Senate Republicans have introduced a bill aimed at protecting sensitive military sites across the United States from foreign adversaries such as China, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said on June 18.

Dubbed the “Protect Our Bases Act,” the measure would strengthen the ability of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)—an interagency panel that reviews the national security implications of foreign investments in the U.S. economy—to review foreign land purchases.
