9. China knows what it is doing. Why do you think they went after farms and farm related companies?

They can kill several birds with one stone, weaken Trump and hopefully get him defeated, but longer term, own large swaths of America that serves their national needs.

Anytime there is a massive difference in two populations, such a thing can happen if both countries are roughly the same. China has been harvesting the lion's share of advanced technical degrees worldwide for more than four decades, they are now putting that to use versus an idiot US President. China is almost ten times larger than us, a 10% growth in it's population creates a country almost as large as us, that is a massive advantage for them but also makes their land needs acute.
