Chinese nationals living in Florida sue Ron DeSantis, claiming he's taking Florida back to the anti-Asian discrimination laws of a century ago.

The article discusses a lawsuit filed by a group of Chinese citizens in Florida against a new state law that prohibits Chinese nationals from purchasing property near military installations and critical infrastructure. The law, which also affects citizens from Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Russia, and North Korea, imposes severe penalties on Chinese buyers and sellers, while others face lesser consequences. The American Civil Liberties Union argues that the law promotes housing discrimination against people of Asian descent and lacks evidence of national security risks associated with Chinese property ownership. The law is set to take effect on July 1 and has drawn comparisons to historical discriminatory practices, raising concerns about its broader implications for foreign land ownership in the U.S. [Extracted from the article]
