Californians, Chinese Scooping Up Farmland in Washington State

Chinese buyers move in

Some buyers are farm owner-operators, while others are looking to operate some land and rent out a portion of it to others, according to experts.

 

Other buyers in Washington are from China. Those individuals are said to be looking primarily at investment property that they can lease out. Some, however, are looking to move their families to the United States. Chinese buyers are also showing interest in farmland in South America, Australia and New Zealand.

 

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources reports seeing more interest from out-of-state entities looking to lease state-owned ag lands. The state offers irrigated leases that have typically been used for growing corn, wheat, barley, alfalfa, hay, potatoes, beans and other crops.

 

Washington leases or permits the use of about 1.1 million acres of land to farmers and ranchers for agricultural and grazing production, according to Sandra Kaiser, a spokesperson for the state Department of Natural Resources. The state is seeing "some interest from California with producers who lease from us, but not from folks who want to farm themselves."

 

One property recently for lease in Washington was a vineyard that attracted interest from a Chinese investor, according to a person familiar with the property. Besides irrigated land, the investors from China are looking for range ground and timber properties.

CHINA TO BUY CALIFORNIA?

October 12, 2010

 

SACRAMENTO – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger met with Chinese leaders today. They want to buy California.

 

California is going bankrupt and according to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger there is no turning back. “We tried everything. We have no money. We must come up with creative solutions to save the state,” the Governor told reporters.

 

California is a complete and total economic disaster area. The state government of California is projected to have a budget deficit of at least 19 billion dollars this year, and next year the budget gap is projected to grow to 37 billion dollars. To put that in perspective, the entire budget for the government of California is only about $125 billion per year. Already, California’s credit rating is the lowest of all 50 states, and going lower.

 

“It’s over,” said State Senator Warren Pool of San Jose.

 

How is California going to get the cash it needs to survive?

 

China.

 

 

At the invitation of Governor Schwarzenegger, Chinese leaders flew to Sacramento to work out a deal to purchase California. “The deal is that we will still be part of the United States, but China will take over the state government. They will make all the economic and political decisions within the state, but they will yield to the federal government on national issues.”

 

“It’s a states rights issue,” said constitutional scholar, Chris Rigaux of Stanford Law School. “California has the right to manage its own finances without the U.S. government getting in the way. The state is bankrupt and if China wants to own a piece – or all – of California and lawmakers want to sell the state to them, that’s constitutionally allowed.”

 

Several California lawmakers strongly disagreed with the decision. “This is an outrage!”, said Linda Sunstein, a Republican state senator from San Diego. “California will be under the control of the Chinese. We will be a communist state!”

 

“Look, China already owns a good chunk of the United States, they practically own the whole country,” Governor Schwarzenegger told reporters. “The Chinese seem to know how to run things, get a government in the black.”

 

Governor Schwarzenegger hopes to complete the deal before the November elections. Republican Meg Whitman is in a battle with Democratic stalwart Jerry Brown. “If we close the deal, like I hope we do, we won’t need to have those elections. The Chinese will just appoint a leader to head the Ministry of California.”

 

Rumors that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is receiving a $10 billion cash payment from the Chinese, in exchange for his “brokering” of the deal are completely false. But they may be true.

 

China already plans on changing the California state emblem from the Bear to the Panda.

Chinese buy strategic land in Texas, U.S. intel may not be pleased

A retired CIA officer outlines the threat.

Given its hold on many American Democrat politicians (Joe Biden among them) and its aggressive global stance, it is not surprising that during testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in July 2019, FBI Director Christopher Wray emphasized: “there is no country that poses a more severe counterintelligence threat right now than China.” Now in 2020, China has purchased over 100,000 acres in West Texas for what they say is an economic project. U.S. intelligence is casting a suspicious eye at their claim.

 

Retired CIA station chief Daniel Hoffman told the media, “The specific location in Xi’s crosshairs is the iconic frontier landscape, framed by the pristine Devils River and legendary Pecos River, in the West Texas borderlands of Val Verde County. Beginning in 2015, GH America Investment Group purchased over 130,000 acres of property in Val Verde County. GH America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Xinjiang-based Guanghui Industry Investment Group. Xinjiang is notorious for its so-called ‘re-education’ camps, where China detains Uighur Muslims and other ethnic minorities against their will and violates their human rights.”

Chinese investments in the United States

 

The American Enterprise Institute and the Heritage Foundation’s China Global Investment Tracker follows large Chinese investments, excluding bonds, around the world.

 

The leading recipient of these kinds of investments is the United States, which received over $180 billion from January 2005 through December 2019. Chinese investment in 2019, though, barely exceeded $3 billion. The 2017 spending level of $23 billion will be difficult to regain because US has passed legislation limiting China’s access.

 

The deals described in the tracker are worth $95 million or more. They are voluntary transactions that let Americans make their own choices. Chinese purchases benefit Americans who hold desirable assets—city property and large corporations but also individual family homes (not in the tracker). China’s investment helps support a small number of American jobs.

 

Against that, the People’s Republic is not a friend. All Chinese enterprises must ultimately answer to the Communist Party. The US certainly should not ban China’s investment but, as Congress has directed, Chinese firms and individuals should not be permitted to buy advanced technology or gain access to Americans’ personal data. Chinese firms that receive stolen intellectual property or otherwise break American law should be barred. Within these guidelines, China’s investment in the US can be positive for both countries.
