• An activist judge at a Federal Appeals Court — previously at the ACLU and before that, SPLC — halted a Florida law banning citizens of China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria, and companies associated with those countries, from buying agricultural land in Florida, as well as any property within a 10-mile radius of a military base or any other “critical infrastructure” on the grounds that the law is racist.

• The Chinese plaintiffs who sued were represented by at least one lawyer who has previously served as legal counsel for numerous Chinese state-owned enterprises controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

• Chinese citizens aren't even really banned from buying land: Those with non-tourist visas can buy a residential property so long as it’s five miles away from a military base and smaller than two acres.

• Why should Americans be forced to compete with the entire population of planet Earth for real estate in our own country? And what business do foreigners who don’t even live in the U.S. have in owning land?

Last month, SB264, a Florida law barring non-resident Chinese nationals from buying property in the state was denounced by its critics as racist against Asians and halted by a Federal Appeals Court in Georgia. The court argued the bill violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, citing “anti-Chinese” statements by Florida politicians as evidence of the state’s supposed discriminatory intent. The anti-China rhetoric in question? A statement by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press office celebrating his signing of SB264 that explained the bill was enacted to “counteract the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the state of Florida” and a tweet by DeSantis accusing the Justice Department of “siding with Communist China against Florida’s law prohibiting CCP-tied entities from buying land in Florida.”
