Zhong Shanshan, the chairman of Nongfu Spring, a Chinese beverage company, has recently acquired a property in Nashua, New Hampshire, near the Pennichuck water system. This purchase has sparked concerns among local officials and residents due to the potential implications for the town's water supply and national security. While the company claims it's only purchasing water for a new beverage plant, not the water company itself, some are wary of the opaque nature of the deal and Zhong's close ties to the Chinese government.
