A Plan for Decisive Action Against the Threat of CCP Land Use in the U.S.

The CCP is the supreme authority in China, and one of its governing doctrines is civil–mil- itary fusion: the merging of civilian and military power as a comprehensive weapon to know, influence, exploit, and defeat an enemy.1 Therefore, all Chi- nese activities in the U. [...] Of addi- tional concern is that we do not know the full scope of the CCP land and infrastructure acquisition plan in the U. [...] land; by the end of 2020, the number had risen to 194,179 acres.6 All told, at the end of 2020, China held a total of 352,140 acres of U. [...] Therefore, to understand the scope of the threat, it is critical that we look at all aspects of Chinese activity, not just the size and nature of its acquisition of land, to ensure that legitimate national security concerns are addressed. [...] Require the Department of Homeland Security to define critical infrastructure in the land use space, coordinating with the Depart- ment of Defense, Department of Agriculture, Department of Justice, and other departments or agencies as appropriate.
