This paper investigates how US state legislators respond to Chinese investment in American agricultural land, weighing national security concerns against local economic benefits. The study finds a negative correlation between the scale of Chinese-owned land in a district and a legislator’s support for restrictive measures, indicating that economic gains often outweigh security fears.
