BLUE STAR DONATIONS: CHINESE REJECTED OF OWING LAND IN ARKANSAS

News reports suggest that a group of Chinese investors have been denied permission to buy land in Arkansas due to national security concerns. The proposed purchase was for a 200,000-acre plantation that would have been used to grow hardwoods. However, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has reportedly blocked the deal, citing concerns over the transfer of sensitive technology and potential espionage activities.
