I believe that the twitter feed that BiggBob posted contains the answer to reason for that recent odd NSA briefing given to KS State legislators in Topeka KS.
It was suggested in newspaper stories at the time, but I think it has been confirmed thas Fox video where SOS Pompeo is explicitly telling Governors at the Governor’s meeting that they and individuals in their legislatures being individually targeted by the Chinese under the cover of working with and doing business in a state in order toinfluence policy and gain useful contacts with State governments while at the same time engaging in theft of intellectual property and conducting espionage. He has seen a list that names the governors by name and indicates whether they are agreeable, ambivalent, or hostile to Chinese efforts.

Kansas has both agricultural and avaiation industries that interest the Chinese. (Along with the Texas panhandle we also have the largest natural helium deposits in the world.)
No high drama here, but provides a reasonable explanation for the NSA briefing and a reassuring response by the Trump Administration to Chinese espionage efforts.

Makes sense. Especially with the new laboratory which is planned to be in Kansas—I’d still prefer a deserted Island somewhere—not the middle of the country.
