A Chinese firm’s purchase of land in Florida to build a breeding facility for lab monkeys is drawing scrutiny over the company founders’ ties to the Chinese military.
JOINN Laboratories CA Inc., the California subsidiary of a biotech firm headquartered in Beijing, in July purchased more than 1,400 acres of land for building a primate facility in Florida’s Levy County, county records show.
With a combined value of $5.5 million, the 10 parcels of land purchased from L & T Cattle & Timber represents one of the largest known Chinese acquisitions of U.S. land in recent years. While construction has not begun, the deal has attracted public attention at a time of

DeSantis need to nip this in the bud immediately.
The CCP breeding monkeys used for medical research (testing bioweapons?) in FL, what could go wrong?

Chinese planning to test bio weapons on animals within similar gene structure? We are being invaded by real estate deals. China building facilities next to Grand Forks Air Force base in North Dakota and now Florida? DeSantis needs to shut this down use imminent domain and stop the sale.

The Trojans should have just charged the horse admission to through the city gates! They would have, at least, money in their hands as they were destroyed!
Exactly what we are doing now with the Chinese!

I read that that Biden and his morons, er, minions want to investigate Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter because it it rumored that there may be "foreign interests" involved in his business.
Funny, because Joe is very familiar with foreign business interests. He is all in with China buying up all kinds of American businesses, and farm land placed, strategically, all across the country. These traitors are focused like a laser on killing us all if there is money in it for them.

Levy County consists of approximattely 1400 acres, 20% of which is water. It is not heavily populated. It is a Republican county. Where are the Floridian Ldotters who could tell us more about this area?

Breed the monkeys, infect with whatever disease, and "Oh, darn, some escaped, spreading this bioweapon that we were "testing"...."
So, solly, Yankees.

Nope!!! not allowed!!! seize any property the Chicoms buy, rent or lease and turn it over to the Border Patrol, this is such a violation of any of our sovereignty laws, it's beyond the limits of common sense and good judgment
who thought up this ploy by the Chicoms and who sold the land to them?
Jobiden is an enemy of the People!!

FTA:
Zhou Zhiwen and Feng Yuxia, the couple who founded and control JOINN Laboratories, both graduated from China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences, in 1989 and 1992 respectively. The school is the Chinese military’s top medical institute, which was added to a U.S. trade blacklist last year for supplying biotechnology to the Chinese military.
After graduating, both Zhou and Feng went on to work as researchers at the academy before establishing their business venture, according to Chinese media reports. Zuo Conglin, a board member of JOINN Laboratories, also graduated from the same academy.
These links with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should raise red flags, according to Rep. Scott Franklin (R-Fla.).
“The idea that we would permit a … biotech firm with ties to the Chinese military to breed lab monkeys on U.S. soil is baffling, especially after China unleashed the Covid-19 pandemic on the world,” he told The Epoch Times.

US Blacklists Dozens of Chinese Biotech Firms That Aid Military, Including for ‘Brain-Control Weaponry’
FTA:
The United States on Dec. 16 placed trade and investment restrictions on dozens of Chinese entities over their role in weaponizing biotechnology and other U.S. innovations in order to bolster the Chinese military and to further its human rights abuses.
Among the Chinese entities targeted was the Academy of Military Medical Sciences—China’s top medical research institute run by the Chinese military—alongside its 11 research institutes, for aiding the Chinese military with biotechnology, including “purported brain-control weaponry,” the department stated without elaborating on the technology.
In 2018, the Academy of Military Medical Sciences applied for a patent for technology for collecting and processing brain signals, according to an online patent repository.
