Entering 2023, the original Sino -US relations, while the balloon crisis, encountered controversy around the purchase restriction of real estate in the United States.The balloon crisis is a major game of attention to the world's diplomatic level, and the real estate problem is not so significant.However, the brewing and related disputes of the purchase restriction law indicate that the tension of Sino -US relations has penetrated into the local level.This is also a blow to China ’s foreign strategy that is committed to Chinese diplomatic strategies that are committed to the local levels of the United States.
Local legislative motion around U.S. real estate issues involves South Dakota, Florida, Virginia and Texas, and California also seems to have the intention of follow -up.These states are distributed in the east coast, west coast, south, and central and western regions. It is difficult to say that it is caused by a specific conservative political atmosphere in a certain area.In addition, according to the proposal of Lois Kolkhorsst, a Lois Kolkhorsstan, the restrictions on the targets are not just China, but including China, North Korea, Russia and Iran.This also makes it difficult for the proposal to accuse the Chinese alone or racial discrimination.
Obviously, tied to China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran, highlighting the serious distrust of some Americans for national security considerations for national security considerations.China is listed in it, indicating that in their eyes, China, Russia, North Korea, and Iraq have no differences with the United States that are hostile to the United States.In reality, citizens of North Korea, Iran, and Russia are definitely not as active as China to purchase real estate in the United States as China.This means that once these bills pass, the most impact will be Chinese companies and individuals, not other three countries.
Based on the interpretation of English -related news, the first -level members of the United States are not really concerned about the private purchase behavior of Chinese citizens in the United States.In fact, many wealthy people in China, film and television stars, and even known as "anti -United States" opinion leaders have purchased real estate in the United States and have never been obstructed.The primary issue of the first -level members of the United States state is that Chinese companies purchase farms and industrial land on a large scale in the United States.The farm area is as high as 130,000 hectares.Both large -scale transactions have stimulated the localist emotions of members of the state and some people who defend the state's land ownership and infrastructure safety.The deterioration of relations between China and the United States has also caused some state members to regard the large -scale investment ideology from China as a action that threatens US national security related to the Chinese government and has a planned threat.
Local legislation may be unconstitutional
When the relationship between China and the United States is better, Ohio has greatly welcomed the "Glass King" Cao Dewang's Fuyao glass company to settle in order to achieve the revival of the state's industrial industry and solve the employment problem.For "Fuyao Road", Fuyao was also completed and put into operation in 2016.Unfortunately, in the increasingly hostile environment of the two countries, the land purchase behavior of Chinese companies in the United States has to be strictly tried by the first -level legislative agencies in the United States.
Of course, these proposals are really passed, not easy at the legal level.Although to defend national security and prevent the foundation of the United States from being threatened as a legitimate reason, it is indeed a obvious discrimination tendency to pick out four countries.law.In addition, federal legal supervision foreign citizens, governments and companies purchase land.Therefore, even if such local laws are adopted, it may be overturned by the Supreme Court for unconstitutional.
Another problem is the identification of future real estate buyers.In the proposed legal provisions, the restricted producers are defined as "An Inpidual Who is a Citizen of China, IRAN, North Korea and Russia" (Chinese, Iran, North Korea, and Russian citizen).Some of the Chinese who have settled in the United States are Chinese Americans who have obtained American citizenship, and the other part is the "Chinese citizen and permanent residents of the United States" holding Chinese passports and American green cards for a long time.It is a Chinese citizen -free Chinese citizen, who is a Chinese citizen holding a green card, and who is a American citizen who is originally from China. The purpose is to be commercial or private, which will be difficult and tedious.
The concept to be clarified here is that the word Real Property used in the proposed bill includes real estate buildings, accessories facilities on the ground itself and the ground, as well as forest trees and minerals on the land.The currently known cases are actually large -scale real estate purchased for individuals or personal personal backgrounds instead of private housing.However, because of the broad concept of Real Property, it will definitely extend to the individual planned to buy private housing when it is implemented.As a result, the Chinese are settled in China, but buying, vacation, and children who live in the United States, or have a self -occupation demand but not a US citizen's working visa holder and permanent residents who have a self -occupation needs but not American citizens. They are here.In the vigilance and rejection caused by the large land transaction, it has become a potential attached victim.
Because of this effect, under the promotion of some Chinese groups, more than 300 Chinese residents of the Dalas Chinese held a demonstration against relevant legislation on January 29.In the instructions issued by the organizer through the WeChat account, the author found that the organizer requested that the participants can only show the US flag, which seems to show that the organizer wants to emphasize the protesters as "Americans", but they also use this to oppose targeting targetingDiscrimination of citizens and commercial entities in China, Russia, Iran, and DPRK.Instead, this highlights some kind of embarrassment of the purpose of the protest: if the protesters are all Americans, why care about whether a Russian company is restricted to buy farms in the United States?
In addition, there are about 14,000 Chinese people living in the Dallas area, and the number of participants in the parade is only more than 300, accounting for about 2%.The restrictions of large companies, especially large companies, have nothing to do with themselves, so they have no desire to participate in protests.In fact, wealthy buyers from China often love to buy houses with all cash, and continue to push up house prices throughout the United States, which has led to a disadvantageous position of local workers' mortgage buyers.Therefore, even in the broad "Chinese" group, the demands of real interests are not consistent.
Of course, the more important problem is that the acting of the camps in today's world and the first -level local society in the United States, the confrontation of "China" in the political sense has been exposed.The purchase of large -scale land from China has been regarded as a threat to the US infrastructure and the infringement of the land ownership of the state in the United States and the infrastructure of the residents of the state.Even if the laws with ideology and discrimination are not approved in the proposed proposal, China has been included in the same hostile country as Russia, Iran, and North Korea.fact.Ordinary producers are just innocent victims in the struggle between the two strengths.
The author must also point out that this year, the New York City Council passed a draft legislative case initiated by the city councilor Christopher Marte on February 2 to make the Lunar New Year a legal holiday in New York City; and inIn September last year, Gavin Newsom, California, has signed a bill to make California the first state in the United States to list the Lunar New Year as a legal holiday.The administrative and legislative agencies of two important regions in the United States allow Chinese and other Asian citizens to enjoy a day holiday in the Lunar New Year. African Chinese can better understand the meaning of the Lunar New Year.The efforts of heritage are still underway, and they are still making new progress, and have not been affected by the deterioration of Sino -US relations.
