The U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment introduced by Rep. Feenstra to the Lower Energy Costs Act, which bans China from buying American farmland suitable for energy production. The amendment received overwhelming support, passing with a vote of 407 to 26. In related developments, Red State lawmakers, following a DCNF Investigation and reporting from the @DailyCaller News Foundation by @JakeSmith2212, Kansas and Florida have taken steps to limit Chinese influence in their states. Kansas lawmakers passed SB172, a bill that prohibits firms and entities linked to China and other foreign adversaries from owning or purchasing agricultural land within 150 miles of a military installation. Meanwhile, Florida has issued warnings to schools against using China-linked tutoring services. These measures reflect growing concerns over Chinese investments and influence in the United States.
