How China is buying up America's food supply

A Sioux Falls meatpacking plant was forced to close when it became the epicenter of COVID-19 in South Dakota. Three weeks after executives from its Chinese owner, WH Group, visited the plant, a month after President Trump's ban on...

Word... If the ghosts of Holodomor are already fading from peoples' memories, another one will not be too far away around the corner.

What they dont understand is that "Possession is 9/10's of the law." So they bought into Smithfield, bug deal. its on American soil, American pigs, and Americans tending to it. If the Chinks get out of line we just tell them to fuck off, get out, and keep their shit. Fuck'em, let them eat cake.

That said, we do need to start more production at home and in Latin American countries closer to us and on more of the same political lever. And did I say, Fuck the Chinks?

While they do the same with our med supply,...

Read my edit. We need to get that production back home or at least to countries not vying with us for world power. Mexico and most of Central America would love the additional work.

that's already being moved back to the states. 13 US companies are already producing the HCQ tablet. This is just the beginning. Think about having no non elective surgeries the last 2 months. We needed very few meds while this was going on giving US companies a chance to start producing.

The evidence is showing they covered up the Kung Flu while they hoarded medical supplies in the beginning.

China’s coronavirus lies pile up - Washington Examiner

A Department of Homeland Security analysis has concluded that China hid the early spread of the coronavirus so it could hoard medical equipment, keeping it from other countries that would have bought it if they had known of the danger that was coming their way from Wuhan. Specifically, DHS...

But of course that begs the question, why? I thought this thing was more or less harmless, less harmful than the flu, I keep reading on this sight. What are they doing it with it there? Trying to make Trump look bad too?

Hence why we need to have more production brought back here. Won't solve all issues. However this virus should and I say that with care, wake people up to see how fragile we are a country having to rely on others for our most basic of needs.

Fuck the Chicoms and the horse they rode in on. I'm amazed that after being responsible for the deaths of 10's of thousands, and the destruction of the worlds economy, any country would give these bastards the time of day.

We should immediately demand (by law if necessary) that all American manufacturers return home. Or face a 1000% tariff on any goods manufactured in China and imported into our country. Then cancel whatever debt of ours they own in direct proportion to the damage they have caused with COVID-19. Yes, greedy corporations like Walmart will complain. Fuck them too for putting dollars over our lives. Yes, a TV will cost you more than $50. You'll get used to and it is for your own good. Even if you don't realize it at first.

We did a trip to New Zealand years ago and met some folks in the dairy industry. I asked why milk was so expensive. Short answer is the going rate in Asia pushed the overall price much higher.

We absolutely can NOT default on our debt.

Just do what China has done with all the debt they owe us and other western countries from some time back.....

It's under review and negotiation.... for some many decades...

 

[E. Bryant]

We absolutely can NOT default on our debt.

Agreed. It would be unconstitutional, and furthermore, it would be monetary suicide.

Impose fines and tariffs that can only be paid in US bonds. That could destroy their treasury.

Quote from the above link:

Here is why you should care.


For decades, China has been fighting a stealth war against us with the objective of replacing America as the dominant world power. "The removal of the United States as what they call the hegemon is the most important thing" to them, according to China expert Michael Pillsbury. The Chinese would prefer to win a 21st-century war involving acquisitions of strategic industries like food and communications over a traditional military conflict.

In an article in the Atlantic, H.R. McMaster, President Trump's former national security adviser, notes that Chinese president Xi Jinping told Trump in 2017 that the CCP is relentlessly pursuing the "great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" — the "China dream." McMaster relates a conversation with Li Keqiang, who indicates that the U.S. role in the future global economy will be "to provide China with raw materials, agricultural products, and energy to fuel its production of the world's cutting-edge industrial and consumer products."


According to McMaster, China's leaders believe they have a narrow window of opportunity to revise the international order in their favor before other countries realize that the party is pursuing national rejuvenation at their expense.

Our response to the coronavirus pandemic has been severely impacted by Chinese control over the manufacturing of strategic pharmaceuticals and essential personal protective equipment — masks, surgical gowns, and gloves. This should be the shot across our bow. The Smithfield story is another reminder that Beijing's economic grab is strategic and goes far beyond drugs and medical supplies. Chinese ownership of our essential food producers generates a similar vulnerability to our national security.


It's time to counter the "China dream" with an American wakeup call. The alarm is ringing.
