Bill > S715

This bill, named the "No American Land for Communist China Act," aims to prohibit certain Chinese nationals and businesses from purchasing real estate adjacent to specific types of federally owned land in the United States. Under the bill's definitions, "covered Federal land" includes land managed by the Departments of Interior, Defense, Agriculture (specifically Forest Service), and Energy, as well as land classified as "Indian country." The bill requires the President to take actions preventing the purchase of real estate near these federal lands by two categories of entities: (1) agents of the Chinese government, and (2) businesses in which the Chinese government directly or indirectly owns 25% or more of the equity interests. The legislation applies to all U.S. territories and states, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and is designed to limit Chinese government and business interests from acquiring land near strategically important federal properties. The bill represents a geopolitical measure aimed at restricting potential Chinese land acquisition near sensitive U.S. government-controlled areas.
