Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calls out the Chinese Communist Party for buying giant chunks of farmland and property in his state, saying it's a 'huge problem'

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Speaking to Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Gov. Ron DeSantis - considered a potential 2024 presidential candidate - says it's 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,' he said

The governor's solution has been to begin banning what he calls 'undue influence from rogue states' like China's ruling party

The state has already banned what's known as a 'Confucius Institute,' public pro-China educational and cultural promotion programs

DeSantis added that there's likely more legislative action to come: 'We're also probably going to do legislation next legislative session about our pension investments, with things that may be linked to the CCP. We don't necessarily have a lot of it, but we want to make sure that we're cutting ties so that we're not funding our number-one adversary.'

This isn't the first time the Florida Republican has gone in on the CCP.

#1 'I don't think they should be able to do it. I think the problem is these companies have ties to the CCP,' he said

Aren't all the Chinese companies linked to the CCP?

I agree with DeSantis. Maybe there should be an escape clause in the deeds such that the Chinese property might be subject to confiscation. Better yet, just make it illegal to have ownership in American property by our enemies.

Before the Cuban revolution, their constitution stated that property could not be seized without compensation. After the revolution, the constitution was changed such that property could be seized without compensation. i.e. confiscation.

This seems to be a problem in many places.
Canada too.

#2 Chinese investment policies are like open borders policies, that is "creeping invasions." We have too many politicians abetting these anti-American policies because of lucre.
