American Republican Congressman Randy Feenstra wrote today (Beijing time July 1): "Iowa farmland belongs to Iowa farmers. This is why I led the effort to ban Chinese purchases of our farmland. We must ensure that Iowa's farmland is passed on to the next generation of Iowa farmers and producers - not to China or any of our foreign adversaries."
[Clever] Comment: Some American politicians are extremely sensitive, now almost turning pale at the mention of China. The amount of U.S. farmland held by Chinese investors accounts for less than 1% of the total foreign-held farmland, while Canada and the Netherlands, which hold the largest shares, account for 29% and 14%, respectively. This absurd double standard is really laughable. Are Iowa's farmlands made of glass, so that even a little "Chinese touch" would make them break? These baseless accusations are likely due to being bitten too many times by the "political prejudice" mosquito, resulting in brain damage. They shout about "free economy" while building trade barriers, which is a complete contradiction.
