One bill restricts Chinese nationals from buying land in Florida unless they are also American citizens or permanent residents.
Chinese citizens with non-tourist visas, meanwhile, would be limited to buying fewer than two acres of land that is at least five miles away from any military institutions. Critics have warned that the bill could facilitate discrimination against Chinese homeowners in Florida while also harming other immigrants.

The U.S. Government via All its Checks & Balances, from All political parties, from local to state to federal U.S. government agencies have been APPROVING & AUTHORIZING the sell of both land and water as “ Open To The Public” legislation exist … instead of people arguing and pointing fingers, follow the legal documentation.
1.) China is buying up American farms. Washington wants to crack down.
Bipartisan pressure is building to stop foreign nationals from purchasing American farm operations and receiving taxpayer subsidies.

2.) Foreign-owned land accounts for about 2.7% of all U.S. farmland and forest land, which, according to the Department of Agriculture, is about 897 million acres.
That data also shows that the approximately 190,000 acres of farmland owned by Chinese interests has remained virtually unchanged since
“Lawmakers worried that China could gain control over the U.S. food system through land purchases are looking to curb the nation's grip on American farmland, despite no evidence of a recent spike in land sales to Chinese interests, according to an Agri-Pulse analysis of Agriculture Department data.
The most recent data collected under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA) shows Chinese investors held a little more than half of 1% of the overall 35.8 million acres of U.S. farmland and forest land under foreign ownership in 2019. Foreign-owned land accounts for about 2.7% of all U.S. farmland and forest land, which, according to the Department of Agriculture, is about 897 million acres.
That data also shows that the approximately 190,000 acres of farmland owned by Chinese interests has remained virtually unchanged since 2013. However, the USDA’s data on foreign farmland ownership is two years old, so Chinese investors could own more or less land than the numbers reflect. Additionally, complex company ownership structures and problems with USDA enforcement of the reporting act, as reported by the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting in 2017, may mean those numbers are not accurate or up to date.”

China mainly imports water footprints from the USA, India and Brazil.

American supply chains face a dire threat from China's water shortages
“Water - or rather, the lack of it in China - may be the factor that pushes U.S. supply chains over the edge.
Water is an unseen, vital input for all economic activity. Beyond agriculture, water is critical for power generation, mining, industry and the consumer products we rely on every single day. Like the estimated 3000 gallons of water that it takes to make the typical smartphone.
As it turns out, China is drastically short of the water it needs to maintain its economy. China's per capita water availability is one-quarter of the global average, and nearly 700 million of its citizens live in regions considered highly water-stressed. Meanwhile, groundwater depletion has been so significant in the areas around Beijing that parts of the city are falling into the earth by more than 14 centimeters a year.”

Ha! They will just form an LLC or Corporation and get all the land they want. I hope this isn’t another liberal website that trashes conservative politicians with vague innuendo…
