(MISSOURINET) – Chinese-owned companies would be banned from owning farmland in the United States under legislation filed in the U-S Senate. It’s sponsored by Missouri U-S Senator Josh Hawley:
If passed, China would have to divest in farmland it already owns in the U-S, and would be forbidden from buying more. Hawley says the U-S already relies too heavily on China in the manufacturing and medical sectors, and that we should not allow the same thing to happen to America’s food supply.
