I tried to go to a luau on the Big Island but instead it was just shore-to-shore rice plantations with Chinese soldiers overseeing white slaves on those big stilt walker thingies from Dishonored

Chinese soldiers overseeing white slaves

Remember the media hysteria about the sissypee buying all the farmland next to Travis AFB, only for it to turn out to be libertarian billionaires doing it, and instead of publishing retractions they just never published anything about it ever again?

Also lmao at the idea that China needs Chinese nationals to legally own farmland next to military bases to spy on them. Number one rule of espionage is to have your citizens be officially registered with the government as owning land next to military bases

[–] HarryLime@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We better nationalize all farmland, or else redistribute it to American farm workers in order to keep the Chinese from owning it.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

Ya know what, fuck it, no one gets to own land, that will show those commies!!

[–] porcupine@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 1 month ago

China actually came up with a pretty good solution to the problem of wealthy foreigners buying up your land.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait what does the red actually mean? And how does it apply tp the entirety of the Big Island of Hawaii?

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Guessing it's counties in which there as at least one farm that is "Chinese owned" however that was defined. Which is probably intentional, because if they only showed the farms instead of the whole counties it would probably be next to nothing.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

That makes sense, yeah

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

You can get a parcel map of just about anywhere and just query the owner field for Chinese corporations. They're just lazy

remember to brush up on Mandarin before visiting Houston or Dallas

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

There's actually a decent amount of Chinese international students in Dallas so at least you'd have some people you could unironically use it with

[–] blame@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

Slaps roof of the mountains and deserts of southern california you can fit so many Chinese Farms in this baby

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This map is not at all accurate. There is plenty of land in Minnesota and Wisconsin that are owned by Chinese farming corporations. It's not just by the military bases.

[–] sorter_plainview@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Aayyy.. Where is the sensationalism in that? You forgot the fundament priciple of click-baitology.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

What I am saying is that they had a golden opportunity to make it look even worse and for some reason missed it because even their own propaganda underestimates the scope of the problem, or more importantly, why it is actually happening (urbanization driven by a complete lack of funding and tax support for the public systems in rural communities).

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

can confirm that at least one of those locations has some pretty good farm land.

[–] ComRed2@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

See Xi pee, you say? Jokes on you, I'm into that shit.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the majority of Western Utah that is farmland.

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think they're highlighting the entire county where there is any chinese owned farmland.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

That's not a lot of farmland then.

[–] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Who keeps selling the land to them, huh?
