China Phobia Hits Arkansas Farmland

Global Times reports that Arkansas “has become the first state in the U.S. to force a Chinese-owned company to give up its ownership of local land. The 160 acres of agricultural land has become the subject of hype by Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. This is another daily absurdity from American conservative politicians.” Sanders ordered the land be sold by its owner, Swiss-headquartered Syngenta, because the company is now Chinese-owned. “This is about where your loyalties lie,” Sanders said at a news conference, stressing the company’s “threat to our national security and to our farmers.” Chinese communist food will poison our children’s bodily fluids, it appears.
