With the southern border crisis largely eliminated, Republicans and the Trump administration are setting their sights on China as the next major threat to U.S. domestic security.
Long considered a foreign adversary, China has been making inroads in nearly all sectors of American society, including real estate, universities, agriculture, and even the legal system. Reports released just over the past month show the spread of China’s influence.
One report showed that Chinese nationals made up the top percentage – 15% – of foreign buyers of U.S. homes from April 2024 to March 2025. That amounts to $13.7 billion worth of existing homes in the U.S. getting sold to Chinese nationals, some still residing abroad, as The Center Square reported.
Higher education institutions like the University of Michigan have had multiple Chinese foreign exchange students arrested for activities including spying on U.S. military bases, smuggling dangerous biological pathogens, and illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election.
An even greater source of concern for Republicans is the amount of U.S. farmland that Chinese entities – some of whom are connected to the Chinese Community Party – now own. According to a federal report released earlier this month, Chinese investors own at least 277,335 acres of agricultural land across 30 states, as The Center Square reported.
