The bill trades stronger national-security protections and local control by blocking China‑linked government acquisitions of U.S. property for reduced foreign investment, possible diplomatic/economic blowback, added enforcement costs, and heightened due‑process/property‑rights risks for lawful parties.
Homeowners and local communities: reduces purchases of sensitive U.S. land by foreign government–affiliated entities tied to China, preserving local control over property and limiting foreign-government influence.
Taxpayers and residents near critical sites: may protect critical infrastructure and areas near military installations from foreign influence or proximity risks.
Immigrants, lawful businesses, and investors with minor ties to China: broad definitions of 'ownership, control, or influence' risk ensnaring legitimate purchasers and raising due-process and property-rights concerns.
Financial institutions, investors, and homeowners: banning China‑tied entities from buying U.S. property will reduce foreign investment and could lower demand and property values in some markets.
American exporters, businesses, and taxpayers: the prohibition could provoke diplomatic retaliation or complicate U.S.–China economic relations, producing downstream costs for exporters and the broader economy.
