Recently, the US Congress discussed the issue of Chinese citizens illegally growing cannabis in the United States.
Some Chinese citizens, after arriving in the US, bought land in places like Oklahoma and established cannabis farms.
These farms sometimes attract workers with fake job offers; the workers have to work long hours every day and live in poor conditions.
The farms may also use pesticides banned in the US.
The cannabis grown is sold across the United States.
US officials say these illegal cannabis farms are not only breaking the law but are also linked to other crimes such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and money laundering.
Many states in the US have found similar illegal cannabis farms.
US lawmakers and police take this issue seriously; they hope to stop these criminal activities and protect the safety of American people.
