Buying property in the US:
A group of Chinese citizens living in the US state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against the new property (property in the US) purchase law.
According to international media reports, the law applies to land near military installations and other sensitive institutional structures and also affects citizens of Cuba, Venezuela, Syria, Iran, Russia and North Korea, but Chinese citizens face stricter restrictions.
The American Civil Liberties Union Press Release:
The American Civil Liberties Union said in a press release announcing the lawsuit that the law discriminates against people of Asian descent in violation of the Constitution and the Fair Housing Act.
The Union added that the law would place an undue burden of suspicion on anyone buying a property who sounds Asian, Russian, Iranian, Cuban, Venezuelan, or Syrian.
The Lawsuit Filed:
The lawsuit filed says the law unfairly equates Chinese people with their government’s actions and there is no evidence that Chinese nationals buying Florida property poses a national security threat.
