Earlier this month, Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R-Neb.) raised concerns that China was expanding its control over America\u2019s food supply.<\/p>\n<p>The Nebraska lawmaker proposed an amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations Bill that would prohibit Chinese-backed companies from buying farmland. He noted that the U.S. government has not and cannot purchase Chinese farmland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan the America government go buy farm land in China? Can an American corporation buy farmland in china?\u201d he questioned. \u201c\u2026.I think the probability is about as close to zero as you can get. This issue is really one of fairness, but as the chairman has suggested, it\u2019s also national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As the pandemic showed, our nation had become dependent on medicines and personal protective equipment from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/China?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#China<\/a>.&nbsp;Here\u2019s another issue: China\u2019s ownership of farmland.
