China’s spending spree to acquire land and invest in agricultural areas around the world isn’t exactly being welcomed by locals, if a recent protest by some farmers in France is any indication.
Holding banners and flags, about a hundred members of a French agricultural union gathered in protest at a Chinese-owned farm in Murs, in central France, on Aug. 29, according to French newspaper Le Figaro. The farmers, who came from all over the country, gathered to voice their displeasure with the Chinese investors.
