Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on March. 7 unveiled a bill to block Chinese Communist Party affiliates from owning U.S. farmland, joining a chorus of lawmakers who are sounding the alarm on the issue.
“This Land is Our Land Act” would bar corporations and individuals linked to the Chinese regime from buying or leasing U.S. agricultural land while existing owners must divest their interests under the bill or face fines and criminal consequences.
