Legislation has been introduced by Rep. Mike Gallagher, chairman of the House select committee on China, to prevent foreign adversaries from acquiring land near military bases and other sensitive sites. The bill would give the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States the power to block companies controlled by countries such as China, Russia, and Iran from purchasing US land. The proposal comes after land sales near Air Force bases involving Chinese buyers or undisclosed ownership details. The legislation would exclude residential and urban transactions to avoid criticism, and would establish a presumption of denial for deals involving parcels near military bases, intelligence sites, national laboratories, and critical telecommunications nodes. The bill has garnered bipartisan support, signaling the continued hostility towards Beijing in Congress.
