Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted the Chinese Communist Party on Friday for buying up huge chunks of farmland and other properties in the Sunshine State.
Speaking to Fox News' Laura Ingraham, DeSantis - considered a potential 2024 presidential candidate and currently running for re-election in Florida - said Beijing purchasing American real estate is a growing concern.
'I don't think they should be able to do it. I think the problem is these companies have ties to the CCP, and it's not always apparent on the face of whatever a company is doing - but I think it's a huge problem.'

Maybe congress should pass a Law that forbids the Sale of Land in the US to any Foreign Country! And WHO is selling their Farmland to China? It should NOT be allowed!

Someone ought to check out land owned in NY, Oregon, Washington and California where China is very present in real estate and politics. But first, let’s ask some questions of serious politicians (there are a few) about Chinese influence in DC. I’m also wondering how deep Chinese influence runs ar our southern border and nautical ports of entry.

I have worked in China for a decade, developing industrial plants to generate hydrogen and power from coal via gasification. Unless laws have recently changed, ownership of land by anyone other than the state is forbidden. A long-term lease is the only way to develop a project. AND such a lease request by a foreign company would be summarily rejected unless the CCP government supported/got a cut from the project AND the lessee company was at least 51% one/controlled by a CCP-approved Chinese company.
Let me tell you, they make it very onerous for a foreign company to build in China.
Why doesn't the US do the same?

China China China. All of our problems are due to China, right? Isn’t that what Fox News tells us every day? Nonsense. “China” is the perfect cover for The Swamp in every way. The political elites own the world and they know it. Meanwhile, trannies and lesbians that you wouldn’t let babysit your child is indoctrinating children for six hours every day for years (as stated by President Trump), individual Democrats are permitted to vote hundreds of times via drop boxes, and federal law enforcement has become SS troopers for The Swamp. This is the new USA. Trust no one.

I've stated before our corporation is not allowed to own land in China. We built a building with a 49 year land lease. The Chicoms needed the land for a new road, broke the lease, the company leased a building from another Chicom nearby. But yet they can buy farmland and mineral rights in Permian Basin?

Another reason the house and senate must be turned over to conservatives in November...there should be a law that a foreign country cannot buy American land....until that time nervous Nancy and papa Paul are selling US out... and WE can only sit by and watch the Chinese take over...when President Trump takes over the White House again...then china will pay for it's aggression of our country...until then tie them up in court and wait for relief...

Foreign countries never had a problem nationalizing American businesses, like Aramco in the middle east. We should do the same and when the UN starts crying, kick them out as well.

Maybe he should start calling out the Floridians (and other Americans) who are SELLING huge chunks of farmland and other properties to the Chinese. They can't buy if we won't sell.

@#14 - Do the research for us and let us know.

Maybe folks should remind the media that Mexico has strict laws regarding the sale of any property to noncitizens who want to buy. Might be time for this country to mimic some of those laws Mexico has in place to protect their own sovereignty.
