6. So, how is #Texas becoming a product of #China? First of all, we have City and State Leaders actively pursuing foreign investors in Texas, as well as allowing Chinese Officials to invest in new US startup companies.

7. Texas Economic Development is an independently run 501c3 in which ALL Board Members are appointed by Governor Greg Abbott.

8. The US China Innovation Alliance is another 501c3 that promotes innovation through the
exchange of ideas... It is based in Houston and hosts an annual InnoSTARS program in which new companies can present their innovations. InnoSTARS was started in 2017.

9. Serving on the Board of US China Alliance is David Firestein, Pres and CEO of The George H.W. Bush Foundation for US China Relations. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Mayors of Houston and Austin are all supporters of the US China Innovation Alliance.

10. One medical company explained its involvement.
Among the programs being launched is a "remote second opinion" program... in Tongji Hospital in Wuhan...
The article goes on to state that US Doctors are NOT allowed to practice medicine in China.

12. It makes sense why Greg Abbott and the Bush family would be calling out Trump for the tariffs on China. They are literally buying Texas to send products back.

14. There have been many Chinese investments in #Texas in energy, oil, real estate, innovations and technology, as well as telecommunications in the past decade, but also in manufacturing.

15. #Texas had the largest single Chinese investment in a US manufacturing facility in Corpus Christi, Texas :
Tianjin Pipe Corporation (TPCO), steel pipes.
Will this company put others out?

16. Who is guarding #Texas?
Where are the gatekeepers?
Definitely NOT the BUSH Family and NOT Gov. Abbott

17. Pres. Donald Trump has done more than anyone to stop the takeover by China. Closing the Chinese Consulate in Houston was a good start.
We have also seen investigations into UT Professors and others.

18. A Texas A&M Professor and NASA Researcher was arrested for hiding his links to China.

However, others are being given a green light to invest with China in EVERY major industry in Texas. Consider our electric grid being reliant on Chinese windmills. https://sputniknews.com/us/202008241080265886-texas-professor-nasa-researcher-arrested-for-hiding-links-with-china-us-justice-department-says-/">https://sputniknews.com/us/202008...
