Chinese entities are buying up American farmland near our military bases, and that’s a clear danger to our national security. This isn’t just about real estate—it’s about China getting dangerously close to our most sensitive defenses. The Trump administration is finally taking bold action to protect our land and our safety.
In North Dakota, the Chinese Fufeng Group bought land right by an Air Force base. In Florida, they own nearly 10,000 acres near MacDill Air Force Base. They’re also in California near Camp Pendleton and in Texas beside Laughlin Air Force Base. This pattern is no accident—it’s a deliberate strategy to surround our troops.
Our military bases are the heart of America’s strength. Allowing hostile nations to plant themselves next door is like inviting spies to dinner. China could use these positions to sabotage operations or steal secrets. This isn’t fearmongering; it’s a real threat to every American’s safety.
Thankfully, the Trump administration is fighting back hard. The USDA just launched the National Farm Security Action Plan to block China from buying our farmland. Secretary Brooke Rollins called this a critical move to stop foreign enemies from turning our soil against us. It’s about time we defended what’s ours.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that China’s land grabs near our bases must end. He’s right—we can’t let foreign powers compromise our military readiness. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined this push because protecting America starts with protecting our borders and bases.
The plan forces foreign investors to report land deals through a new online system. Fines for hiding transactions will be tougher, and we’re urging states to ban adversarial ownership. We must shut down every loophole China exploits. Our food supply and national defense depend on it.
Congress is stepping up too. A bill by Rep. Stephanie Bice would cut funding to states that allow Chinese land buys near military sites. States must put America first—no exceptions. We can’t let local carelessness endanger the whole country.
This is a victory for American sovereignty. We’re taking back control of our land, our food, and our security. China thought they could bully us, but under strong leadership, we’re defending our nation the way patriots always do—with courage and common sense.
