Texas legislation that would restrict land ownership by entities from China and three other countries is necessary for national security, according to the bill's author.
, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said all four governments have"demonstrated the capability and intent to promote their interests in ways that cut against U.S. interests and allied interests."
Kolkhorst described how the bill, which is backed by Gov. Greg Abbott, would"preserve" Texas' real estate, including its farmland, along with rare earth materials, oil and gas facilities, military bases, weapons manufacturers and coastline. The Air Force recently denied Fufeng Group its building permits for a wet corn milling plant on the land, calling the project a"significant threat to national security."
In Texas, meanwhile, a Chinese company owned by a wealthy former Chinese soldier with ties to the ruling Communist Party bought 140,000 acres near Laughlin Air Force Base, where pilots are trained.
