Arizona Governor Hobbs Vetoes Bill Blocking Chinese Land Purchases Near Military Bases

This article was originally written by Drew Berquist for WokeSpy.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is facing criticism after vetoing legislation that would have blocked the Chinese government and its affiliates from acquiring land near key military and infrastructure sites in the state.

The vetoed measure, Senate Bill 1109, passed the legislature but was rejected by Hobbs on Tuesday, prompting backlash from Republican lawmakers and national security advocates. State Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp condemned the veto, calling it a “politically motivated” move that puts Arizonans at risk. (RELATED: Your State Pension Might Be Tied To China)

“This is utterly insane,” Shamp said. “Governor Hobbs is an obstructionist against safeguarding our citizens from threats.”

PRIOR COVERAGE: States Want To Ban China’s Land Grab

In April 2024, more than 2 out of every 3 U.S. states were either looking to, or had established, laws to prevent non US citizens from nations with hostile relationships with the U.S. from owning our land. While many Republicans continue to call for prohibitions on China buying U.S. land, Trump is vowing to make it a top priority within his potential future administration. And it doesn’t just end with farmland. (LEARN MORE: GOP Targets Chinese Military Aggression With New Bill)

“People from other countries wanted to do our telecommunications and I wouldn’t allow it. We have to be careful. We’re going to be very firm on it,” Trump told Breitbart during his 2024 presidential campaign.

The soon-to-be second-term president also aired concerns over a potential Harris-Walz administration and the current Vice President’s limitations on public, unscripted communication. When asked directly if he thought Harris could handle herself with CCP leader Xi Jin-Ping, Trump said, “no, not even on the most basic conversations. She can’t answer a question from Oprah Winfrey.”

Stopping the stealth invasion of China into American territory was a key part of many people’s votes during the 2024 election. Clearly, there are still political leaders who want to allow this hostile nation to continue their invasion and destabilization of the U.S., but it doesn’t have to be this way.
