According to CNBC, The Fufeng Group, a Shandong, China-based manufacturer of taste enhancers and sugar substitutes, has acquired 300 acres of farmland close to Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Grand Forks Air Force Base, which contains some of the most sensitive military drone technology in the nation, is only a 20-minute drive from the site. For $2.6 million, three residents of North Dakota sold the property to a Chinese business.

One of the sellers, Gary Bridgeford, claimed that there was a visceral reaction to the local farmland being sold to a Chinese corporation. Bridgeford revealed to CNBC that several of his neighbours had posted placards in his front yard criticising the deal.

He declared, “I’ve been threatened. I’ve received every conceivable slur for selling real estate. The project controversy has sparked a heated debate in the small town, which has led to contentious city council meetings, political rivalry, and community opposition rallies.

Another local company owner claimed that the worries are legitimate. Craig Spicer, the owner of a trucking business next to the recently purchased Chinese property, told CNBC: “It makes me anxious for my grandchildren. It makes me anxious for my children.

Bridgeford, though, insists that there is no cause for alarm regarding the possibility that the Chinese government may utilise the area as a staging ground for espionage operations. He questioned, “How would they learn anything about the base.” It is roughly 12 kilometres away. It’s not close by.

People are concerned when they hear the China news, Bridgeford continued. However, everyone carries a Chinese-made phone in their pocket. What is the line you draw?

What Threat Does The Chinese Company Pose?

According to the city’s mayor, Brandon Bochenski, the planned $700 million plant will provide more than 200 direct jobs in addition to other chances for logistics, trucking, and other support services.

As the mayor of a tiny town, he acknowledges that there are national security considerations that are beyond his comprehension even yet he is adamant about pressing forward with the project. The Chinese initiative in North Dakota has not received a formal response from the US Air Force.

Democrats to Blinken: Work against steps that endanger two-state solution

Written on July 15, 2022. Posted in PT Middle East.

Assessment: The two state solution was established in 1922 when Britain took back 78% of the land mandated to Israel in the Balfour Declaration and established Jordan as a home for Arab people, a fact that is ignored by most of the world’s leaders that will lead to Biblical wars … HERE

A group of 80 Democrats on Friday urged the Biden administration to actively work against counterproductive measures that endanger a potential two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict, Haaretz reports.

The members of Congress — led by key Democratic caucus members Reps. David Price, Barbara Lee, Jennifer Wexton and Joaquin Castro — said in a letter to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken they were writing with “concern and urgency regarding ongoing developments that serve as flashpoints for escalating violence in the region and push a two-state solution further out of reach.”

“Dangerous flashpoints related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have a way of rapidly increasing tension and violence in the region without active U.S. leadership,” they wrote, saying the US “must harness its substantial influence to exercise leadership and continue its historical role as an honest broker in ending this conflict and serve as a clear, consistent voice for peace and human rights.

“It is therefore critical that the United States actively work to ensure both parties remain committed to halting counterproductive measures that undermine the viability of two states for two peoples,” they added.

The lawmakers highlighted five points of concern, requesting an update on concrete steps undertaken by the Biden administration aimed at deterring harmful actions. The first such point is the “rise in settler violence committed against Palestinians and Palestinian property, including instances of non-intervention or even aiding and abetting of such attacks by Israeli forces.”

They also raise the increase in Israeli approval of permits, tenders and housing starts for construction of homes in Judea and Samaria, as well as the retroactive legalization of outposts in the region. They also flagged the continued demolitions or threats of demolitions of Palestinian Arab homes, business and infrastructure, as well as the inequitable rates of approval of building permits for Palestinians.

They also raised concerns on the Palestinian Arab side, noting the Palestinian Authority’s ongoing prisoner payments program, “which the PA has acknowledged a willingness to reform, but on which it has not taken meaningful action.”

“It is clear that more must be done,” they stated.
