Mike Belcher, a political figure active in New Hampshire, outlined on his Twitter account a series of legislative bills targeting foreign influence and property control in the state. In a tweet posted on January 7, 2026, Belcher detailed the proposed measures: “The bills in question: 1) ban control of real property by Chinese nationals and agents 2) ban college affiliation by Chinese nationals or agents 3) establish a counter-intelligence office in NH to investigate foreign capture and subversion”.
Later that day, Belcher called for public support for these initiatives. On January 7, 2026, he wrote: “I need all hands for these bills! We’re up against the Left who are traditional allies of the CCP, the status quo, billions in illicit funds subverting government, elite-capture operations, etc. If you don’t want the warring Chinese Communist Party controlling land in your town”.
Belcher also commented on legislative proceedings during inclement weather. In another post from January 7, 2026, he stated: “We come in during a major snowstorm knowing it’s going to be a very long day and hearing Dems are on board with limiting debate, yet they open up with a ridiculous and unlikely attempt to suspend rules to spend more of your tax money on schools… Not a good start.”
Concerns about foreign ownership of U.S. land have been part of broader national debates. Several states have introduced or passed legislation restricting foreign entities—particularly those linked to China—from purchasing agricultural or other types of real estate within their borders.
