Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has vowed to crack down on “undue influence from rogue states” in response to Chinese businesses reportedly buying up large tracts of farmland.
A recent report by the National Association of Realtors found that Chinese real estate investors (reportedly associated with the Chinese Communist Party) have (so far) spent $6.1 billion on American real estate over a 12-month period that ended in March/2022 — more than any other group of foreigners. There is a great concern that some of these parcels are near sensitive military bases. GOP senators Marco Rubio (Florida) and Kevin Kramer (North Dakota) wrote a letter to the Biden administration earlier this month demanding that officials review a Chinese company’s purchase of North Dakota farmland just several miles from a military base involving drone technology.

If there are lists of nations American citizens can not travel to, shouldn't those same nations be on a list of nations whose citizens can not purchase Real Estate in U.S.A. nor use the homestead act to acquire land? I don't suppose China is on that do-not-travel-to list though.
"Florida accounted for 24% of all international real estate purchases in the US while California ranked second (11%)."
Wondering if any one nation stands out for having purchased that Real Estate in FL.

We should not allow any foreign ownership of property in the US, period. This is a National Security issue.
