yóu tā zhōu犹他州zhǎng长：yóu tā犹他bù不yǔn xǔ允许zhōng guó中国gōng sī公司mǎi买tǔ dì土地
Utah Governor Cox recently said that Utah does not allow Chinese companies to buy land within the state.
A few months ago, Utah stopped a Chinese company from buying land near the airport.
Cox said this is done to protect Utah's security.
He also said that this company has connections with the Chinese military, so they cannot be allowed to buy important land.
Utah has laws that prohibit foreign military companies from buying land.
In 2024, Utah passed a new law requiring companies from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia to sell their land in Utah within one year, or the government will take back the land.
Utah has already reclaimed a lot of land and is continuing to investigate land owned by other foreign companies.
Utah also has laws to prevent foreign companies from buying land near military bases.
Utah officials said these laws are to protect freedom and security and to prevent foreign forces from influencing Utah.
Other states in the U.S. also have similar laws, and everyone takes national security very seriously.
