中国亿万富翁购买农村土地,引发德克萨斯州不满 I 彭博社

  • 德州牧场主对亿万富翁孙广信与中国国家的密切关系表示担忧。

  • 孙广信在餐饮业和娱乐业建立了一个庞大的帝国,向中国的国有企业出售石油钻探设备,并将倒闭的工厂变成房地产开发项目。

  • 批评者指称,孙正义的财富是基于他的国家关系。

  • 孙正义的公司在墨西哥边境的德克萨斯州瓦尔维德县积累了14万英亩的农田,价值1亿美元,并试图将其中一部分开发为风力发电场。

  • 德克萨斯州的立法者们发出了警报,因为它靠近该州的电网和一个美国空军基地。

  • 州政府官员通过了一项法律,保护州内基础设施不受外国实体的影响,现在正在考虑一项提案,完全禁止中国公司和个人拥有农村土地。

  • 限制与中国和其他外国势力有关的实体拥有农田的问题已经在至少18个州出现。

  • 美国农业部的数据显示,外国实体或个人控制着全国不到3%的农田,而与中国有联系的实体控制着不到1%的农田。

  • 盘旋在蒙大拿州上空的疑似间谍气球为一项限制外国所有权的法案注入了新的活力。

  • 德克萨斯州南部的牧场主最初试图以影响附近州立公园的生态旅游和区域野生动物为由对抗风力发电场,但关于国家安全的呼吁获得了更多的支持。

  • 由于孙正义与中国军队和中国共产党有很深的关系,他的投资活动令牧场主们感到担忧。

  • 限制外国人拥有农田的问题是美国和中国之间地缘政治紧张关系的另一种方式。

  • 对中国土地所有权的政治反弹在当地不断增强,至少有18个州在考虑采取措施限制外国对农田的所有权。

  • Texas ranchers are concerned about billionaire Sun Guangxin’s close ties with the Chinese state.

  • Sun has built a vast empire in the restaurant and entertainment industries, sold oil drilling equipment to China’s state firms, and turned failing factories into real estate developments.

  • Critics allege that Sun’s wealth is based on his state connections.

  • Sun’s firm amassed 140,000 acres of farmland worth $100 million in Val Verde County, Texas, along the Mexican border, and tried to develop part of it as a wind farm.

  • Texas lawmakers sounded alarms because of its proximity to the state’s electric grid and a US Air Force base.

  • State officials passed a law protecting state infrastructure from foreign entities and are now considering a proposal to ban Chinese companies and individuals from owning rural land entirely.

  • The issue of restricting ownership of farmland by entities linked to China and other foreign powers has popped up in at least 18 states.

  • US Agriculture Department data indicates that foreign entities or individuals control less than 3% of the nation’s farmland, and those with ties to China control less than 1%.

  • The suspected spy balloon hovering over Montana has breathed new life into a bill to restrict foreign ownership.

  • Ranch owners in southern Texas initially tried to fight the wind farm on the grounds of affecting ecotourism at nearby state parks and regional wildlife, but appeals over national security gained more traction.

  • Sun’s investment activity is concerning to ranch owners due to his deep ties to the Chinese army and the CCP.

  • The issue of restricting foreign ownership of farmland is another way in which geopolitical tensions are simmering between the US and China.

  • The political backlash against Chinese land ownership is growing on the ground, with at least 18 states considering measures to restrict foreign ownership of farmland.
