A corporation the U.S. Department of Agriculture classifies as Chinese-owned paid $21.2 million in cash for more than 1,500 acres of California farmland roughly 16 miles from the Navy’s principal West Coast fighter-jet base, according to federal and county records reviewed for this article.
The buyer, Long Feng International, Inc., acquired 1,513.18 acres in Kings County in November 2024, USDA’s foreign-landholding database shows. The department lists the investor’s country as “CHINA” and identifies Long Feng as a U.S.-created corporation whose primary interest is held by a Chinese owner.
Don't we have a law? There is no single federal law that completely stops foreign nationals or Chinese entities from buying private American agricultural land. Executive and congressional pushes: The Trump administration announced a National Farm Security Action Plan to restrict future purchases and evaluate existing holdings by foreign adversaries. Lawmakers have also introduced bipartisan bills like the Protecting U.S. Farmland and Sensitive Sites from Foreign Adversaries Act to close federal oversight gaps.
Good Night, Patriots!
