Stephanie Bice Introduces Bill to Stop China&#8217;s Land Purchases<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. \u200bStephanie Bice (R-OK) has introduced the Stop \u2063China&#8217;s Continuous Purchase of Land\u200b Act, a state-focused approach to prevent countries like China and Russia from buying land\u2062 in America.<\/p>\n<p>The bill \u200baims to incentivize states to\u200b prohibit the sale of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-san-diego-scraps-plans-to-build-tent-city-for-illegal-immigrants\/\" title=\"Report: San Diego scraps plans to build tent city for illegal immigrants\">agricultural land<\/a> to countries listed on the State Department&#8217;s Defense Trade Control\u200b Country Policies List and Russia. It does so\u200b by restricting access to\u200b specific federal grants and programs provided in \u2063the Inflation Reduction\u2064 Act.<\/p>\n<h3>Ensuring Accurate Documentation and Monitoring<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, the bill requires the secretary of agriculture to \u200bsubmit a report to Congress on updating the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act. This update would enhance\u2064 the accuracy of documentation, reporting, and monitoring of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-chip-roy-introduces-bill-to-ban-chinese-communist-party-from-buying-u-s-real-estate\/\" title=\"Rep.

However, concerns have grown across party lines about Chinese \u200dland ownership&#8217;s potential impact on American assets and information.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past decade, Chinese land ownership has\u200c significantly increased from approximately 69,000 acres in 2011 to nearly 384,000 acres in 2021, as per USDA \u2064data. Foreign land ownership as a \u200cwhole has also experienced\u200d a substantial \u2064rise during this period.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;China and the CCP make up one of the greatest threats\u2062 to\u200d our country, which is why it is deeply concerning that they continue to gobble up American land at an astounding rate,&#8221; said Bice \u2064in a statement. &#8220;The Stop CCP Land Act incentivizes\u200c states to prohibit countries\u200b like \u2063China and Russia from purchasing American agricultural land. Americans\u2062 should own American land, not foreign adversaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bice&#8217;s bill has garnered support from 15 co-sponsors, all Republicans, including House \u200cBudget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
