Fufeng USA, a subsidiary of eastern China-based Fufeng Group, plans to set up a US$700 million corn wet-milling agribusiness park in Grand Forks City, North Dakota. While the city council approved the deal, residents have raised security concerns over its “China connection” since March 2022.

Americans have time and time again polled and researched to find that the people of China overwhelmingly support their government due their experience that the government does mostly listen to the needs of the people. Chinese are sometimes very critical of actions of the government, but never its legitimacy (this is an area the government does not allow discussion). I go to America and see so many unhappy and angry people who not only generally dislike their government, but also can not get along with each other very well. I go to China and see positive people who feel they are a part of a country that is striving for a better future. People in China do not have feelings of anger and hatred to their fellow citizens, even those of a different ethnicity (and there are many different ethnicities in China). No country is perfect, but American needs to look at itself and not only the world for the root of their extreme problems. Fear however, is a traditional way to control people and their minds. I see fear, true fear, in the people in this video. I couldn’t laugh at them. I feared for them and for myself.
