What are the immediate national security concerns raised by the presence of Chinese-owned GNC stores on US military bases?

Senators Ted Budd, Tom Cotton, and Rick Scott introduced the Military Installation Retail Security Act to ban businesses owned by adversarial nations, including China, from operating on US military bases. This follows a House bill by Rep. Pat Harrigan, citing national security concerns related to the Chinese-owned GNC stores operating on approximately 85 US military installations. The senators argue these stores could be used to exploit personal data of American citizens.
