New law bans Arkansas universities from farm research with China, Russia | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has touted Arkansas' reputation as a leader in "kicking Communist China off our farmland and out of our state" since pushing for a slate of legislation aimed at China earlier this year.
