In a controversial move, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a law that prohibits Chinese nationals without US green cards from buying property in the state. This law, known as Senate Bill 264, has sparked uneasiness and confusion among ethnic Chinese residents in Florida.
Under SB 264, citizens of certain countries including Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria are also restricted from purchasing property within 10 miles of military installations or critical infrastructure facilities in Florida. However, Chinese citizens without green cards face a complete ban on property ownership in the state.
