No American Land for Communist China Act

# No American Land for Communist China Act (S 715) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would prohibit Chinese nationals and entities controlled by the Chinese government from purchasing agricultural land, energy resources, or other sensitive real estate in the United States. If passed, it would create restrictions on foreign ownership of these assets—particularly targeting China—as a national security measure. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect Chinese investors and Chinese government-controlled companies seeking to buy U.S. land or natural resources. It could also impact agricultural landowners and real estate markets in states with significant Chinese investment.

The restrictions would be enforced against foreign entities rather than U.S. citizens or businesses. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyoming) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. Many similar proposals have been introduced in recent years reflecting bipartisan concerns about foreign land ownership, though significant restrictions already exist in U.S. law for foreign agricultural land purchases.
