Ted Cruz: China Is Buying Farmland Near U.S. Bases To Set Up Drones For Surveillance

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the Chinese are buying up farmland near U.S. Military bases so that they can have launch areas for drones to spy on the bases.

Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson.

“There were multiple Chinese spy balloons, and the Biden administration didn’t bother to tell anyone about them,” Cruz said. “Until finally some ranchers in Montana spotted this one and they got outed on the internet. Were it not for that, we wouldn’t even know about this one. They kept it secret that the Chinese had been sending spy balloons over U.S. airspace, over U.S. military bases. They’re engaged in active espionage against us.”

“The Chinese are buying up land and they’re claiming they’re buying it up for farming or ranching, but it allows them to set up reconnaissance sites that allows them to install tracking technology, to use radar, to use infrared scanning, and to view the bases, and from there, to attempt to fly drones over the bases and engage in surveillance,” he later added. “And I gotta say, it is insane that we are allowing the Chinese to do this, this should be illegal, we should not allow the Chinese Communists to buy land anywhere near our bases.”

He said that Democrats have resisted countering China’s buying up of land around U.S. Military bases because “today’s Democrat Party is structurally pro-China.”

Cruz said that the party’s major stakeholders — big business, big tech, big Hollywood, big universities — are all in bed with China.
