Arkansas bills keep Chinese firms from leasing land near infrastructure

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced new bills to stop Chinese Communist Party companies from operating near critical infrastructure and to ban investments in Chinese funds by state-supported universities.
The measures aim to protect Arkansas's agricultural security and national security from perceived threats posed by Chinese businesses.
Sanders stated, "Once I sign this legislation into law, Chinese Communist Party-linked companies will be banned from owning property near critical infrastructure," emphasizing national security concerns.
Critics argue that these measures reflect broader anxieties over the CCP's potential encroachment on U.S. Interests and agricultural security.
