Chinese ownership of American farmland came under increased scrutiny at both the national and local level after the Fufeng Group, producer of the flavor enhancer MSG, announced in November 2021 its intentions to invest near Grand Forks, North Dakota.

Thank you. It was hard to find a spin on the few articles I read, but it was plain to see that every article was about China. I didn’t know what to make of it. I guess if they are not getting enough funding they probably were not taking a side then. Too bad.
