American states are increasingly implementing stringent regulations on China, with lawmakers introducing more than 240 measures to curb Chinese technological advancements and products. The primary objective behind these measures is to minimize Chinese influence, especially in areas such as cybersecurity and critical infrastructure. Many legislators view China as a potential threat and are taking precautionary steps to safeguard their states. This move comes amid escalating tensions between the United States and China, with a specific focus on restricting Chinese investments and contracts. Even sister-city relationships are now being scrutinized as part of this broader crackdown on Chinese involvement in various sectors.
