On Wednesday, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders unveiled a series of bills, collectively referred to as the "Communist China Defense Legislative Package," designed to curb China's ability to conduct business within the state. 

The six proposed bills - some introduced and others still pending - target what the governor describes as "Communist China influence" in Arkansas.

Among the measures included are provisions to strengthen existing laws by reducing the timeframe for selling prohibited land holdings, banning CCP lobbying, and preventing any Arkansas municipality from having a sister city in China.

Additionally, any college or university hosting a Confucius Institute would be stripped of state funding, as the governor asserted China often uses such institutes for intelligence purposes.

Going forward, the state will also halt the use of made-in-China goods for promotional efforts.
