Legislation restricting any “foreign principal” from China and six other “foreign countries of concern” from purchasing property within 10 miles of a military installation or critical infrastructure has been approved by both chambers of the Florida Legislature and will go to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has indicated that he will sign it.
The bill (SB 624) lists seven countries: China, Russia, Iran, Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria — but extensive language in the bill targets people from “the People’s Republic of China, the Chinese Community Party, or any official member of the People’s Republic of China or the Chinese Community Party.”
That’s raised concerns within the Chinese-American community in Florida and across the country who claim it could lead to discrimination and even hate crimes against them.
