impose as a condition on each conveyance of real property located at 
Long Beach Naval Station the requirement that the property may not be 
subsequently conveyed (whether by sale, lease, or other method) to 
China Ocean Shipping Company, or any successor entity to the company.
    (c) Reversionary Interest.--If the Secretary determines at any time 
that real property located at Long Beach Naval Station and conveyed 
under the provisions of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 
1990 has been conveyed to China Ocean Shipping Company (or any 
successor entity to the company) in violation of subsection (b), or is 
otherwise being used by China Ocean Shipping Company (or any successor 
entity to the company) in violation of such subsection, all right, 
title, and interest in and to the property shall revert to the United 
States, and the United States shall have the right of immediate entry 
thereon.
