Now China is trying to genetically modify American soybeans in latest infiltration plot
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The top Republican lawmaker is sounding the alarm after a Chinese agricultural firm was approved to create 'genetically engineered soybeans' for consumption in the U.S.

The suspiciously rapid approval by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) of Chinese biotech firm Qi Biodesign should raise major alarm bells, says Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Chairman John Moolenaar, R-Mich.

That company, which specializes in gene editing, is partially funded by the Chinese government, he claims in a letter to President Biden's USDA Sec. Tom Vilsack exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.

And the company specifically poses a threat to U.S. farming companies' secrets, he says.

His concern comes at a time of heightened anxiety about China's meddling in U.S. agricultural efforts - as the country owns over 347,000 acres of farmland near sensitive military bases.
