As China-Owned Meat Plants Close, Iowa Sends National Guard to Safeguard Supply Chain
Christine Favocci, The Western Journal
3-4 minutes

The men and women of the U.S. military pledge to defend the country against threats foreign and domestic.

This time, the threat comes in the form of a tiny but sometimes deadly enemy — COVID-19.

As the virus continues to infect workers across the nation, the American meat supply hangs in the balance as many meat processing plants have closed nationwide.

To assist with this looming crisis, Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds called for 250 members of the National Guard to help keep her state’s meat processing facilities operational by assisting with contact tracing and testing to stop the virus in its tracks, according to Bloomberg News.

Guard soldiers were moved to federal full-time active duty to deal with fallout from the coronavirus. Keeping meat processing plants going in Iowa is important: About a third of the U.S. pork supply comes from the state, and the National Beef Packing Co. and Tyson have closed plants there.

Sobering. Some of the closures are otherwise owned, but I had no idea the Chinese were into our food supply chain as well.

One eventual benefit from all this is the exposure of the weak points in our supply chain, foreign and domestic.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sobering.  Never thought nationalization of critical industries was an option.  ....  Well still not.  Maybe force sales of these to domestic companies instead.

I would think a targeted embargo on investment by the Chinese in key areas would be enough.

Yep, but it would entail a constant hunt for shell companies and quiet buyouts.

The unspoken concern behind this is, can China order these meat packing plants to close as a means of crippling the US?  I suppose they could, but that would cause a severe backlash.

I'm sure there'll be some system in place to do this, there will have to be.

After the first two or three shell company CEOs get strung up the rest will get the message.
