Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a trio of bills Monday designed to stem the influence of the Chinese Communist Party, including a ban on Chinese citizens purchasing farmland in the Sunshine State.
"Florida is taking action to stand against the United States’ greatest geopolitical threat —the Chinese Communist Party," Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said in a statement Monday.
"I’m proud to sign this legislation to stop the purchase of our farmland and land near our military bases and critical infrastructure by Chinese agents, to stop sensitive digital data from being stored in China, and to stop CCP influence in our education system from grade school to grad school. We are following through on our commitment to crack down on Communist China."
