U-S Senator Chuck Grassley is concerned with China taking over some agricultural companies.  Swiss based Syngenta, makers of crop protection products along with being a seed company was acquired by a Chinese company.  Grassley, a republican from Iowa, spoke to agricultural news reporters about the possible danger of this acquisition, given the fact that I-P-O’s are no longer being offered.

Grassley says once again the actions prove the Chinese cannot be trusted.

Grassley says the Chinese acquisition is viewed as part of their national security strategy.  Grassley warns companies to be aware when conducting business with the Chinese.

Grassley says for companies to “think twice before dealing business with the devil.”
