The Gateway Pundit reported that starting in 2015, a Chinese real estate development company called China Oceanwide Holdings began buying land on Oahu in the Hawaii Islands just ten miles west of the U.S. Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.

The stated intent of the land purchases was to build a luxury hotel and homes, but nothing was ever built, even though China Oceanwide had accumulated land worth over 500 million dollars in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor.

In February 2023, Rep. Dan Newhouse introduced the "Prohibition of Agricultural Land for the People's Republic of China Act," which would prohibit the purchase of public or private agricultural land in the U.S. by foreign nationals associated with the CCP. "The Chinese Communist Party is a threat to American democracy. The United States is engaged in a great power struggle with the CCP, and we must respond with tough policies that will protect our farmland and food supply chain," said Rep. Newhouse.
