Your precious politicians have sold off ALL KINDS of American companies and infrastructure in the past 2 decades.
Smithfield ham & swine products, Budweiser, etc .. but what's REALLY alarming is how many of OUR ports, bridges and toll roads - absolute GREED machines, have been sold to foreign entities. If you live in the northeast you KNOW how much $$$ they rake in during just ONE HOUR of traffic... it's sickening.
FYI:
Here's a more detailed list of American companies that have foreign ownership:
Burger King: In 2014, Burger King merged with the Canadian coffee and donut chain Tim Hortons, forming Restaurant Brands International.
Budweiser: Budweiser, an American-style pale lager, is a brand of the Belgian company AB InBev.

Ben & Jerry's: Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever, a Dutch/British multinational company.

Gerber: Gerber, a baby food company, is owned by Nestle, a Swiss company.
Forbes: Forbes magazine is owned by Hong Kong-based MediaCorp.
Purina: Purina, a pet food company, is owned by Nestle, a Swiss company.

The Royal Navy used to employ Hong Kong chinese laundrymen, tailors and cobblers on board their ships to wash and mend clothes but stopped that recently and now employs Nepalese Gurkhas to do these jobs.
WTF. Throw them the hell out.
Man! And buying all that land surrounding all our military bases is outrageous.
I am glad this Congressman is doing something about it!

These people. Are stupud.
It's time to put a stop to this IMMEDIATELY!!!
The stores were there and then China bought the company in 2020. I was buying GNC on our base back on 2010.
Makes you wonder how much of our ships/subs/jets/vehicles/munitions have made in China on the back.
The Royal Navy used to employ Hong Kong chinese laundrymen, tailors and cobblers on board their ships to wash and mend clothes but stopped that recently and now employs Nepalese Gurkhas to do these jobs.
They still have to obtain base passes.
Yes, but they can bring in a RFiD skimmer
True, but so can anyone working on the base.
