Florida House passes bill limiting Chinese land ownership.

The Florida House has passed a bill that would prohibit Chinese citizens from owning property or land in the state if they are not US citizens or permanent residents. The bill would limit land purchases near military bases and critical infrastructure from residents of a handful of foreign adversaries, including Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela. The legislation has sparked protests outside the Capitol, divided Democrats, and prompted lawmakers to imply that those against the bill were conspiring with the Chinese Communist Party.
