North Dakota Town Stands Up to China, Blocks Construction Near Air Force Base as Citizens Chant ‘USA!’

Between buying up valuable American farmland and flying surveillance crafts over the country without consequence, China’s footprint in the United States has become far too large for many Americans, and some have decided to take a stand.

After a long, drawn-out process that lasted over a year, Mayor Brandon Bochenski of Grand Forks, North Dakota, was finally able to obtain answers from the U.S. government regarding whether or not a Chinese-backed corn mill project, slated to be operational concerningly close to Grand Forks Air Force Base, was a national security risk and overall bad idea.

The government finally agreed that it did pose a national security risk, which gave the mayor the ammo he needed to put the kibosh on it.

This week, as the Grand Forks City Council voted to crush the Fufeng Group corn mill project, residents in attendance cheered. Some chanted, “USA! USA!”

Fox Business reported that the city council shut the project down in a unanimous 5-0 decision on Monday evening. The Chinese-owned group still legally owns the roughly 300 acres it purchased for the project but will not be able to proceed with its original plans.

Bochenski said his initial inquiries regarding the proposed corn mill and its proximity to the Air Force base were practically brushed off.

“We initially reached out to the FBI, then the [Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States] committee. They really came forth with a lackluster answer that left a lot of questions that needed to be answered,” Bochenski said, according to Fox News.
