Are Chinese Indoor Grows a CCP Military Operation?
A bipartisan coalition of U.S. lawmakers has raised alarms over the escalating issue of Chinese-affiliated illegal marijuana operations sprawling across the United States. Spearheaded by Representatives Pete Sessions (R-TX), Jared Golden (D-ME), and Senators Joni Ernst (R-IA), and Angus King (I-ME), this group has officially voiced their concerns to Attorney General Merrick Garland. The heart of the issue lies in the exploitation of American farmland by Chinese nationals, allegedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), to cultivate illicit marijuana. This operation is not just about unauthorized cannabis production; it encompasses a spectrum of criminal activities including human trafficking, drug trafficking, forced labor, and violent crimes.
