Austin Scott hopes to be a member of the House Intelligence Committee. The panel will examine foreign efforts to get into the U.S. technology and food supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the things that I expect us to look into, and hopefully look into, is where our adversaries have embedded themselves in the supply chain of basic necessities for Americans,&#8221; Scott was interviewed on the John Solomon Reports podcast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I talk about food a lot, because it&#8217;s one of the things that we have to have to get through the day,&#8221; Scott explained. &#8220;What are our adversaries doing in buying up technology and embedding themselves into areas where you have constraints in seed supply or chemical supply, for example? There&#8217;s also potential control over transportation and infrastructure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Some U.S. governors took immediate action.\u00a0South Dakota passed a law four decades ago banning foreign ownership of most farmland in the state, but\u00a0Republican Gov. Kristi Noem stated to Just the News that she is trying to prevent Beijing from using long-term rental agreements as a way of circumventing the state ban.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m reexamining that,&#8221; She said:\u00a0&#8220;and looking to bring legislation that will not only address purchasing of land, but also make sure that those who hate us and other foreign entities can&#8217;t have long-term leases, that they can&#8217;t come in and lock up land for an agenda that isn&#8217;t good for these people that live here in South Dakota, but also our country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A second step that governors took to protect the U.S.from foreign influence malign is <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/government\/security\/sun-19-states-have-put-restrictions-or-banned-tiktok-due-national-security\">Banning<\/a>\u00a0TikTok is owned by China and cannot be used on government-issued phones due to security issues and privacy concerns.\u00a0Georgia, Tennessee, South Dakota and Georgia are some of the states that have taken such actions against ByteDance&#8217;s popular social media app.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;TikTok and WeChat data are a channel to the Chinese Communist Party, and their continued presence represents a threat to national security, the intelligence community, and the personal privacy of every single American,&#8221; Virginia Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin made the statement. &#8220;We are taking this step today to secure state government devices and wireless networks from the threat of infiltration and ensure that we safeguard the data and cybersecurity of state government.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Republican Rep.
