National security or xenophobia? Texas restricts Chinese from owning and renting property

Texas is the latest US state to take action against the Chinese over concerns of espionage.

The move comes in the wake of increasing tensions between the two countries, and with growing concerns over real estate purchases by foreigners in general, who are often outbid by foreign investors, mostly from Asia.

What does this mean for the future of US-Chinese relations?

Will this pave the way for similar policies across the country? Or will it drive Chinese residents to take their business elsewhere?

What do you think? Do you agree with the policy?
