Chinese Americans challenge property purchase restrictions.

Chinese Americans and their advocates are fighting back against discriminatory efforts to ban Chinese citizens from buying property in certain states, which they see as fueling xenophobia and unfairly blocking access to the American dream. While supporters of these bills cast their policies as targeting malign influence from the Chinese Communist Party, Asian Americans worry the bills are only fueling xenophobia. The battle is raging in Florida, where a new law targets Chinese citizens, and in other states, like Texas, where similar bills have been proposed.
