Fifty-one House Republicans are expressing their concern to the Biden administration about a Chinese entity’s purchase of farmland near a U.S. Air Force base in North Dakota.

Such an acquisition is an “alarming development for our national security,” the lawmakers, led by Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.), wrote in a letter dated Sept. 26 to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, according to a copy obtained by The Epoch Times.
