    They can't just legislate away something like that without broad buy in from their national bourgeoisie. Capital needs places to invest. Capital is international. American nationals own property in China, Chinese nationals own property in America. Banning Chinese nationals (or German, British, French, Indian, Egyptian, Philippino, etc.) from buying property in one country invites counter action from the other country.

      I don't doubt enforcement is going to be limited to people who don't benefit from a powerful retaliatory state.

      It might never get used at all. Just dangled over people's heads to inflict stress and provoke terror.
