Congressman Jake LaTurner is calling on Governor Laura Kelly, and Kansas legislators to pass legislation to prevent alleged Chinese Communist Party infiltration in Kansas. LaTurner penned a letter highlighting concerns of national security relating to the announced investment from C-Nano USA, a Chinese-backed manufacturing company, in Johnson County. They are a Chinese-based manufacturing company that produces products for EV batteries, cellphones and power tools. The letter alleges C-Nano has repeatedly received funds from the Chinese government.
LaTurner says they will stop at nothing to infiltrate our supply chains and gain insight into our national security apparatus and allowing them to operate near significant military installations and other critical infrastructure opens the door to Chinese espionage and poses a serious threat to the United States and Kansas. LaTurner says Kansas must do all it can to prevent them from expanding in the state.
