Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed legislation Monday designed to curb the influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The governor signed three bills — SB 264, 258, and 846 — which take crucial steps to stop CCP influence in the Sunshine State.
“Today, Florida makes it very clear: we don’t want the CCP in the Sunshine State. We want to maintain this as the Free State of Florida,” DeSantis said, signing legislation designed to do just that. SB 264, for instance, prohibits the purchase of farmland in Florida by the CCP or what DeSantis described as “other foreign countries of concern.”
“We believe protecting our food supply is a security issue, and we want to make sure that our agricultural land is not compromised by CCP influence,” he said during Monday’s press conference. “Now, the prohibition in that bill is not just limited to farmland. It also includes land within ten miles of any military installation or any type of critical infrastructure in our state,” DeSantis continued, adding that the legislation “ensures our seaports and ensures our airports, power plants, telecom systems, and other critical infrastructure will not be compromised by the CCP or any foreign adversary.
