DeSantis signs bills targeting Chinese influence in Florida

TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed multiple bills aimed at limiting the influence of China's communist leadership, including banning TikTok from government and educational institution servers and devices, preventing sensitive data from being stored on servers connected to the CCP, and blocking Chinese entities or affiliates from purchasing farmland or other land near military bases or other infrastructure. The bills also curtail the influence of other nations like Venezuela, Cuba, and Syria.
