Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calls out the Chinese Communist Party for buying giant chunks of farmland and property in his state, saying it's a 'huge problem'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Speaking to Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Gov. Ron DeSantis - considered a potential 2024 presidential candidate - says it's a growing concern
- 'I don't think they should be able to do it. I think the problem is these companies have ties to the CCP,' he said
- The governor's solution has been to begin banning what he calls 'undue influence from rogue states' like China's ruling party
- The state has already banned what's known as a 'Confucius Institute,' public pro-China educational and cultural promotion programs
DeSantis added that there's likely more legislative action to come: 'We're also probably going to do legislation next legislative session about our pension investments, with things that may be linked to the CCP. We don't necessarily have a lot of it, but we want to make sure that we're cutting ties so that we're not funding our number-one adversary.'
This isn't the first time the Florida Republican has gone in on the CCP.
