Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is demanding all agencies in the state halt investments in China and sell any current investments in the country as soon as possible.

The governor of Texas ordered state agencies to stop investing in China and sell assets there as soon as possible, citing financial and security risks, a sign of rising U.S.-China tensions starting to impact global capital flows.

Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday issued his third executive order in three days targeting the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party. The orders, Abbott said, were directed toward fighting threats to state security and protecting Texans of Chinese descent from harassment and intimidation by the Chinese Communist Party and government.

The land offer highlights the divide between states and local governments on supporting or resisting Trump's mass deportation plans.

After offering the Trump administration land for "deportation facilities," other parts of Texas near the border could be offered up, too, an official says.

The Texas Land Commissioner offered 1,402 acres of land in Starr County to be used to construct deportation facilities for the US, an early indicator of how the state will seek to help President-elect Donald Trump carry out his promised mass crackdown against undocumented immigrants.
