Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said his state achieved a “big win” for national security after a Chinese company with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was required under state law to sell land that it owned near military installations.

Cox held a press conference at the Utah State Capitol on Feb. 12, announcing that Mitime Utah Investment had recently sold the land, after the state sent the Chinese company a letter in November 2025 directing it to divest the property.
