DeSantis Aims for More Crackdowns on Chinese Communist Influence in Florida

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wants more limits on Communist Party of China influence in the state.

DeSantis held a news conference Thursday at Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Campus where he discussed recent actions he was taking against China and what he called "countries of concern" like Russia, Iran and Cuba.

The governor announced that he'd signed an executive order prohibiting government entities in Florida from procuring technology commodities and services from companies owned by or in those countries.

He also said he would propose legislation prohibiting the purchase of lands by those countries.
