Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday criticized the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) connections to foreign companies and individuals buying up residential property and farmland in the U.S.
“I don’t think they should be able to do it,” the governor told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “I think the problem is these companies have ties to the CCP, and it’s not always apparent on the face of whatever a company is doing, but I think it’s a huge problem.”
He lauded Florida’s ban on the China-funded Confucius Institute, which backs cultural centers on college campuses that have drawn criticism from both liberals and conservatives.
