsored, which prohibits the purchase of drones from entities connected to US adversaries, particularly China. It is crucial to eliminate these vulnerabilities by refraining from buying drones from CCP-affiliated companies. The Chinese Communist Party's access to sensitive information must be curtailed to protect national security.

The largest pork producer in the US is Chinese-owned, leading to negative impacts on small farms. The hog industry has seen a drastic decline in independent producers due to vertical integration. Smithfield Farms, the top pork producer, is Chinese-owned, raising concerns for consumers. While reversing the hog industry's consolidation may be challenging, efforts can be made to prevent similar issues in the cattle industry.

I'm in Sherwood, Connecticut, discussing concerns about Gates and China buying up American farmland. My experience with factory farms in North Carolina highlights this issue. Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer, partnered with a state senator to pass laws that made it illegal to sue factory farms. They drastically reduced pork prices, driving out 28,000 independent farmers. Those who remained had to sign contracts with Smithfield, losing control over their operations. This model spread to Iowa, giving Smithfield control over 80% of U.S. hog production, which is now owned by China. This shift threatens the vision of American democracy rooted in independent family farms, as industrial agriculture compromises food quality and landscapes.

The speaker points out the Chinese government's funding of farmland near strategic US military bases, like Dougway proving ground and Whiteman Air Force Base. They express concern over allowing foreign ownership of land near military facilities.

Communist China is America's biggest threat. As the first governor to take action, I kicked a Chinese state-owned company off our farmland and received a $280,000 check for violating laws. My administration recommended two other CCP-linked companies for investigation. One of them operates crypto mines in the state. Loyalties matter more than where you're from. We can't trust those who pledge allegiance to a hostile foreign power.
