On January 2nd, Missouri Governor Mike Parson signed an executive order prohibiting entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) from purchasing land within 10 miles of any 'critical military facilities'. This move aims to address espionage concerns and protect national security. The ban, which includes all agricultural land near military installations, applies to China and other adversarial nations. In a statement, Governor Parson noted that this action represents the full extent of the state's executive authority under current law. Echoing the sentiment of urgency and necessity, Chairman @RepGallagher stated, 'Just ask yourself the question: can Americans buy land in China near its military bases? Of course, the answer is no.'
