Didn't the Chinese buyout Smithfield Farms pork producers?

---

Yep. The Obama admin allowed the sale. I think beforehand they were slated to purchase a few other American companies to keep from having to sell, but the government ruled it would put too much power into the hand of one company, citing concerns about the security of food supply chains....

So naturally we allowed them to be sold to the Chinese...Who then proceeded to use Smithfield buy up a bunch of other smaller, American Pork processors thus putting more pork supply under CCP control.

So instead of allowing them to make purchases that would have kept them American owned and operated, we allowed the Chinese to purchase them and basically control a majority of the pork in the nation.

Since then I've refused to by anything made by them or their brands which can be found listed here: Smithfield Brands

Getting harder to not give them my money because they keep buying up smaller companies and they package a lot of food for others.

I mean it's public record, so instead of telling everyone for political propaganda you could just look it up and then tell everyone what you found and what is being done.

At this point, A trump official telling me they are going to do something means about as much as Biden's off script dementia rambling.

You think Chinese Communist Party is going to appear on the deeds?

Yeah, it's ridiculous to expect the government to spend any part of the trillions of dollars they waste every year to do more than a single search on properties and owners.
