The new law in Florida is not that. The law here is according to the Governor and his supporters one based on national security and to guard against a threat of the Chinese government in general and the CCP in particular. If Canada banned Americans in general and Republicans specifically from purchasing property there, I would ask the same questions about that policy that I am asking about this one.

I was not trying to equate Canada or Australia to the FL law. I understand the FL bill is just targeting the 7 countries "of concern" only. I was simply reinforcing the point that many other countries have restrictions (aka discriminate) on foreigner's buying land & property, and it would not be necessarily "bad" if the US applied some restrictions also especially if the other country(ies) do the same for US citizens/PR.
