Republican Gov. Mike Parson of Missouri signed an executive order this week that will ban foreign nationals or companies associated with China or Russia from purchasing land in his state near military bases.

Executive Order 24-01 was signed on Tuesday and outlines who now can purchase land within 10 miles of a military facility.

In the order, the governor cited his and other Missouri lawmakers’ desire to protect the state and country from espionage or other activities.

The order noted the U.S. government has determined some “foreign governments or foreign non-government persons have engaged in a long-term pattern or serious instance of conduct significantly adverse to the national security of the United States or security and safety of United States persons.”
