Abbott issues orders targeting China

Gov. Greg Abbott issued three executive orders last week putting the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party on notice, The Dallas Morning News reported.

Abbott said the orders are intended to protect Texans of Chinese descent from “harassment and intimidation” by the communist party and the government, and to fight threats to state security.

“Texas will not tolerate the harassment or coercion of the more than 250,000 individuals of Chinese descent who legally call Texas home by the Chinese Communist Party or its heinous proxies,” Abbott said.
