That was enough to trigger immediate backlash from several major conservative figures who have spent years sounding the alarm over China’s growing influence.
Among the first to react was Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who shared the report online with nothing more than two punctuation marks.
“!!”
The brief response spoke volumes.
Soon after, journalist and commentator Megyn Kelly responded with a single stunned reaction:
“Omg.”
That exchange immediately caught the attention of conservatives online, many of whom interpreted the reactions as a warning sign from two prominent voices who have long championed hardline policies against Beijing.
For the America First base, China has never been viewed as a normal trading partner.
The movement spent years criticizing Chinese land purchases near military sites, warning about Chinese surveillance technology, condemning fentanyl trafficking networks connected to Chinese suppliers, and demanding aggressive action against apps like TikTok.
That is why the possibility of Chinese-owned factories spreading across the United States is creating deep concern among Trump supporters.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene openly voiced the frustration many conservatives are now expressing.
“I’m old enough to remember when MAGA was demanding China not be allowed to own any land in America,” Greene posted.
She also tied the issue to rising instability in the Middle East and America’s strategic relationship with Beijing.
“The war in Iran must be going worse than we know as the Strait remains closed,” Greene wrote. “So much so that China may be allowed to build $1 Trillion in factories in the U.S. probably in exchange for help with Iran.”
Then Greene delivered the line that quickly spread across conservative social media:
“MAGA is whatever Trump says it is, according to him.”
Meanwhile, longtime China analyst Gordon Chang issued an even more direct warning.
“China’s regime will use investments in America to subvert and destroy our country,” Chang posted. “Do not allow our enemy more bases of subversion here.”
Chang’s warning resonated because concerns over foreign ownership of critical industries are not new.
