Wen Raiti, a Chinese American community leader in Jacksonville, Florida, has been a Republican for more than a decade. As a small business owner, she said, the party’s fiscal conservatism and small government ethos resonated with her.

But last May, when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation banning Chinese citizens from buying property in Florida, Raiti changed her party affiliation and began campaigning for local and national Democratic candidates.

Leading up to Florida’s Aug. 20 primary election, anger toward Senate Bill 264 has turbocharged voter mobilization efforts in the Chinese American community in the state, organizers and elected officials said, pushing conservatives to defect from the GOP while inspiring first-time voters to register and volunteer for Democrats.

What part of "and is not a citizen of the United States" don't they understand? Or have they not given up CCP membership?

[ConservativeMind]

These people are Chinese spies.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like the bimbo was never an American or a Republican. It takes a lot of dipschidtness going on to change from one to the other overnight.

And a few more Chinese spies supporting Democrats. No loss.

What is she going to do about it?

Go back home to Red China? No.

But she does plan to campaign for Red Kamala.

“I was a lifelong Republican until . . .”

How cliche.

50 year moratorium on all immigration is required, since The Warren Court and Carter Administration destroyed any protections against multiple citizenship.

Makes zero sense. DeSantis signs a law to prevent CCP from buying up US land and that makes her change their views on those issues 180 degrees?

[dforest]

Huh? He didn’t ban people of chinese origin who are now American citizens. He just banned Chinese citizens.

RATs are dumb.

Can Americans Buy Property in China?

As an American looking to invest in property in China, it's essential to understand the legal restrictions on foreign property ownership. While there are limitations on the types of properties foreigners can buy, Americans can purchase real estate in China through leasehold rights or joint ventures with Chinese partners.

So Americans can never buy property in China, but these stupid people change their vote to Democrat because we do the same to Chinese nationals.

Yawn .

Tough shiite Wen.

There is a very good reason for this, and much to your chagrin, this is what's best for America.

Perhaps you're upset due to this undermining a goal of yours?

[Pox]

In Florida?

Good luck with that!

[ifinnegan]

Nonsense.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Most of them have not.

They are not American citizens in any way, shape or form.

In the majority of countries on this planet you are restricted from owning property unless you are a resident. And even if you are there are restrictions on how much you can own and where.

Her actions just show where her true loyalties are, and it isn’t with the United States

[FlipWilson]

Oh look here, NBC loves them some Chinese spies.

[Salvavida]

She was never an American.
