Key sectors of our economy should not be captive to some of these foreign nations, particularly outfits like the Communist Party of China. And then even when you have allies like Taiwan, how that could impact, if there was a disruption there, could throw a lot of this through the loop even more than we\u2019ve seen over the past year and a half. So the more we have this capacity within our own country but particularly within our own state here in Florida, the more opportunities there\u2019s going to be for people and the more secure both our economic supply chains will be and our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On December 20, DeSantis announced his plan to confront Communist China, stating in a press release he would \u201cconduct a survey of all of the investments of the Florida Retirement System to determine how many assets the state has in Chinese companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at how these major companies behave when faced with Chinese disapproval, they censor what the CCP tells them to censor and we see groveling apologies,\u201d DeSantis fired. \u201cGo back a generation, and the idea of the American elites was, \u2018If we allow China into the WTO and give them most favored nation status, that will make China more like us.\u2019 This experiment has failed and it has endangered our nation\u2019s national and economic security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like the SBA to survey the investments that are currently being done,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen the legislature comes back they can make statutory changes to say that the Communist Party of China is not a vehicle that we want to be entangled with. I think that that would be something that would be very, very prudent. I also think that our country as a whole but certainly Florida would like to see more production and manufacturing re-shored and we would be a great place to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The release noted, \u201cThe actions taken today will further strengthen Florida\u2019s fiscal footing and signal to those in corporate America who prop up a genocidal, authoritarian, imperialist regime that they will not do so with Floridians\u2019 money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor far too long, the communist regime in China has attempted to infiltrate our financial and educational institutions,\u201d said&nbsp;Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nu\u00f1ez. \u201cI applaud Governor DeSantis\u2019 efforts that will curb China\u2019s investment in industries critical to our national security and protect Floridians from the dangers posed by the Chinese Communist Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI appreciate Governor DeSantis\u2019 asserting our seat at the table when it comes to how SBA, and its fund managers, decide on investments,\u201d Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis stated.&nbsp;\u201cA sad reality is that too many federal leaders for too long have been missing-in-action when it has come to holding China accountable. As Americans got our cheap goods, the Chinese government wasn\u2019t playing by the rules when it came to intellectual property or trade. Meanwhile, they\u2019ve been busy buying influence in Hollywood and Washington. Unfortunately, between COVID and the supply chain issues, we\u2019ve seen how reliant our country has become on China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last August, DeSantis placed Ben &amp; Jerry\u2019s parent company Unilever on the state\u2019s List of Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel after Unilever announced it would remove its products and prohibit the sale of its ice cream in Judea and Samaria.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
