TL;DR Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a series of bills that ban Chinese citizens from buying land in the state, citing the "malign influence" of the Chinese Communist Party. The bill restricts Chinese nationals from buying land in Florida unless they are American citizens or permanent residents. Critics warn that the bill could facilitate discrimination against Chinese homeowners in Florida while also harming other immigrants. The bills also include restrictions on colleges and universities accepting gifts from foreign countries and the use of government devices to download applications such as TikTok.
