Hinson Expands Effort to Block CCP from Buying American Land

June 18, 2024


Washington, DC - Congresswoman Hinson (IA-02) co-sponsored the No American Land for Communist China Act. The legislation, led by Representative Dan Newhouse (WA-04) will prohibit members of the CCP or any CCP-backed entity from purchasing any American land near federal U.S. land. This protects our military installations, national labs, and land with critical resources from being purchased by our greatest adversary.

"Our efforts to block Communist China from purchasing U.S. land must be airtight because they will exploit any loophole available to steal from us and undermine our national security. I'm proud to join legislation that specifically prevents Communist China from infiltrating federal land, which often includes sensitive military installations and national labs. I will continue working to ensure Communist China cannot buy another acre of U.S. land."  - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson 

Background:
The No American Land for Communist China Act prohibits any agent of the People's Republic of China or any business with ties to the CCP from purchasing land adjacent to U.S. federal land. Federal land includes any land owned by the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, and the Department of the Interior.
