Why Does JD Vance Want to Take Back All Chinese-Owned Land in the U.S.?

Probably because he knows that his base is so ignorant on this topic that they don’t know that China and its corporate interests own a negligible amount of our land.

There are 880 million acres of farmland in the U.S., 39 million (4.4%) of which are foreign owned (see pie chart below).  Of that, China owns 0.9%, or 0.004% of the whole.

Another thing to be said about Vance’s audience is that they are unlikely to ask themselves: How could the U.S. “take back” land that is legally owned by another party?
