China has long depended on the U.S. breadbasket, importing up to $26 billion in U.S. agricultural products yearly. But increasingly, Chinese investors aren’t just buying from farms abroad. They’re buying the farms.

"While China still ranks far behind the United States in foreign agricultural investments, its interest in farms abroad has prompted concerns about putting too much of America’s food supply in foreign hands."
Exporting goods is great for the US economy. We make money off of the goods that other countries are not able to get locally. What I don't understand is why would we literally sell our ability to export and better our economy? Sure, the Chinese owners of the farms that are on american soil will have to pay taxes on their land; in my eyes this is the only profit that america is able to make off of the farm.This is crazy to me and doesn't make sense. China already imports so many things to the US that we pay them for. NOW we are giving them our food and money.After the initial buy of the land.... its as good as dead to america. What next? Do we pay China for the goods they produced on our land. This is a great example of both good and bad globalization. This benefits China immensely they get to use other land they don't have access too.The US looses land,food and money. |
