Ron DeSantis

The statement constitutes public discourse as it engages with a public policy issue regarding land ownership by foreign entities, specifically targeting Chinese citizens and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The statement credits a political figure for past actions related to this policy, which is a matter of public concern and debate.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not directly cause harm but could contribute to a narrative that may be perceived as discriminatory against Chinese citizens, potentially leading to harm. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement does not engage in cyberbullying or hate speech directly, but it could be seen as disrespectful to the dignity of Chinese citizens by generalizing them as associated with the CCP. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it focuses on exclusion rather than dialogue or mutual understanding. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue, as it presents a unilateral action without addressing potential counterarguments or engaging with opposing views. [-1]
5. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The statement uses influence to highlight a policy decision, but it does not clearly demonstrate how this action benefits society as a whole, especially considering potential negative implications for Chinese citizens.
6. Principle 7:

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement upholds free speech by discussing a legislative action, but it could be more responsible by addressing the broader implications of such a policy.
