Yes, we are already under attack.


I hope Trump shuts China out and down to protect us.

Have you any idea how much of our food supply China has bought up? I didn't think so.

I suggest you spend some time on it. We are under attack, and you dont even know it.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/11/10-i...investors.html

https://www.processingmagazine.com/n...-food-industry

https://www.npr.org/2019/05/27/72350...-foreign-owned (146,000 acres!)

How many links do you need to listen to me? Rome fell in 1 day.
Rome fell because it didn't do anything for itself anymore - that, and they lined the aquaducts with lead, but that's another story.

I mean you are right. We don't do much for ourselves anymore either. When our military is all Chinese, we will be in big trouble.

One thing I have noticed about this crisis (Coronavirus), is it has made it blaringly clear that we need to get back to manufacturing things for ourselves, so we wont have the same complete shortages/outages of things again.

I think its going to happen too.

Pork may be lost to us forever, but! If we all ate non-GMO organic foods grown right here by our own farmers, we probably have nothing to worry about.

I would cut all with China, and we Americans have to suffer through it until we regain our footings. We have done it to ourselves. Time to break the addiction to and dependency on China.


America has turned soft and allowed itself to become dependent on evil people and countries. The way to stop that is to stop that.

They aint going nowhere. They'll close down temporarily due to C-19, and you'll notice 1/4th of the meat aisle clear out. Then, your smug reply will look really dumb, and you'll realize I was right.

China is taking control of our domestic food production. Please spend 15 minutes researching it.

China withheld covid-19 meds & supplies to us, and wouldnt even allow 3M's operation in China to ship masks to us.

Now, China is right here in our homeland buying up our land, farms, food company's, and your response is a smug attempt at humor. You are so ill-informed its sickens me.

Aside from this topic, I've admired your comments here on C-D, FatBob...repped you many times. It's now your time to wake up to what I'm trying my best to tell you.

If you think our gov't or media's going to sound the alarms, you are sadly mistaken. They are making bank on it.

Mathguy, you are really good with #'s. What % of our food supply does China own right now, and please construct a trend chart to show the growth over the past 10 years.

You can use fertile land acres, % of retail sales, total investment, ect..

The following is only my opinion:

This is nothing compared to the global lawsuit of 100% culpability by covering up the
dangers of Corona virus that made its way into the World Economy resulting in losses
in lives as well as losses in the trillions of dollars.
China is in deep trouble...............

I was beginning to think I was all alone. Thanks to your post, I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Is writing letters to our politicians even worth the effort? I'm thinking not. We need a lot more than that to get their attention. I have a peaceful plan, but I can't communicate it on social media.

Agreed. We must do it incrementally & strategically. I'm liklely wasting my breath, WW3 is what's next.

They have extensive underground shelters with millions of iodine kits...us? Nope.

Nowhere to run...nowhere to hide!

The walls are closing in from every angle.

The walls are closing in from every angle. We are being check-mated by a former 3rd World Country.

There's a big Brazilian conglomerate that controls a good portion of our meat production in this country. China isn't the only one!
