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.

Texas Wind Farm Project Poses National Security Threat, Experts Say
WASHINGTON A proposed wind farm project in West Texas has become a potential national security issue due to its Chinese owner who has ties to the communist regime in Beijing and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), experts say.
A Chinese-owned company called GH America Investment Group since 2015 has bought 130,000 acres of land an area the size of Tulsa, Oklahoma in Val Verde County, Texas. The man behind the investment firm is Sun Guangxin, a businessman from Xinjiang, China, who is described as a “carpetbagger” by Chinese media with strong ties to the communist regime, The Epoch Times previously has reported.
