The Chinese military-linked spy balloon saga seems to have reinforced efforts by American legislators to ban China from purchasing U.S. farmland after the surveillance airship traversed the United States and floated over U.S. military installations.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today reintroduced theProtecting Military Installations and Ranges Act, a bill to stop adversaries from acquiring land near military bases, and military areas, which puts our military and national security at risk. The legislation is cosponsored by Sens. Schmitt (R-Mo.), Braun (R-Ind.), Rubio
Some proposals are so obviously sensible that objections should be summarily swept aside. Such is true of a bill just introduced by multiple Republican senators to ban affiliates of adversarial regimes from buying land near U.S. military installations.
Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz reintroduced three bills this week taking on teh CCOP after the Chinese spy balloon made its way across the continental U.S. before being shot down.
The Chinese spy balloon that floated across the continental United States last week is only one piece of Beijing’s “brazen” actions inside the U.S. as China seeks to buy up U.S. farmland and targets Chinese dissidents inside America’s borders.
