Ambassador to China Nick Burns revealed that the White House secretly established an Agricultural Working Group with the Chinese Communist Party to despite concerns over the national security risk posed by China’s foray into America’s farmland and food supply.
The stunning announcement follows efforts from Republican lawmakers to forbid Chinese Communist Party-linked companies and individuals from purchasing U.S. farmland, blocking their ability to influence the security of America’s food supply. President Joe Biden, however, appears to have taken a different and considerably more inviting approach to the Chinese Communist Party on agriculture matters, according to Ambassador Burns’s recent speech.
The group has not been previously reported.
Ambassador Burns – who worked for consulting firms representing the Chinese regime prior to joining the White House – made the remarks during a keynote address for the China United States Exchange Foundation’s (CUSEF) annual Hong Kong Forum on U.S.-China Relations. CUSEF is a Chinese state-sponsored propaganda effort that seeks to "influence foreign governments and other actors to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies,” according to the U.S. government.
CUSEF functions as part China’s "United Front,” which the federal government identifies as Beijing’s covert operation "to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party.” The U.S. State Department also compares the United Front to the Chinese regime’s "magic weapon” to advance its preferred policies by infiltrating American politics, media, and academia.
While the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign influence operations are vast, CUSEF is one of the most wide-reaching and nefarious components of the United Front.
Despite this, Ambassador Burns lauded the organization in his speech while celebrating President Biden making U.S.-China relations “more stable” and “better connected.” “We do not seek to decouple our two economies,” he added.
In the speech, Ambassador Burns also revealed the establishment of an Agricultural Working Group:
“We’ve also created eight new bilateral working groups to communicate on economic issues and work out our differences, including Treasury’s economic and financial working groups, the Department of Commerce’s commercial issues working group and information exchange on export controls, and the agricultural working groups between our two governments.”
“The purpose of these groups is to provide ongoing channels for our teams to drill into the substance of economic, trade, and financial policy issues. These are important developments to position our two governments to support a continuation of robust trade,” he added.
These remarks follow Ambassador Burns headlining an event sponsored by the U.S.-China Heartland Association (USCHA), a Chinese Communist Party-linked foreign influence group targeting American farmers and farmland, in December 2022.
Founded by former Democrat Governor of Missouri Bob Holden, the USHCA purports to be a "bipartisan organization committed to building stronger ties between the USHCA Region (20 states located in the USA between the Great Lakes to the Gulf) and the People’s Republic of China.” "Our focus will be on Trust Building efforts connecting government officials; business leaders; educational and community interests with like-minded institutions between the Heartland Region and the People’s Republic of China,” the group’s mission statement euphemizes.
The USHCA, however, appears to be used by several Chinese Communist Party-controlled organizations to gain access to American agricultural officials and company representatives. This includes sponsoring trips to China for Americans, often in exchange for "favorable coverage” and lucrative deals.
He used his speech to urge for more collaboration between China and the U.S. on agricultural endeavors, insisting "Agriculture is going to be priority for me as it is for our president as it is for Secretary [Tom] Vilsack.”
"Maintaining a constructive relationship on agriculture with the People’s Republic is going to be very important for the overall bilateral relationship,” he continued.
Ambassador Burns’s participation in the event follows the USHCA and other farming-focused Chinese Communist Party influence groups increasing their overtures towards American farmers amidst ongoing supply chain issues.
Why is this allowed to happen? Are American business men really that greedy to allow the CCP to buy up ALL of our farmland to feed the Chinese people while our folks starve?
This is a Global Bolsheviks plot to reduce FOOD Production using Climate Change as the fear tactic and must be challenged by Congress as a representative Government of a Sovereign Republic.
John Kerry is willing to Commit Treason against his Country because of a FEAR that is NOT Settled Science but merely an opinion that has the potential to exploit Government Control over Populations ability to abundantly Self Supplied !!!!!

In this Video of COP 28 , John Kerry double speaks about the Phasing OUT of Fossil Fuels will NOT cause Economic Hardships , start at 38:50 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZG53uhcYxs , but then Will NOT Answer a Reporter from Associated Press question on how the effects of these “Phase OUT” regulations will have on the negotiations by US Congress and Other Nations , start at 44:15 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZG53uhcYxs
These questions to John Kerry by Reporters were back to back , and shows that Kerry’s claim about this Phasing out of Fossil Fuels being a Science Based decision to save the Climate is not just science based But Political in Nature because of Kerry’s unwillingness to answer the Associated Press Reporters Question !!!!!!!!
Also in the First link reporters question about the effects of Phasing out Fossil Fuels on the Global Economy , John Kerry says Corporations like Google are great examples of why these regulations are needed , but here GOOGLE says AI will fix Global Overpopulation on Earth , https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3395958/AI-solve-world-s-hardest-problems-Google-chairman-Eric-Schmidt-says-robots-tackle-overpopulation-climate-change.html
So shouldn’t we the People have a Chance to ASK the question is Solving Earth’s Over-population FEARS really whats Driving these OVER-Regulations ?????????
In this video start at 9:15 John Kerry talks about the IRA Tax incentives driving Alternative Energy increases to the point of Demand on fossil Fuel Peaking in the next few years . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOxn2GEuVT4
So We the People should be able to question is the Regulatory platform that COP 28 and the Biden Administration seeks of a ” Total Phase-Out ” of Fossil Fuels as extreme to sustainable Food and Fiber Supplies as their claims of Climate Collapse in the next 6 years , because the Regulations they seek will cause major reductions in all Supply Chains Globally !!! https://www.lonesomelands.com/new-blog/2023/9/14/template-cm7p3
At 22:12 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOxn2GEuVT4 John Kerry says the IEA says if we just deploy more renewables between now and 2030 we can meet our goals .
I think they are going to extremes with their Regulatory Desires , based on their comments one minute saying we are not on track to meet the goals and then later when asked a different line of questions they say they ARE on Track to meet 2030 goals !!!!!!
So AGAIN We the People should be able to question is the Regulatory platform that COP 28 and the Biden Administration seeks of a ” Total Phase-Out ” of Fossil Fuels as extreme to sustainable Food and Fiber Supplies as their claims of Climate Collapse in the next 6 years , because the Regulations they seek will cause major reductions in all Supply Chains Globally !!! https://www.lonesomelands.com/new-blog/2023/9/14/template-cm7p3
F.J.B. AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY AND THE CCP LOVING DEMS
Biden is a controlled asset of the CCP. His actions are expected
We get 16 to 20 unsolicited calls per day from oriental sounding telemarketers asking if we’ll sell our small farm in the NC mountains. DAILY. They spoof local numbers so you will pick up the call.
We need a modern day Joe McCarthy and several hundred Constitutionalist Congress members to clean out these Communists from Shallow and Deep State offices!
