This makes my blood boil 🤬🤬🤬
Who owns 60 Minutes today?
What a crock of crap.
Good, less land for the Billionaires to purchase for Data Centers?
Journalist sell outs.
Incredible responses. We OWN over 800 military bases in FOREIGN lands.
I have an idea 💡 take it back
Now their buying paper mills that US companies are shutting down.
If we know all of this why are we selling anything like that to anyone that’s not a citizen of this country
Thanks China Joe.
the people who control u.s. control china.
Illinois still allows them to buy farmland and build and manufacture electric battery plants. Do not ever vote for Pritzker if he runs for POTUS!
Publish their locations, and we will go have a word.
Very informative program
Buying Blks way merica gonna do….
Trump they already in here what you going to do
China buying our food supplies we in trouble trump defend our borders
No other country needs to own anything in the US !
How is this a surprise? How many ways can the US f*** themselves
Can the white race give Congolese the privileges they gave Chinese?
We are so naive to think our enemies can buy our farmland, manufacture our medicines, produce our foods, make our clothing (that contains tracking), manufacture all of our technology and devices (that, again, contains tracking, and spyware), and they dont have any nefarious reasons at all. It is Ch* na's own Laws that say every Ch* neez company MUST swear total allegiance to the CC* or they will not be allowed to do business. Their govt allows only totally committed business people to go to other countries, such as the US, and do business in them, IF they have SWORN their allegiance to the CC*. They hold their families hostage, to make sure they comply.
Hey, 60 minutes here’s an idea for your next story a negative story about the democrat that signed with the CCP and protected China having that farmland you see how one story can lean into another improving your coverage
If China owns an operates asset within United States that are a huge threat to our republic then natural security has failed and maybe the president needs to tear that down and rebuild that cause obviously it’s ineffective if we are witnessing all these failures
Here’s another great idea when it comes to the threat of China why don’t we stop feeding the dragon?
Why is America investing in the CCP when they’re turning right around and using that to destroy us?
We know that government retirement plans are investing in China that should be illegal in the first place
Hey, maybe the food prices went up because the American farmers no longer own the land
Who in their right mind allowed Chinese to buy farmland right next to military basis who was the stupid leadership that allowed that to happen and why is it still allowed to happen when we all know it shouldn’t be happening and why are Democrats voting against that??
Oh, that’s right they’re socialist Democrats now that explains a lot
3 1/2% foreign owned farmland here in America and you wonder why your food prices are going up when they’re sending that food out of the country back to their home countries like China does with the pork
Chinese crypto mining operations not only are they a threat they’re also jacking the electrical bill for the rest of America
Maybe those Chinese crypto mine operations are actually just a cover for the Chinese ripping off America’s artificial intelligence information
Always try to run with the worst case scenario when it comes to the Chinese communist first, you gotta think evil in order to stay up with them and what they could possibly be trying to do. It isn’t just about crypto currency.
This should never have happened. This was a failure of political leadership in America. You failed to protect America’s assets the American citizens and you failed to protect the American way of life and the government.
And for a large part, this was the socialist Democrat parties actions
Who allowed the communist to get in control of the shipping ports the socialist Democrat party did
Oh
Every Chinese company is directly connected to the communist government because the government inserts party members in the companies there is no separation between the state and the corporations
Our leaders sold the US for a few pieces of silver.
O my my SMH
I rebuke that In Jesus Christ Name Amen
Didn't mention the Environment 🎉🎉🎉
Take it all back and refund their money. Who cares if they like it.
I’ve been saying it since the border crisis.
Thousands of Chinese crossed illegally, said when asked, they were going ”to camp”………..
Haven’t seen ONE deported during any filmed ice raids.
china really doesn't need to do anything, america is destroying itself. they're building trains while we rip apart our own communities. sure crypto farms drain energy are bad for the environment etc but this guy doesn't care if it's owned by a white guy named matt
Then why the hell do we allow foreign countries to buy land in the US!?! STOP IT
