FBI Director Patel leads charge to root out Chinese influence on US soil

FBI Director Patel leads charge to root out Chinese influence on US soil

FBI Director Kash Patel is tackling China’s influence on American farmlands head-on, as both a food supply and national security concern. 

Patel’s early focus on Chinese influence over American land — particularly farmland near sensitive sites — reflects a broader second-term push by the Trump administration to confront the Chinese Communist Party’s presence on U.S. soil. The effort has gained traction among Republican lawmakers and conservative allies, who say CCP-connected land ownership poses a direct threat to national security and critical infrastructure.

‘FBI Director Kash Patel has made eradicating CCP interference and infiltration in the United States a relentless, uncompromising priority,’ Patel advisor Erica Knight told Fox News Digital. 

‘With his unmatched experience in counterterrorism and intelligence, Patel possesses a profound understanding of the grave threats our nation faces,’ Knight said. ‘His expertise and unwavering resolve make him uniquely equipped to lead the bureau to crush CCP infiltration and safeguard America’s national security.’

 

Patel recently told lawmakers that the ‘effective resolution’ of the southern border crisis has prompted adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran to shift their focus to the U.S. northern border.

As the administration ramps up its second-term focus on China, President Donald Trump was asked aboard Air Force One on Thursday what the White House is doing about Chinese-owned farmland.

Trump said he is ‘looking at it all the time,’ adding that he has ‘a very good relationship with China and with the president.’

‘I have a lot of respect for President Xi,’ Trump said. 

Trump emphasized that Chinese-owned farmland ‘has been an issue for years.’

In a February Fox News op-ed, Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Ric Grenell echoed growing concern on the right over Chinese-owned farmland, calling it part of a ‘not-so-silent takeover.’

‘While conservative legislators and governors across the country are taking action to stop adversarial nations from buying U.S. farmland, we must recognize that there’s a much broader issue at play here — China’s end goal is not confined to land ownership,’ Grenell wrote. 

Capitol Hill lawmakers have already begun taking action. In early March, Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., introduced the PASS Act in the Senate, which would bar entities from ‘covered countries’ — including China — from purchasing agricultural land near military bases or other sensitive sites.

The legislation, which also has Democratic support, would allow the Department of Agriculture to submit cases to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. for review if the department suspects there is a national security concern. 

Likewise, Republican senators in January also announced the Not One More Inch or Acre Act, led by Sens. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota and Katie Britt of Alabama. 

The legislation would require selling land owned or ‘influenced’ by the Chinese Communist Party that is deemed to be a national security risk.

Fox News Digital’s Morgan Phillips and Michael Lee contributed to this report.
