Over 3/4 of voters say activities at Chinese-owned properties near U.S. bases should stop, poll

Most American voters say the United States should halt any construction at Chinese-owned property near U.S. military facilities and stop deliveries to and from such locations , according to a poll released Tuesday.

The Convention of States Action poll, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group, showed that 76.3% of likely American voters answered "Yes" to the  question: "In light of the Chinese spy balloon, do you think the United States should put a freeze on any construction on or deliveries to/from Chinese owned property near U.S. military installations?"

When broken down by political party, Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to favor ceasing activities at Chinese-owned properties at 89% to 64%.

The poll was conducted Feb. 22–23 among 1,084 likely general election voters, with a 2.9% margin of error.

National security concerns about Chinese entities purchasing land near U.S. military bases has led lawmakers in Texas, North Dakota and Florida to consider bans on the practice.
