Texas lawmakers are attempting to root out a China-backed business creeping into territory near a U.S. Air Force base.
Legislation that passed unanimously through the state senate in April would ban businesses backed by hostile countries such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea from acquiring critical infrastructure contracts or companies within the state. The bill's sponsors hope to make a stand against the incursion of Chinese business into the Texas power grid. State senator Donna Campbell (R., Texas), a cosponsor of the act, said the inaction of the federal government left the challenge of confronting Chinese influence up to local lawmakers.

The Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act, put forward by Texas State Senator Donna Campbell, was passed by unanimous vote in the Texas Senate on Monday (April 26). If the bill passes in the state house and is signed into law by the governor, it will take effect on Sept. 1. The aim of the bill is to prevent ownership of Texas infrastructure projects by individuals or entities connected to Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. Ownership attempts by other countries deemed a threat by the governor, in consultation with the Department of Public Safety, can also be denied.
