Given the recent progress in dark matter direction detection experiments, we examine a light bino–higgsino dark matter (DM) scenario ( GeV and
GeV) in natural supersymmetry with the electroweak fine tuning measure
. By imposing various constraints, we note that: (i) For
, the parameter space allowed by the DM relic density and collider bounds can almost be excluded by the very recent spin-independent (SI) scattering cross-section limits from the XENON1T (2017) experiment. (ii) For
, the SI limits can be evaded due to the cancelation effects in the
coupling, while rather stringent constraints come from the PandaX-II (2016) spin-dependent (SD) scattering cross-section limits, which can exclude the higgsino mass
and the LSP mass
up to about 230 and 37 GeV, respectively. Furthermore, the surviving parameter space will be fully covered by the projected XENON1T experiment or the future trilepton searches at the HL-LHC.
