Senator Mike Rounds Discusses National Security and Agricultural Land Purchases with Experts

Published | Video Starts at 00:48

So for Dr. McGinn, I want to thank you for your testimony and for your support of this legislation. In your testimony, how significant of a national security threat is China? (00:48–01:06)
