Chen Tianqiao owns 198,000 acres (80,127 hectares) of Oregon timberland, making him the country’s 82nd-largest property owner, according to the Land Report’s latest ranking.
Chen, 50, acquired the acreage from Fidelity National Financial Ventures for $85 million in 2015. …
His Oregon property makes him one of the biggest individual owners of American land by a non-US citizen. Only the Irving family of Canada — No. 6 on the Land Report’s list with over 1.2 million acres of Maine timberland — owns more. …
Some lawmakers have pushed for national rules restricting foreign investment in American agricultural property. … Almost half of all states have some sort of restrictions on foreign ownership. …
Ultra-wealthy investors seeking an inflation hedge and uncorrelated assets have increasingly flocked to farmland and other rural properties in recent years. The average value of US cropland jumped 8.1% last year and has risen by more than a third since 2020, according to the USDA.
The gains are driven by food demand and high inflation but also by interest in rarefied properties, like classic western ranches, that offer recreation as well as investment return potential. …
How do you feel about Chinese billionaires and companies owning U.S. land? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

Big mistake! Greed of our officials!
The earth and all it’s fullness are His. (Palm 24:1) Lord God, whatever plans our enemies on earth and in the spiritual realm have for the “purchasing” of our countries land I ask God that you reverse them. That what is intended for evil would be turned for good. Set our resources free for US citizen use and benefit. We thank you God that you provided what mankind needs on this earth. Set the captives, earth and people, free and set them out into your wonderful plans and good purposes. Also please make that plans of other countries who want to make these kind of purchases of US resources be turned down by US investors and sellers. That their money and offers for US resources would be worthless and no longer wanted. Thank you! In Jesus name, Amen.
Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ, You have founded this USA for Your Purposes, for the Gospel to be spread, for the salvation of souls and for the protection of Your people – only for Your Glory.
The enemy of our souls is usurping this land for his evil purposes. He chooses to steal, kill and destroy. We ask that You cause an overturn by having a law passed in the states and in the federal government that NO ONE who is not a second generation legally born citizen of the USA can own land here in the USA.
Those who do not meet that requirement are not grandfathered in. Instead either their land is taken from them or they must sell their land at a public auction, to avoid private back-deals.
Lord Jesus, please Reclaim Your land for Your purposes. We need all the land that You have given us to accomplish all that You desire! We do not relinquish control to the enemy.
In Jesus’ Name and by the Blood of Jesus.
For the last 25 years or so I have opposed foreign -either corporate or individual-ownership of land in any territory belonging to the United States of America. I learned that Mexico did not allow foreigners to purchase land in Mexico-they could lease it for 99 years, but could not purchases it. I do not know if that has changed, but I saw it as a great policy and thought the US should have a similar policy. What keeps, say China, from buying up the US?
I am appalled that non-citizens can own land in the USA. Our land is for us to make us more abundand and not someone in another country. This should not be allowed. Non-citizen land should be confiscated and sold to Americans that will use it for American’s good.
It should not be allowed! Lord help us🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
WE NEED STRONG LEADERS AND CITIZENS TO SAY AN UNEQUIVOCAL “NO!” TO ANY PERSON OR COUNTRY WANTING TO PURCHASE USA LAND!!! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR AMERICA TO WAKE UP?!
I have heard some concrete rumblings that there are certain groups in the USA who are intent on making Chinese or foreign land holders “land” unfit & unusable if the said landholder(s) try to use it for illegitimate purposes. What that means is hard to predict….but it sure sounds like serious “problems” for any foreign landowners who are up to no good.
NO, NO, NO! No one should be able to buy American property unless they are a citizen of the United States!! China, in particular, does not need our land.
How can a nation be secure, when its leaders allow its sworn enemies to hold tracts of its land?
Demand for rural land in our area is increasing. The reasons are unclear.
I pray Lord God for your protection against international Communist leadership threats like China. We are a weaker nation now under Biden and only YOU can provide support and wisdom for a messed up country!!

I don’t believe any foreign company or individual should own any land or business or etc in the United States. It is ridiculous what is happening in the US due to the greed of so many in our government. They have ignored God’s way and chosen to follow the evil one so sad. May God show us true followers of God’s way so we can elect them and remove the evil ones. Thank you God your plan is perfect
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Thank you for communities that have rejected bids by China to buy their land. Protect our land, Father, and return it to us.
This needs to be stopped, and that’s why I wrote this song:

I am against foreign investors buying up our land, especially productive land that holds resources that could be used for the benefit of American citizens. It’s not a prejudicial reason, but just that as many countries around the world prevent non-nationals from buying land, I think it is wise to protect what is ours from any chance of foreign incursion or creating threatening locations here.
Lord Jesus, I plead with you that no foreigners who are non-US citizens with evil agendas will ever purchase land here in the USA because it appears that there is a hidden agenda that China has that could be disastrously evil against our nation and our freedom. Please cause us as freedom loving American Believers to earnestly pray and continually be on guard against the schemes of the enemy that wants to little by little take over America and turn it into an atheistic or God-hating nation.
Lord, please protect our land from Chinese investors. Please change it Lord. Restore our country to American values. Lord, help us!
It’s not a good thing. It needs to stop. Thank you IFA for bringing clarity & awareness to this issue.
I think it should stop and only citizens in the Usa who are vested in our country’s true heritage who honor God should have first and only claim.
Sincerely, Diana
Our land is our most precious commodity. Only US citizens should be considered to make purchases.
Dear Heavenly Father, protect our country, the USA, from those who mean it harm. Our country was founded on You! It belongs to You! You own the cattle on a thousand hills! Give our leaders wisdom and courage to say NO to these investors who are not American citizens, in Jesus’ name Amen!
This land is Your land, this land is my land! From California, to the New York Islands, from the Redwood forests to the Gulf Stream waters, this land was made for You and me!!!! Yes and Amen!!!😁
We pray for all the land to be placed back in the hands of US citizens, speedily. Amen
We pray for wisdom for the leaders of our Nation. We’re being deceived by the devil and the one that’s going to suffer is us because we’re selling ourselves to foreign country’s and soon will be theirs slave. Lord have mercy on us…blessings
I know it is so sodangerious. But my God is in control of my life and I will not fear though the earth be removed and the mountain be carried into the midst of the sea Psalm 46;2 I hope everyone will pray and do eerything they can to save America and not alow ourselves to be discourage
Father, I ask that You grant aid to our lawmakers in the matter of land ownership in the U.S. Please show our lawmakers that U.S. land, buildings, and property can be owned only the U.S. citizens. We need to live by Biblical principles. Just as You gave the land to Israel and that it remains with Israel, let it be so for the United States. Amen.
My belief is that IF you are a citizen of the United States of America…you shall be afforded ALL of the God given rights of America…Until you become a citizen…you have no rights to American property, healthcare ,voting or education..
Correct, We must pray, lawmakers will up hold laws and True America citizens can have land. We must turn back to God Almighty, or be slaves to even harder task masters.
Amen
C’est dangereux, très dangereux.c’est l’ETERNEL qui a établi les bornes des demeures de nations,afin que chacun puisse ‘e chercher d’où qu’on se trouve.si ce chinois a pris ce grand nombre de terres,qu’un autre étranger aussi,ainsi de suite,que restera t il des descendants américains? Que les terres agricoles soient louées,et ‘on vendues.car la terre est à j’ai d’autres idées encore…
