Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday issued an executive action and announced legislative proposals aimed at stifling threats posed by the Communist Party of China and other hostile foreign powers in cyberspace, real estate, and academia.
The measures will curtail the intentions of all seven countries on Florida’s list of countries of concern, making it more difficult for China, Cuba, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Venezuela to engage in espionage or influence operations within Florida’s borders and preventing purchases of agricultural land and lands surrounding military bases by those governments or their agents.

“The Chinese Communist Party cheats on trade, steals our intellectual property, and produces deadly drugs like fentanyl that are pouring into our southern border,” said Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “Governor DeSantis’ announcements today are not only critical to protecting American interests and Florida farmlands but also to maintaining our national security.

Amen
A vote against Governor DeSantis is a vote for China
I bet this raises a stink...
California has stopped doing business with states they do not approve of. Certainly they will support this type of action. LOL.
Go get’em DeS.
“Very Presidential.”
Without a doubt. But could Florida afford to lose him? The vacuum created by his leaving for The Swamp could never be filled.
How the Hell is a Evil enemy Commie Bioweapons plant

This is insane .
How many Chinese Agents are in FL right now who help push this thing this far ?
Its Time to deport all these supposed Chinese Students , All CCP members , Travel visas from our shores .
This is going to get real now. Taking on the ChiComs is going to draw fire like he hasn’t seen before.
WOW - a governor who actually works for the American people??? COOL!
Indeed! This is what real leadership looks like!
Although he is governor of Florida, he shows the ability to handle national affairs.
“Without a doubt. But could Florida afford to lose him? The vacuum created by his leaving for The Swamp could never be filled.”
Very true.
He needs two terms as Governor DeSantis to set the state party on the right track and deepen the bench with his type of Republican.
Then on to DC.
Don’t get me wrong. DeSantis is a national treasure and should be shared by all. But, he needs to finish his impressive job in FL. 2028 maybe.
Yes, sounds good.
He’s doing great for Florida, and the country, right where he is. He needs to pull a successful 2nd term as Governor before he tries for the Oval Office.
