More than two thirds of states — primarily controlled by Republicans — have enacted or are considering laws limiting or barring foreign ownership of land.
While these laws typically restrict land purchases by multiple countries with hostile U.S. relations, there’s little doubt that China is the main target of these efforts — and that politics are propelling the movement. Restrictions are being enacted across the country — in Texas, Florida and elsewhere, almost exclusively pushed by Republicans — even though there’s little evidence of a credible threat considering Chinese interests currently own a miniscule amount of U.S. territory.
