Chinese entities own about 1% of the acres held by foreigners in the United States.
Lawmakers in North Carolina have approved legislation to prevent state-controlled enterprises from China and other adversarial nations from owning land intended for agriculture or property near military bases.
The state's House unanimously approved the measure Wednesday, according to the Daily Wire.
Entities in which more than half of shares are controlled by China, Cuba, North Korea and Russia or Venezuela would not be permitted to purchase or lease any land within 25 miles of a military installation or any agricultural land, according to the bill.
"As someone who grew up on a family farm, preserving North Carolina’s farmland is a top priority," North Carolina State Rep. Jennifer Balkcom, a Republican and the primary bill sponsor.
