(CNSNews.com) - China aims to achieve world domination, two conservative Republican governors told Fox News's Sean Hannity Thursday night.
They said President Joe Biden should "wise up" and do what he can to stop the Chinese Communist Party from infiltrating our country even more than they already have.
"Joe Biden doesn't understand what the Chinese are up to," Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said. "The Chinese have one goal. That's world domination at the expense of the United States."
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was even more blunt:
"I've been in food security policy for many, many years, over 20 years. I've seen China buy up our fertilizer companies, our chemical companies, they've bought up our processing systems, now they're buying our land. And they're doing it to destroy us.
"And it's time we get a president that wises up, loves this country, defends us, and stops acting like a dimwit in front of the whole world," Noem said.
Both Youngkin and Noem have acted to bar their states from doing business with CCP-affiliated companies; and they are trying to ban CCP-affiliated interests from buying American farmland.
Noem signed an executive order in November barring TikTok on state devices. And last month, she signed another order blocking state business with "evil foreign governments," which are listed as China, Iran, North Korean, Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela.
"So we've been aggressive on fighting this threat that Biden will not address," Noem told Hannity. And she's not done yet:
"I've got a bill I'm working with a couple of legislators in South Dakota to ban China from being able to buy up our farmland. Agriculture is the number one industry in our state, but we also are the home of Ellsworth Air Force Base.
"Ellsworth will be the home of the B21s, the next-generation bombers that will protect the United States of America for many years to come. And China would love to set up shop next door and conduct surveillance on that platform. And we won't allow it.
"We'll make sure that our land stays under the United States control and that we won't allow enemies that hate us to come in and purchase our assets."
‘Strong and swift, not weak and slow’
Gov. Youngkin said he knows from his previous business experience what the Chinese Communists "are up to."
"We have to react strong and swiftly. And he (Biden) reacts weak and slowly. And all it does is opens up a sense that they (Chinese) can push us even further.
“They're going to use every ounce of capability they have -- surveillance through balloons and TikTok; economic coercion by trying to infiltrate with relationships and joint ventures that push them into our economy to enrich their communist party-controlled companies.
"And they're going to try to intimidate us with their military presence. This is a moment to be strong and swift, not weak and slow," Youngkin repeated.
Like Noem, Youngkin has banned Chinese-affiliated companies from setting up shop in Virginia, and he's trying to bar Chinese purchases of farmland in the commonwealth:
"This cannot be allowed to happen," he said:
"Here in Virginia, we're home to the Pentagon, Quantico, the largest naval base in the world. Wallops Island, where we're launching missiles for the government. And we can't begin to allow entities that are owned and controlled by the Chinese government to buy up our farmland. So, we're not going to let it happen."
Youngkin said the federal government should do the same thing some states are doing:
"It should be land owned by Americans or at least entities that we trust and know and not allow the bad actors to buy up the land across America," he said.
